The latest Astro-Profile article is entitled, The Timing of Marriage and Relationships.

The most common question posed to astrologers is about relationship, especially "When will I meet Mr or Mrs Right?!" This Astro-Profile teaches how to accurately predict the timing for marriage and/or the beginning of a new relationship. It outlines comprehensive steps for interpreting both the natal chart and the navamsha, and discusses the common dashas and sub periods for marriage. It also shows how to cross check using multiple dasha systems.

Through the example charts of Sonny and Cher Bono, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, Antonio Banderas, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Paramahansa Yogananda, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and others. the principles for timing marriage come alive. Over thirty example charts are used, including many of ordinary people.

If you've ever had uncertainty about how to predict marriage this article will make it abundantly clear.

The Astro-Profiles are either $8.95 or $9.95, depending on the length, and will be immediately received in your email inbox.

What is Vedic Astrology?
Introduction to Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrology is the traditional system of astrology of India that is at least 4000 years old. It is also known as Jyotish, Indian astrology, Eastern astrology, or Hindu astrology. It has recently gained popularity in the West because of its accuracy in predicting events and major trends in our lives. Vedic astrology is an excellent tool for helping us understand our dharma or life purpose as well as for giving us specific timetables for making decisions about career, finances, relationship, health, spiritual growth, etc. It is based on the sidereal zodiac which calculates the positions of the planets according to observable astronomy.

Medical Astrology Class Videos
Now Available For Download!

 
In August I taught a webinar class on Medical Astrology entitled, Arishta Yogas and Case Studies in Health, offered on 5 consecutive Wednesdays, August 5 - Sept 2. These five classes are now available as downloadable wmv files. The cost is $90 ($18 per class). The total viewing time is more than 8 hours of instruction. Shortly after purchase you will receive the files as downloadable links by email.
Class Description:
Arishta yogas are planetary combinations of misfortune, and their presence or absence are key indicators for one's overall health. They also become activated during the dashas of planets forming these yogas, which is a primary method for predicting the timing of illness. In this class you will learn how to identify and assess the strength of arishta yogas to cause illness, as well as learn factors of cancellation (arishta bhangas), and how to pin point timing. We will do this by analyzing the charts of celebrities like Farrah Fawcett, Robin Williams, Johnny Carson and others, as well as ordinary people dealing with a variety of illnesses. We'll also contrast these with charts of healthy people. This class is a power point presentation (over 60 slides and 20 example charts). Applicable towards ACVA certification credit.
