It is common knowledge that the 12 star-signs map the sky and set the stage for the drama of life. This book expands this awareness manifold by revealing that it is the 27 constellations and not the 12 signs which truly map the ecliptic and provide the celestial backdrop for affairs on earth. Instead of taking away from the widely recognized meanings and significations of the 12 signs they enrich them with a whole new depth of perspective and interpretation. These 27 cosmic transmitters were known to most ancients across the globe as the celestial quarters of the gods. Their knowledge however has been most well preserved in the Vedic heritage of India where they are known as Nakshatras. In addition to containing a 23 pronged dissection of these celestial portals this work contains 27 colored picture images that capture the functionings of these constellations in a way that words cannot. It is our hope that you will enjoy this cosmic journey as much as we have enjoyed making it available to you.

Read book ›Rahu and Ketu the north and south nodes of the moon are probably the most interesting profound and mysterious of all planetary influences in Vedic astrology. As the dragon s head and the dragon s tail of western astrological thought the two nodes represent powerful psychic forces beyond our personal control or understanding They deal with the secret hidden eccentric spiritual or perverse sides of life-the higher and lower ranges of human activity beyond the normal scope covered by the seven major planets. The nodes are closely connected to world events and global trends-the broader streams of destiny and the collective influences that can overwhelm our personal karma including destructive occurrences like wars or plagues. They are also key indicators of future social developments. For example the mass media relates to Rahu which represents new popular and expansive trends while much of the cutting edge of science and technology like computers relates to Ketu which represents insight precision and unlocking the secrets of nature. In this regard Rahu and Ketu have a place in Vedic astrology similar to that of the outer planets of Uranus Neptune and Pluto in western astrology which are also used for collective phenomenon. Rahu comes from the Sanskrit root rah meaning to hide and refers to what is secret mysterious and profound or a cave. Rahu obscures or protects and indicates Maya which is not only illusion but also any magical power or captivating knowledge. Ketu comes from the root ci meaning to highlight appear or become consciousness or a flag. Prash Trivedi offers what is probably the longest most researched and most original book on Rahu and Ketu published in modern times. He has studied the classics thoroughly and understands the ancient symbolism of the nodes which he explains with great lucidity. But he is no mere repeater of old information.
