TORONTO VEDIC ASTROLOGY MEET UP GROUP
If you are interested in learning the science of Vedic Astrology, Meditation, Mantra chanting etc., this is your meet-up group. Vedic Astrology refers to Indian or Hindu astrology, a system that originated in Ancient India, and was documented by sages in the Vedic scriptures. Also known as "Jyotish"-the science of light, Vedic astrology deals with astral ligh
t rays that are believed to determine our destiny/fate. Astrology is based on astronomy, and astrologers need to know the correct positions of the planets at any given point of time, as well as the correct positions of the zodiacal fixed star signs in relation to any place on earth at any given time. Once the correct positions of the signs and planets are known, astrologers can construct charts representing these positions. And using his knowledge, the astrologer can study the charts and can make a wide range of conclusions about the moment the chart was cast for. The basic premise of this astrology is that all things are linked. Your karma or fortune is determined by a predestined cosmic design. The Vedic astrologer looks at these planets, signs and house placements in your chart and can "see" your personality, as well as life events and possibilities - both the good and the bad times in your life. According to the science of astrology, planets represent certain energies, and, in fact, do emit certain magnetic and electric fields which influence the lives of human beings. The horoscope is a map of the heavens at the time and place of birth which shows the positions of the planets and their relation to the new born child. Astrology is the science which studies the combined influences of these stellar bodies on the human being. In astrological language, the planets indicate:
• The manner in which activities were performed in previous lives.
• The manner in which they are thus likely to be performed in the present life. The “houses” of the chart indicate specific areas in life in which actions will be performed, and which will be strong or weak depending on the nature and situation of planets that influence them. An astrology reading probes the depths of meanings to areas of life thus indicated. Astrology can be a useful tool to help you plan your life and make decisions. Whether it is for business or home, an astrological reading provides an overview of the situation, the large perspective. We all need the view from the mountain-top from time to time. The tools of Vedic Astrology are all time-tested and highly evolved focusing devices. The maths, the diagrams, has been developed over thousands of years to help focus the mind. Joytish is the study also of what helps you to shine – what helps you to fulfill your destiny here on earth, to fulfill the purpose you had in coming here and being born. In practice, Jyotish also focuses on how to remove or sidestep or work through the obstacles that will stop your light from shining. Join the TORONTO VEDIC ASTROLOGY MEET UP to meet other people who are interested in the philosophies and mechanics of various astrological and horoscope techniques. Working from a variety of historical texts and sources, we will broaden and deepen our knowledge of Vedic Astrology, its historical and modern use, and its relationship to other fields such as astronomy, psychology, philosophy, and the liberal arts.
