Talking Stars


How can the stars speak? Vedic astrology is based on the familiar Hindu premise that every part of the universe reflects every other part. The universe folds around itself like sets adjoining mirrors, reflecting a set number of patterns back and forth across many dimensions of being. The patterns of our lives are written across heaven, in the palms of our hands, and in the flight of  birds -in fact everywhere we-look if we have the skill to read the patterns.

For Hindus, the planets and stars, like every other part of the universe, are alive. The Sun is Lord Surya, the Moon is Lord Chandra. The stars along the ecliptic are the glittering wives of the Moon. The Sun, Moon, and planets are the gods responsible for adjusting our karma, They send us the results of our good or bad deeds at an appropriate moment in their cycles.

Vedic astrologer are Hinduism's physicians of the soul, diagnosing our karma and prescribing spiritual remedies to correct karmic imbalances. These remedies include pilgrimages, charitable donations, the chanting of mantras, and similar methods of clearing our karmic accounts.
