Ahhm so I was right, it was BS

OK, Let's start with the basics here. What is Astrolomy?

It was my intent with this post to bring some insite into how to use the Moon in the interpretation of a chart. It seems to me that the reply by "Evard" borders on B.S.

It has been several years since I have posted on this site so I thought perhaps I should take a few moments and reintroduce myself. I have been a student of astrology for almost 40 years and have been teaching on and off for some 30 years. Astrology is a personal passion. My interest in mainly confi...

The Moon is, without a doubt, the second most important factor in any chart. In some charts it may well be the most important. The Moon is certainly the most dynamic factor in the chart. Where the Sun passes through about one degree of the zodiac each day, the Moon passes through about 12 degrees. T...

I have been reading some of the posts here with questions on the nature of “Retrograde Motion” and I thought I would share a few thoughts on the subject. It has become popular in the last 50 years to ascribe all kinds of malevolent attributes to planets in retrograde. The worst offender if this is m...

Greetings: The mechanics of astrology have long been a personal obsession of mine. If astrology truely works it must obey the physical laws of the universe. If it obeys physical laws, there must be a way to test any "Astrology Effect". There are distinct differences between Vedic and Western astrolo...

Greetings: I have a long habit of doing a solar return and progression each year around my birthday. Some years back I came across this technique of Tertiary Progressions. I tried it out both for my own chart and a couple dozen other charts I follow regularly and found little value to it. I still co...

Greetings Swetha:

I have seen several different techniques applied to the practice of Horary Astrology. From my own experience those astrologers who use it in conjunction with Natal Astrology as well as making use of the available transits, are to most accurate.

Greetings Swetha: I was courious where you came by these "Egyptian Signs". Since the zodiac we use is Egyptian in origin ( See my post Origin of the Signs http://www.MysticBoard.com/viewtopic.php?t=1473 ) and some 5000 years old, it would seem to me these "New" Egyptian Signs are a bit questionable....

Greetings Virinchi:

When you talk of rahu and ketu, are you speaking about the nodes of the moon?

Greetings Virinchi: While I appreaciate the posts on such subjects as Mangal Dosha and Kuja Dosha, it might help those of us who practice western style astrology if you took the time in explaining the concepts of each. These may well be common concepts in Vedic but they simply go over the heads of m...
