Eastern Systems For Western Astrologers

Eastern astrology has been gaining popularity ever since the astrological community started to reexplore classical astrology. Where astrology fell into disfavor in Western circles and was only used for medical reasons after the papal bull issued in the early 1600s, it did not suffer that fate in India and China. For centuries, astrology has been used and highly respected in the East by the rich and poor alike. Why? Because it works. The astrology used in the East is very different than the systems used here in the West. To introduce contemporary astrologers to the modern value of these ancient traditions, this anthology provides a collection of outstanding essays by eight leading astrologers. Thomas Moore, the well-known author of Care of the Soul and Soul Mates, introduces this work with "the Astrological Vision," followed by: Astrology & The Chakras by Ray Grasse, The Degrees of the Zodiac & the I Ching by Robin Armstrong, Chinese Five-Element (Tzu P'ing) Astrology by Bill Watson, Tibetan Astrology by Michael Erlewine, The Humanism of Vedic Astrology by Hart deFouw, The Easter Moon through Western Eyes by Dennis Flaherty, Prediction East by James Braha, Life & Death East & West by Richard Houck.

What is the meaning of life? Do our lives have a mission or purpose? These are questions that we all seek answers to. The Zeus Sensor is based on the ancient Chinese astrology system of Zi Wei Dou Shu. Its main component is the Life Chart, akin to a road map and weather forecast combined, that helps you to discover virtually everything you need to know about yourself. The information is derived from over 100 points in the celestial sky known as “stars” and their locations during your exact moment of birth. As a result, the Zeus Sensor is a complex and detailed system of interpretation that allows us to view the blueprint of our lives by accurately describing our past, present and future. Unlike other systems based on Chinese astrology, the interpretations within the Zeus Sensor have been updated to fit our modern lifestyle. All the stars feature English names and descriptions, with the fourteen Primary Stars adopting the names of prominent figures in Greek Mythology. The modern world is taken into account by incorporating True Solar Time before converting one’s exact birth time to the Chinese Lunar Calendar equivalent. Our lives are influenced in every way by the Five Elements Theory therefore it is heavily incorporated in the Zeus Sensor system. To aid in the understanding of our core natural instincts this system portrays them as prehistoric animals. With the Zeus Sensor you can better understand your personality, relationships can be predicted and specific life events can be forecasted. Understanding the Five Elements Theory can also help improve your life balance. Utilizing the wisdom of the Zeus Sensor can positively transform every aspect of your life.

"Ever since my first journey to India I have desired to share the knowledge I was fortunate enough to receive. I have also felt a need to dispel some rather major misconceptions, the main one being the fact that Hindu astrology is extraordinarily difficult. This is not true, as will soon hopefully be revealed. Although I have always been most fascinated with astrology because of the philosophical implications and revelations which can be extracted. I have done my best to keep philosophy from this work, as that is not my present purpose. It is my intention only to present Hindu astrology in a way that it deserves to be presented, which is long overdue -- a way which western astrologers can understand and utilise, and which will clear away the mystery and finally put into perspective the enormously complex techniques which make up the bulk of most textbooks on the subject. Having worked with both Hindu and western systems, it is my experience that the two greatly complement each other and together form the basis for a complete and profound astrology." -- taken from the Introduction.
