"The cosmos is a tapestry of interlinked vibrations." In Indian Vedic astrology, the interplay between the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu forms the foundation of all predictive analysis. Recognizing these natural allegiances allows us to see how internal and external forces align—or conflict—within our own charts.
