Vedic Astrology - The science of light
The universe can be seen as a great school, a celestial institution of learning within which we are all born, accumulate experiences, and ‘die’. We have come here to learn lessons that will prepare us to return to our source, the origin of all. In the course of learning these lessons, we create our future reality by our actions. This is called karma. We create our karma. Our karma creates our destiny.
A competent Vedic astrologer can show you the ‘blueprint’ 
for your destiny as it has formed over many lifetimes, and help you understand what forces are being enacted upon you due to your karma. He can go a step further by prescribing remedial measures to help balance or alleviate any negative karma, all of which have been used effectively in ancient cultures for millennia. If the astrologer is a spiritually aware soul, he can even indicate the specific processes leading to your own self-knowledge, which will allow you to transcend karma altogether.
Astrology in its highest form does not seek simply to console or inform you, but to permanently empower you with the tools necessary to go beyond your fate, and not just react to each crisis as it appears.
What is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic astrology is traditionally called ‘jyotish’ – the science of light, and has its roots in the ancient Vedic culture of India. It is based on the Vedic scriptures, some of the oldest known writings to man (well over 5,000 years old). The Vedas encompass a vast ocean of knowledge, both material and spiritual. This knowledge was revealed by Divinity to the rishis, the sages of Vedic culture. From the rishis, this knowledge was preserved and passed down from teacher to student since time immemorial. Vedic astrology is considered by many to be the original form of astrology. It spread by diffusion into other cultures, like those of Tibet, Burma, and China, as well as Babylonia, Egypt, Persia and Greece.
Vedic astrology is actually a spiritual science of self-knowledge. It is a tool to help us unfold into our actual higher or true self, that of pure consciousness. The planets can be seen as symbols in a cosmic language. This language helps the embodied soul know something of the will of God in the material world, particularly relative to the individual’s purpose and destiny. It is not limited to mere psychological analysis. It shows us the dynamic interplay between fate and freewill, one’s karma and destiny. It can also be used as a tool for understanding how to transcend one’s karmic destiny.
