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

The Vedic era in ancient India predates the written word. Seers of the starry skies recognized the movement of sun, moon, and planets through the constellations. They developed an “art and science of light” called Jyotish in Sanskrit, intuiting symbolic relationships between celestial bodies and the potentials for lived experience.

 Humanistic astrology is about understanding your potential, awakening to your best self, discerning the gift in your life challenges and blessings and actively creating the life you long for. 

Vedic astrology differs from Western astrology—just as the wisdom of the East contrasts with the wisdom of the West,  

Who am I, what do I want, how am I meant to serve?

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.
