I am living in Ishikawa Prefecture in a town called Noto Chou on The Noto Peninsula. I have been living in Noto since 2016. A 7.6 Earthquake hit the Noto Peninsula on January 1st, 2024, but it is still one of the most beautiful parts of Japan. It is a place where your surrounded by the Sea, the Sea of Japan and Toyama Bay. You can look across Toyama Bay and see the beautiful Northern Japanese Alps in the distance.

Vedic Astrology is a very complex subject that originated in ancient India. It is filled with many spiritual concepts that tie into Yoga, Ayurveda, Indian rituals, and scriptures. If you don’t have a solid foundation, it’s easy to get lost in the expanses of this subject. Vibrant sky astrology aims to give you a foundation and simplify the learning and studying of this beautiful science where you can enjoy it. From my own experience of when I first started studying Vedic Astrology, it was really a struggled to find a firm foundation on where to start. Here was the difficulty. It took many books, you tube videos, astrology readings, Astrology teachers, and giving up and starting over again which took years to find the proper foundation on how to do readings, how to build an Astrology and spiritual practice, and how to do research and case studies correctly. Readings in Vedic Astrology Not only from my own experience but from others I know I find many Vedic Astrology readings to be very cryptic and dark by many. Because of a reading, I stayed away from it for five years before returning to Vedic Astrology. The cruel reading I asked about my career in my Saturn Dasha to an Astroloiger and What I was told was extremely cruel, they told me something that amounted to you will never achieve your goals and just meditate by saying Om Nama Shivaya. This reading gave me no prospects and no hope in a time which was one of the lowest parts of my life. Failure learning and experience brings success Being me, I didn’t listen, and I had a lot of failures, but I learned from these failures and achieved a lot more success by having failed. I succeeded a lot more with the experience I had than I would have by just doing nothing. The lesson learned What this experience did was showed me the benefits of what cruel planets like the Waning Moon, Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu can do. These planets, though cruel, are really planets that we need to work on in our lives to help us improve ourselves. Readings don’t need to be dark and filled with hopelessness. Readings should be about how to use the cruel planets to overcome challenges and bring the blessing of hope from Guru (Jupiter) into someone’s life. My goal is to bring Hope and simplification. I don’t want others who are learning Vedic Astrology or interested in Readings to fall into the same situation as I did. For people interested in getting readings, I want to bring hope into your life by showing you how they can overcome challenges in life in a holistic way. For Students of Vedic Astrology my goal is to create an environment where students or people who are interested find it easy to build a proper foundation, learn, and enjoy Vedic Astrology.Mythology and Rich History of Vedic Astrology
Vedic Astrology, known as Jyotish, means the science of the light. When you look up in the sky at night and see all the beautiful stars as you look into space, your captivated by the vastness and the beauty of the Universe. The stars your seeing are the neighbors to our solar system. When you see really bright stars, notice they are in a slightly different place after observing them for a time, and they don’t twinkle. You can easily see them without a telescope; they are the visible planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The two luminaries are the Sun and Moon. When you observe the Moon and all the visible planets at night, the light you see from the planets is the light of our sun bouncing off them and reflecting back at us. In Vedic Astrology, each planet is an extension and an aspect of the Sun. Vedic Astrology is an ancient astrology dating back thousands of years to the Vedic Culture of India. In the beginning, it was used to observe the movement of the Sun and Moon through the sky. The ancient Indians noticed that year in and year out, the luminaries moved through same area of space throughout the year. This area of space the Moon and the Sun moved through became the 27 Nakshatras. Year after year and century after century of plotting the course of the Sun and the Moon. They noticed smaller objects that looked like stars but were more brighter and didn’t twinkle like other stars in the sky and followed the same path as the Sun and Moon. The Indians like other cultures observed the movements through the Nakshatras. The ancient Indians observed natural events that continuously occurred when the same objects moved through the Nakshatras. These celestial bodies moved through the Nakshatras, they noticed a pattern of events natural Events that occued here on Earth such as the changing of seasons, changing of the tides, weather patterns, floods, natural disasters, and more. One of the most fascinating aspects of Vedic astrology is as the ancient Indians observed these events, they tried to explain them by creating a mythology around the Nakshatras and the celestial bodies that transited through them. The Mythology of Vedic Astrology is truly rich. Each of the 27 Nakshatras have a Mythology around them that are related to their effects. The nine visible planets, Sun, Moon which are the luminaries, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, which are the five visible planets, and Rahu and Ketu who are the Eclipse points or Nodes of Vedic Astrology totaling to nine planets.Astrology of the Sky
November 14th 2024 current positions of the planets in the sky. From the website theskylive.com.
Vedic Astrology is the Astrology of the sky. Returning to Namaste’s meaning, the light in me sees the light in you. The Sun is the origin of our solar system, and all light around us is the origin of all life on Earth. When we look up at the planets visible to us in the sky, we see the Sun’s light reflected off each planet in the Night sky. This is why Vedic Astrology uses the current position of the visible planets. As of November 14th, The Sun is in the Constellation of Libra, The Moon is in the Constellation of Pisces, Mercury is in the Constellation of Scorpio, Venus is in the constellation of Sagittarius, Mars is in the constellation of Cancer, Jupiter is in the Constellation of Taurus, and Saturn is in Constellation of Aquarius. What are the visible planets? When you’re looking up at the sky at night the planets with you see with your own eyes are the planets used in Vedic natal Astrology. Uranus and Neptune are not utilized when your looking at a person’s birth chart in Vedic Natal Astrology. When your researching world events in the charts of nations, natural disasters, and other mundane astrological subjects the outer planets are used. Rahu and Ketu Rahu and Ketu are the eclipse points used in Vedic Astrology. The eclipse points are often referred to as the true nodes. They are retrograde in nature. Retrograde means the planet is moving backwards to our position here on Earth. Rahu and Ketu are only visible on eclipses which occur only twice a year for a few hours a day.
