ASTROLOGY IS MORE THAN SUNSIGN

Vedic Astrology originated several thousand years ago in East India, from the same enlightened minds that brought the world yoga. The origin of these healing systems is the books known as the Vedas, from which the term "Vedic Astrology" is derived. Even though the Vedas are thought to be the oldest books known to mankind, at least 4,000 years old, the “V Vedic Astrology and yoga have exactly the same goal, to help us live a more peaceful, conscious, and happy life. An important addition to Vedic Astrology is the distant stars. There are 27 distant stars, or nakshatras used. Because the stars are eminent, transcendent forces not in our solar system, the Indian astrologer looks to the nakshatras to see the soul nature and the deeper cosmic meaning operating behind the planets. Each of these nakshatras is related to a different deity.

The nakshatras are especially useful in relationship astrology. Rather than mainly focusing on 12 Sun Sign archetypes, as in Western Astrology, there are 27 lunar archetypes. Vedic Astrology places a much higher importance upon the Moon in relationship astrology, because it is the Moon that refers to the part of us that seeks connection, nourishment, and oneness with another. The Sun refers to our individualistic nature, not our desire to merge, as shown by the Moon.

By examining the position of our planets, signs, and houses, a Vedic astrologer can help us see the deeper issues we are facing, as well as challenges and opportunities. We can use Vedic Astrology for life's important decisions, such as beginning a new relationship, getting married, starting a business, taking trips, and creating lasting wealth. Consultation with a Vedic astrologer can be an integral tool in building a life of lasting happiness and joy.
