Description

Light on Life brings the insight and wisdom of Indian astrology to the Western reader.

Jyotish or Indian astrology is an ancient and complex method of exploring the nature of time and space and its effect upon the individual. Formerly a closed book to the West, the subject has now been clarified and explained by Hart deFouw and Robert Svoboda, two experts and long-term practitioners. In Light on Life they have created a complete and through handbook that can be appreciated and understood by those with very little knowledge of astrology.

Jyotish states that by considering the state of the cosmos when an event occurs, we can begin to understand its nature- and to prepare an appropriate response. Although there are similarities with Western astrology there are also profound differences. Jyotish is, above all, infused with the religious, psychological and physical spirit of India. This comprehensive and enlightening book on the subject will prove a necessity to every astrologer or student of Indian thought.
