Dr. Masaru Emoto - The Hidden Messages of Water Signs
Namaste Friends,
I have an article published in the current February/March issue of The Mountain Astrologer (TMA) magazine. The article is entitle, "The Hidden Messages of Water Signs," and is a fascinating study of the Vedic astrology chart of Dr. Masaru Emoto. In recent years, Dr. Emoto's groundbreaking research on water has earned him worldwide recognition and was featured in the popular movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know?!!"

The magazine is now on the shelves at over 2000 bookstores internationally including Borders, Barnes & Noble, Tower Books, Hastings, as well as independent bookstores, and health food stores.

Jupiter, The Sun, and Your Life Purpose
When someone asks me "What's my life purpose?" I always ask them "What do you mean by life purpose?" They'll often reply "What work should I be doing?" referring to their career, which is indicated primarily by the 10th house. However, yesterday I mentioned that the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses are called 'dharma' houses and are the primary places to look for understanding our life purpose. Any planet associated with these houses, and/or their lords, will have a say in our life purpose, what we are born to do.

However, there's more. In Vedic astrology, we always look to the house, house lord, and the significator of a house to understand the condition of any particular house. For this reason, the Sun and Jupiter are important planets of dharma. They both are significators of the 9th house, while Jupiter takes on that role for the 5th house, and the Sun does the same for the 1st house. Between the two of them they cover all three dharma houses.

According to various media reports and sightings pop star Britney Spears seems to have joined a long list of Western stars seeking enlightenment in ancient Hindu mysticism.

Her forehead blessed with red kum kum, Spears and her four-month-old son, Sean Preston, were photographed leaving the Hindu temple in Malibu after taking part in religious ceremonies. Spears is also said to be visiting Hindu mystics for a study into the past and future.

The Value of Prashna or Horary Astrology
Astrology is study of the quality of a specific moment in time as expressed by the planets. When we have a sincere question and look at the chart of the time that we ask the question it will reflect both the question and its answer. This is called Prashna in Vedic astrology or Horary in Western astrology. It's a sophisticated system in and of itself separate from natal chart analysis. In Vedic astrology prashna uses special aspects called Tajika aspects. However, even without knowing these special rules we can gain a lot just by studying the prashna chart using regular (Parashari) natal chart analysis rules. The questioner is basically represented by the 1st house and 1st lord. Whatever house applies to the question is also analyzed for instance, the 7th house and 7th lord for relationship.

A few days ago, I was giving a reading to a woman who asked whether she will get back together with her ex-husband...
