The personal panchanga is the secret key in vedic astrology to
understanding the deeper levels of your chart, and this book will
help decode it. Panchanga is the Indian Almanac used from ancient
times to tabulate the effect of many diverse cosmic factors that
influence the quality of the day. Panch means five, and Anga means
limbs, so panchanga literally means five limbs - or the five
sources of energy through which the luminaries have to pass in
order to reach consciousness. The panchanga on the day of the birth
effects our physical energy, mental makeup, emotional connections,
practical desires and our sense of security. It additionally tells
of the gunas, Ayurvedic doshas, prakriti, chakras, the five great
elements, dysfunctional or burnt signs, the good luck points, the
lucky and unlucky planets, how to choose the right name, the best
career options, relationship compatibility and much more. After
reading this book, you may wonder how you ever analysed the natal
chart without it.
Astrology can help us divine the future--but it's also a perfect
path to reclaiming your personal power through wellness practices
tailored to your sign. Type-A Aries is prone to burnout at work and
should de-stress with hot baths. If you were born in Cancer, you
should be wary of bottling up anxieties and consider artistic ways
to express them instead. Capricorns benefit from routine, but watch
out if you're a spontaneous Sagittarius! Seasoned astrologers Monte
Farber and Amy Zerner provide a detailed analysis of each sun sign
and a treasury of wellness remedies for each, including teas and
tonics, crystals for healing, mindful meditations, breathing
affirmations, fitness styles, and more. Astrology for Wellness
provides all the information you'll need to understand your
personality profile, enhancing personal strengths for mental
clarity, physical strength, and spiritual insight.
This is an entertaining and informative guide to the subject of
astrology. It explains the workings of this most ancient and
fascinating art and explains how many of the supposed criticisms
often levelled against it are founded on mis-information and
ignorance. The first few chapters deal with the make-up of the
birth chart, the kinds of astrologer at large in the world today,
and what you can expect if you choose to have a proper consultation
done through a professional practitioner. The book then goes on to
list and to discuss the 12 most commonly presented criticisms of
astrology, with arguments and counter arguments presented in
detail, including scientific discussion. Later, there are chapters
dealing with astrology's place in the modern world and some
cautionary tales for astrologers themselves! Intelligence and
rationality are no barriers for anybody wishing to explore this
fascinating area of study, and here is a book designed to help us
do just that. On a lighter note, cartoons are sprinkled throughout
the book, making for a blend of serious scholarship and
light-hearted fun. It's a good read. Useful for the complete layman
and also for the professional. I hope you will enjoy it.
