How to Practice Vedic Astrology

More about the book

This comprehensive guide to Vedic astrology, or jyotish, teaches beginners how to read and interpret astrology charts based on their own birth charts and those of 112 notable figures. It demonstrates how to use Vedic astrology to anticipate future events and harness cosmic energies for positive outcomes. The book includes a CD with Vedic astrology software, enabling readers to create their own charts. For over 5,000 years, jyotish has been used in India to foresee influences and guide major life decisions. Andrew Bloomfield presents this ancient practice in an accessible format for Western audiences, equipping readers with the tools to predict the future. Vedic astrology, codified by ancient Maharishis, aims to help individuals achieve the four fundamental goals of human existence: kama (desire), artha (wealth), dharma (life purpose), and moksha (spiritual growth). Unlike other astrological systems, Vedic calculations emphasize the primal, unconscious forces that drive thoughts and actions. This guide shows how to make accurate predictions regarding career, love life, children, and spirituality. The included CD allows for the creation of unlimited natal charts, while the book features charts of 112 notable personalities, providing valuable examples for learning chart interpretation.
