What is Vedic Astrology?
Introduction to Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrology is the traditional system of astrology of India that is at least 4000 years old. It is also known as Jyotish, Indian astrology, Eastern astrology, or Hindu astrology. It has recently gained popularity in the West because of its accuracy in predicting events and major trends in our lives. Vedic astrology is an excellent tool for helping us understand our dharma or life purpose as well as for giving us specific timetables for making decisions about career, finances, relationship, health, spiritual growth, etc. It is based on the sidereal zodiac which calculates the positions of the planets according to observable astronomy.

Astro-Profiles of Celebrities

Vedic astrology becomes the most interesting when you see it working in people's lives, especially in the lives of popular celebrities. The Astro-Profile articles are well researched Jyotish lessons teaching principles through practical examples which makes learning fun, intriguing and engaging. The Astro-Profiles are $8.95 each.

The latest Astro-Profile article is entitled, The Midas Touch: The Astrology of Extraordinary Wealth. Have you every wondered why some people seem to have the midas touch – that special ability to turn whatever they do into gold? This astro-profile explores the astrological principles of wealth: how to gauge wealth in the natal chart, and the timing for acquiring it through the Vimshottari dasha system.

By analyzing the charts of Rupert Murdoch, Queen Elizabeth II, Bill Gates, JP Morgan, Ted Turner, Donald Trump and others you’ll learn wealth-producing combinations or dhana yogas, as well as special graha yogas for wealth. You’ll also learn subtler methods like the calculation and use of Indu Lagna, and how to determine if the wealth is earned or inherited.
