On Vedic Astrology, Its Orientation & Practical Applications
Through its rendering and remembering of a purposeful connection between inner and outer worlds, Vedic Astrology and its archetypal palette—of Planets, Signs, Houses; of Nakshatras, Deities, and Stories (Timely Symbols, Energetic Flavors, and Manifesting Modes)—may be applied to any area life. Its skillful use yields both helpful guidance and practical strategies, whether or not people see themselves as living a spiritual path. It offers the gift of archetypal insights—helping us to see our natural inclinations and existential developmental processes as expressions of a transpersonal orchestration that is at once spiritual (transcendent of the form) and practically manifested (immanent in the form). Through the process of a life lived artfully, we elaborate and nourish our Souls, and our life becomes increasingly suffused by a soulful radiance, exuding a palpable strength of being.
In conjunction with its Yoga, and Ayurveda, Vedic Astrology offers not only a language for exploring an entire field of creative tides and influences but also the means and practical measures to balance those influences that impact us most strongly. In the process, we are encouraged to find a center that is deeper and more alive—at once more connected with the many facets of the world and who we have always been, in essence—while aligning us in harmony with the manifesting processes of the outer world to fulfill our destiny.
Although the planets and signs are by and large the same in Vedic Astrology as in Western Astrology, Vedic Astrology is quite distinct, emerging as one limb from the larger trunk of spiritual wisdom that is the Vedas. In Vedic Astrology, for example, it is taken as a starting point that we are possessed of not only of a Physical Body, but also of a subjective, emotional, or Astral Body, as well as the Atma, our Causal-, Spirit- or Soul-Body. As we manifest and live, we are specifically ensouled in the cosmic field of elective creativity and manifest expression—like a shining spark within the larger burning flame of a living cosmos. Accordingly, this living spark shines radiantly as we become involved in the task of living, and burns to evolve through the sojourns we enact, walking pathways as we enact our choices in the realm of experience.
As a form of astrology, Vedic Astrology lends itself directly to the discovery of patterns and influences working both on us and through us. Vedic Astrology also provides particular insights into working through cosmic cycles of change as they impact our personal development—helping us to grow through such challenging experiences as tumult, upheaval, initiation of a new direction, differentiation within a pattern, release, return, and ultimate reintegration—on the other side of transformation. In order to excel amidst such cycles of change, specified helpful responses can be practiced to harmonize, mitigate, and balance our greatest challenges.
Referred to as remedial measures, the range of helpful responses that may be recommended to ease some of the more challenging facets of an astrological relationship span many aspects of lifestyle (largely addressed by Ayurveda) and styles of Yoga, frequently involving the recommendation of specific meditations, asanas, mantras, mudras, and pranayams. When combined with the techniques of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Meditation, Vedic Astrology can help us to reveal and walk our path of destiny, lending us both the perspective and practical measures to walk in balance and grace toward our soul’s yearning, inner purpose, and intrinsic motivation.
What Are The Nakshatras?
In contrast to the more Solar-inflection of the zodiac belt into 12 constellated signs, this more Moon-based inflection of the same circle, speak in more Lunar terms to our nature—reflective of and receptive an interior language of personal feelings and subjective experiences. In simple terms, the Nakshatras speak to the esoteric side of the system that is Vedic Astrology as it mingles with its yogic and spiritual roots in the Vedas. Each of the 27 Nakshatras is also associated with a Specific Deity. Each Nakshatra also signifies a point, in the vast system of Vedic Astrology, by which to marry everyday concerns and choices with the vibrancy of an archetypal cosmos.
In many ways, the Nakshatras bridge between the predicative dimensions in which Jyotish specializes, lending the wisdom of the sidereal star systems to matters of the mundane that populate and describe everyday living. One such branch of fusion between the personal microcosm and the manifest / visible macrocosm is in the assessment of Vedic Relationship and Compatibility, where the Nakshatras are central in the ascertainment of longevity, rapport, and overall happiness likelihoods for partnerships. Furthermore, with their myriad repertoire of richly nuanced symbols, significations, stories, deities, and other qualitative factors—each Nakshatra speaks to the nature of the Moon, as symbol of dynamic immersion in manifest existence.
Imagine the Zodiac Belt in the Celestial Sky as the Circular Form of a Ring that can be worn. On the outside, there is the visible surface, and there are things going on there, glinting, reflecting, shining, and so forth. This side of the ring is taken as the Solar Side, which is readily visible to the world, and thereby speaks to facets of this manifestation in a language that can be quite illumined brilliantly, like the qualities of solar light.
And yet, within this same circle—this same ring shines—there is Lunar Side, a Lunar Light, and a particularly Lunar Mode—of Being, Perceiving, and Knowing. This ‘second side’ is like taking off the ring to behold its inside surface, to feel where it makes contact with the skin. The logic of its felt insight and emotional awareness is apprehended and approached differently than its other particular flavors, which are more amenably suited to the eye, and the qualities of illumination furnished by the Sun’s rays. There may be inscriptions here, felt more than seen. This side of the ring makes felt contact, and attests to the presence of a different visceral and palpable reality, even as it is experienced differently, less visually—rendering itself more through a language of feeling.
This modest sketch is meant to invite you to the experience of another, complimentary logic rooted in the Moon’s processions, as it circumnavigates the stars / star groups that compose the Nakshatras, or Lunar Mansions.

What do these Terms Mean—Muhurta, Horary, & Electional Astrology ?
Horary Astrology is the selection of auspicious or conducive times for specific types of practice or action. Ideally, we select we coordinate the timing of our actions such that our choices resonate with and harmonize to—that is, supportively align with—the energetics of the time, which are already more or less primed, ready, or thusly suited.
Electional Astrology, much like Muhurta, is the process of placing decision-making in relationship with astrological considerations, indicative of the dynamic energies of the source, subtle, or archetypal realm which an esoteric cosmology understands as crucial to the unfoldment and manifestation of whatever the seed potentials contained within or promised by an idea or choice for likely or eventual fruition.
