Vedic Astrology is the science of karma. A Vedic horoscope reveals the karmas we're destined to experience in this life, based on our thoughts and actions in previous births. It's like a spiritual report card that shows areas where we did our homework in past incarnations, and areas where we need to work harder.

   The Vedic system of planetary cycles gives us a general idea of when our karma is coming due – for better or worse! With advance warning we can prepare for challenging cycles, or do spiritual practices to help soften our "bad" karma. And we can gear up for good cycles when we'll start to enjoy the consequences of our past good words and deeds.

   I've written quite a bit on the astrology of India, including a book, A Thousand Suns: Designing Your Future with Vedic Astrology. I've served on the Board of the American Council of Vedic Astrology, and was for many years the Vedic Astrology Editor for The Mountain Astrologer magazine.
