| The
Trial of Matter and Eternal Love |
The polarity of light
and dark is all around us. It is almost as if the universe is having an
argument with itself while we watch. One side of the argument says life
is based on power and is only temporary. Death is final, nothing is beyond
it and all displays of beauty and love are transient bubbles in an ocean
of darkness. The other argument says life is based on love and that we are
eternal beings made of knowledge and by nature joyful. It argues that behind
power lie wisdom, love and a Supreme Being who has created all of this in
the service of beauty, joy and eternal love. Like any trial, advocates from
both sides bring forth arguments to support their position. The conclusion
is very important since once accepted it will become the basis of our life.

You
May Not Be the Sign
You Think You Are - The Greek Blunder! |
Just as we have a relationship with
the Earth that is sacred and has a purpose, so we have a relationship with
the stars that is important, sacred and essential to our well being. Recently,
in the rush of modern scientific knowledge, the importance of these sacred
relationships has been ignored for the sake of gaining strictly material
knowledge. Now and forever that new knowledge needs to be integrated into
an emotional and meaningful relationship to the Earth and the Cosmos. |
Vedic
Astrology
Precession of the Equinoxes |
To understand Astrology it is necessary
to have a basic grasp of Astronomy. The horoscope which an astrologer casts
and uses to understand a person's destiny is actually a picture of the sky
surrounding the Earth at the moment of birth. Horoscope means "view
of the hour." In order to understand that view some basic Astronomy
is necessary. As you will see, the horoscope is not just your Sun sign but
includes other planets and the constellations or star groups as well. A
proper understanding of Astronomy will also make it clear how Western or
Tropical Astrology is using calculations that are inaccurate by almost 2000
years! |
