Q:  WHAT IS VEDIC ASTROLOGY? How is it related to other divination tools and spirituality?

A: It is the astrology of ancient India, also called Jyotish, science of knowledge. In India, where the nights are warm, the sky is clear, the stars and planets were  bright due to absence of city lights at that time,  for thousands years people observed the night sky and made correlations between movements of the planets and the events of human life here on earth. Planets of our solar system represent karmic points that will be experienced by every human throughout his/her lifetime. Experience will be subjective, depending on disposition of planets in the birth chart as well as individual’s consciousness’ past life. Birth chart is a blue print of our destiny and every promise in it will fructify during one’s current life. It includes the worldy events like  achievements, career, relationships, money, luck, spirituality as well as level and evolution of consciousness .
The future is mutable, however, and the choices every individual makes will still be in the frame of one’s personality and destiny as reflected in the birth chart.
From the great teachers of all time Jesus and Buddha to modern visionaries like David Hawkins (M.D., PhD), Wayne Dyer, and Eckhart Tolle all teach us how to transcend our destiny. They teach us how to transcend ourselves in order to free ourselves from karma and sins of past and present lives. They show to us the way to ultimate liberation of the soul. However, attraction to the spiritual path and ones level of evolution will still be reflected in birth chart. A Zen master said:
