One of the reasons people approach astrologers is to ask, “What’s my life purpose?” From the Vedic perspective, it is best to begin this inquiry with two questions: “How can I live a purpose-filled life? How can I be present for my life’s journey?” As a result, the passion, purpose, drive, and action that we all seek are more likely to follow.

For example, in any given year there will be twelve full moons and twelve new moons, each producing their own unique destiny. Whether we are born on a new moon or a full moon matters, because our consciousness is stamped by that condition of nature at the time of our birth.

McConaughey a Hollywood superstar and self-described “anthropologist, folk philosopher and truth-seeking street poet”. Two “godmen” from such different worlds talking about their recent books on McConaughey’s youtube channel was unexpected but fascinating.
Looking through the astrological matrix, a powerful Mars, the planet of audacity, courage, and winning, dominates their Vedic horoscopes. Sadhguru’s Mars in Leo gains tenacity and confidence from the Sun. McConaughey’s exalted Mars in Capricorn gains ambition and focus from Saturn.
Their message––we are masters of our destiny.
Their Kuta points or compatibility score is just 17.5 points, which is below average (you need roughly 21 out of 36 points ). Specifically, two compatibility measurements, Bha Kuta and Mahendra, do not meet the requirements. Both of these relate to the couple’s relationship with the outside world. In other words, you might have a great one-one relationship, but if you don’t share the family culture, society, values, cultural background, etc. it often puts too much strain on the marriage and many relationships break under the pressure.
Read MoreConspiracy theories are not a new phenomenon by any means––our minds are wired to find comfort in hidden meaning and motive to events and people when life becomes uncertain and unpredictable. But how do conspiracy theories fit into the astrological matrix and how does that relate to the present and potential future of the USA?
Read MoreWithin every Mahadasha ( main planetary period) there are also Bhukti’s or Antar Dasha (sub planetary periods), where the other planets in the horoscope get to exert their influence. On June 18, 2018, the US horoscope changed Bhukti from Rahu Rahu to Rahu Jupiter. Jupiter is an idealistic planet, he pertains to divine laws that cannot be negotiated or altered

Add to this the freedom and perils of modern day online dating, with its illusion of infinite partnership potentials, couples today have little knowledge, guidance, or role models for finding a compatible mate, as well as sustaining lasting relationships.
Read MoreUnfortunately, oversimplified remedies keep Vedic Astrology a fringe healing modality, rather than the “Eyes of the Vedas”, as it was named by the Vedic seers and sages. All Yogic sciences, including Yoga, Mantra, Chakras, Ayurveda, Vedanta and Vedic Astrology, have the same foundational principles in dealing with hardships and overcoming fate.

This transit occurs once only every 18.5 years and has historically proven to be extremely explosive for the world. In recent history, events include 9/11 in 2001 and the beginning of the aids epidemic in 1982.
Economics Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman’s book Thinking Fast and Slow is a summary of Kahneman’s research on cognitive bias. The central theme of the book is that there are two modes of thinking, System 1, instinctive and emotional, and System 2 more deliberate and logical. His contention is that most people put too much confidence in System 1.
One of the things I have attempted to demonstrate is that Astrology should not be seen as some mysterious and metaphysical subject that we can choose to believe in or not.
