Can you be your own astrologer?

Today I'm grateful to interview Carol Allen about what she calls "The 5 Critical Keys to Love" - and it's all based on Vedic Astrology! Here is a little bit about Carol: "When I was twenty-three, a session with an astrologer changed my life. He predicted I’d become a counselor or teacher of some kind, and that I wouldn’t (and couldn’t) get married until I turned thirty. I was so impressed by his insights that I started studying with him, and was soon giving readings as well, in the process making his first prediction come true. And I quickly figured out two amazing things: 1. All anyone wants is love. (With career and money being a distant second – but only so they can get more love.) 2. Even the most otherwise successful, wonderful people typically have no clue how to succeed at relationships. But they desperately want to. (Refer to #1 again) But after a couple of years of doing readings and presenting this oh-so-accurate and in-depth wisdom to hundreds of women of all walks of life, I noticed some surprising things: as amazing as astrology was, much of what I’d always read and heard about it wasn’t true (discovering, for example, that Sun signs aren’t all that important in love, and that most of us aren’t even the sign we think we are). And, even more amazing, – astrology was not enough. Here’s what I mean: a woman would come to me wanting to know about her compatibility with a man. And it would be just perfect. But then she’d tell me they were miserable. Then another woman would come wanting to know about her man, and their compatibility would be just “so-so” and yet, she’d report that they were very happy. In a nutshell I realized there are actually FIVE critical keys to love. And only ONE of them is compatibility. But they’re all critical. So if a couple is missing any of them (even if they feel they have a soulmate, “wow” kind of connection) they won’t be able to reach “happily ever after.” Once I discovered the five critical keys, I was able to help my clients – and myself – like never before. You see, one of the keys has nothing to do with the stars – it has to do with YOU. It’s having good relationship skills. When I figured that out (and that mine were sorely lacking, and were to blame for my amazing, “perfect match” boyfriend heading off into the sunset without me) I went on a quest to learn all I could about relationships." Today Carol will share these 5 critical keys!

Get the free guide "Learn Your TRUE Sun Sign" at http://www.quietmind.yoga/sunsign In today's episode, I talk about what distinguishes Vedic Astrology from Western Astrology. You likely know your 'sun sign,' but where does that come from? Did you know it's NOT actually based on where the sun was when you were born, but where the sun was 2000 years ago? That was = when Babylonian astrologers created this system - but didn't know about the precession of the equinoxes - Vedic Astrologers DID know, and their calculations are still very close to those of modern astronomy - despite being a 3000+ year old system. You may be happy to learn that many aspects of Vedic Astrology stay the same. This lesson covers the sort of 'Vedic Astrology 101' topics like signs, planets, houses and some of the things unique to Vedic Astrology like the Dasha system and the Nakshatras - which are not just 12 divisions of the sky, but 108! Allowing for far more precise readings. I'll also say a bit about why Vedic Astrology is known as "Jyotish" or "the science of light" and how that can help us understand ourselves and each other.
