Jyotish Astrology
As
an occult Science, Astrology reigns supreme. However, given
that it is based on distant objects rather than our hand,
(palmistry) colorful cards (Tarot) or numbers, (numerology) its
effects are harder to cognize.
Soon,
auspicious times for every event as well as the deeper
motivating forces behind the universe were to be understood by
studying the rhythm of Planetary movements and our relationship
to them.
Modern arrogance has a tendency to dismiss the
wisdom of ancient civilizations because they lacked our modern
technology, with all its implied sophistication. But we should
not mistake our advanced technology to mean an advanced
understanding of the world, or even to mean an understanding of
the technology itself.

In our modern world, most of us live in urban areas.
The lines and mounts of
palmistry are planetary – the cards in a tarot deck mirror
planets in signs and other Astrological archetypes and
numerology is also based on unique planetary energetics.
Many other Earthly cycles such as high and low tides,
women’s menstrual cycles and the mating habits and rituals of
many other Earth creatures are determined by the Moon’s monthly
orbit.
From our vantage point
here on Earth we can see the Orion Nebula, believed to be the
birthplace of our Sun, or the Pleiades cluster of stars, newly
hatched worlds in the making, and many other sky objects, and
we are humbled by them.
Few would dispute
these claims as they are confirmed by logic and observable
events, however forgotten they are in most of our daily lives.
We are
struggling to get free and access the full power of who we
really
are.
These are not just heavenly
cycles; they are human ones.
Many of mankind’s earliest drawings, cave paintings and
writings were Astrological records of some sort.
The same is true with a
month; it is the 30 days it takes the Moon to wax from new to
full. A year is the time it takes the Earth to complete its
annual orbit around the Sun.
We are in fact star stuff, refined in a
sentient form, conscious and miraculous. We are children of the
stars.

Reclaiming
this lost spiritual heritage is central to our survival as a
species. Astrology is an example of this deeper connection to
truth and a large part of reclaiming our spiritual roots.
In our modern world, most of us live in urban areas.
Our bodies run on the same 24
hour cycle as the Earth. Every morning the Earth turns to face
the Sun’s life giving energy.
Of
the 3 main Vedic Sciences, Vedic Astrology is probably the most
misunderstood, especially here in the West, where many regard
Astrology as superstition and foolishness.
