The
Spiritual Science of Astrology has been misunderstood and misused in
the West in comparison with the enlightened view it has had
historically since ancient times in the East.
Generally
seen as a fortune telling device, for prediction of sources of
wealth, happiness or misfortune, it was justly criticized as a means
to take advantage of the credulity of people.
There
is no question of the influence of the planets. We are aware that
through the evident process of photosynthesis the sun brings life to
the planet. Similarly we know the effect that the moon has on the
tides of the ocean and by extension we understand the effect it has
in human being bodies with the high content of water.
It
is therefore reasonable to conclude that the other planets have
similar influence over the life on earth, each one with its own
characteristic and properties.
This
knowledge, according to Vedic teachings, product of revelation,
insight and profound study is the way astrology is perceived in the
East and was used for spiritual purposes. The true object of
astrology, based on the known influence of the planets helps to
determine the strengths and weaknesses of the character of each
individual in order to provide the recommendations to develop the
virtues that will help to raise the level of consciousness, grow as a
human being and fulfill the purpose of existence. We are very
fortunate to have Acharya Dinesh Mizra, an experienced Vedic
astrologer (see bio below) and Raquel (Sita) Gomez, practicing western astrology,
within the same purpose of spiritual growth, collaborating to share
this precious knowledge with us.
Acharya
Dinesh Mizra will teach a course and offer the service of
(natal charts) for those interested. The cost for the course is $150.
Raquel will be sharing with us
the conclusions of western astrologists for our times and offering monthly transits and free natal charts while she completes her studies.
