Vedic astrology cannot predict your life passages or tell you what you should or should not do. It can provide a symbolic understanding of how the nature of nine planets corresponds to life experience.

Vedic astrology be a pointing to the reality of unbounded awareness and the apparent but ultimately illusory forms of a manifest existence.

Sun symbolizes ultimate Source, bringing light and life from an absolute dimension to animate the creation.

Moon symbolizes the subtle emergence of consciousness as “I am,” sometimes referred to as “wisdom body” and the deeper love/beauty/joy of “body of bliss.”

Jupiter represents the embodiment of expansive beneficence, bringing the good, the generous and the abundant into the manifestations of a life.

Mars and Venus symbolize the active or Yang principle and the more passive or Yin principle.

Saturn mediates both loss and liberation, which at times seem to be linked to each other.

Mercury brings intelligence, communication, a quick mind and youthful vitality.

Rahu and Ketu are two “shadow” planets, formed in the play of light and dark of Sun, Moon and Earth. When the shadow comes upon Sun or Moon there is an eclipse. Rahu is expansive but can surprise with delusion. Ketu, like Saturn, may symbolize loss, liberation or both at once.
