Spring Festival Spring is almost sprung!! The vigor and renewal of spring time has been observed for a long time in Vedic traditions along many other cultures. In general, in the northern hemisphere, spring is a time of hope and rebirth. Typically, a lot of cleaning is done, broken things |
(and feelings) get fixed, homes are freshened up, and bright, newly bloomed flowers are placed around the house. Spring is observed as a time of the return of light and warmth. A time to resurrect, revive, and return to the light. Bonfires are built and the ashes of the old fire are spread out in the fields to fertilize and energize the New Year's harvest. Celebrate the balance of light and dark as the sun begins to shine more, foretelling new growth, energy, and prosperity ahead. If you want a new crop, you need to plant new seeds. Spring is the Time! |

| Precession of the Equinox The Sky is Falling! |
| Springtime heralds an important event in calendar systems and time keeping. The gears of the year in the zodiac are renewed and adjusted at this time. The zodiac, or bha chakra, is a wheel. Anything round is eternal in its flow. If you want to make the wheel temporal or a timekeeping device, you have to define a starting point on the natural seamlessness of the wheel. A traditional starting point on the wheel of the zodiac, also called the ecliptic (where eclipses occur), is the spring equinox. | |
| Ancient astronomer priests would look for the Sun rising at a certain spot on the horizon each year (often with the aid of temples, marker stones and the like) to mark the start of the spring season and a new year in the constellation of Aries. |

| A Study Guide to Nakshatras Part II - Chart Application |
| The human mind is a complex web of conscious and unconscious thoughts, desires, emotions and sensory perceptions. A Natal Chart shows us behavior tendencies, while the Lunar Mansions allow us to look more intimately at ones psychology and personal growth lessons. In Modern Astrology the Nakshatras are used for: Natal Astrology, Muhurtha, Mundane, Synastry and the Dasha System. For the purpose of this article, we will look at Natal and D-9 (Navamsha). Now, let us take a closer look at the Nakshatras and how to apply this information to basic chart analysis. For your reference, here is a list of the 27 Lunar Mansions: Each Nakshatra is associated with a symbol, motivation, deity and myth. They convey powerful messages. In my personal experience, I am finding that the myths are wonderful to share with clients because they offer an oasis of self discovery and healing. Due to length, I will omit the corresponding myths. Read The Complete Study Guide and See the Tables and Charts |

Quote of the Quarter Krishna speaking to Arjuna, O Son of Kunti, The nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed. -- Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 14.
