Vedic astrology is
part of the ancient, 5,000 year old yogic tradition from India that
includes hatha yoga, meditation and the healing science of Ayurveda.
Traditionally, vedic astrologers would study Ayurveda so they could
understand how to speak to their client’s health concerns. Ayurvedic
students would likewise study vedic astrology to understand the
potential for and timing or onset of illness in their clients. Traditionally a person would find out their dosha type by consulting an ayurvedic physician who would diagnose their type through taking their pulse. In Ayurveda, each dosha has a different pulse and that unique pulse can be read and determined by the physician. In addition there are many physical, emotional and mental attributes that are associated with each type that can be readily observed. In general, Vata dosha tends to be dominate in light frame people, Pitta in medium frame, and Kapha in large frame. Ayurvedic Astrology is unique in that the vedic astrologer can determine the dosha type by looking just at the astrological chart! For example, I have fiery Mars in the first house of my chart indicating high Pitta dosha. Jupiter, though, which is a watery Kapha planet is also very prominent in my chart in the angular 10th house. This would normally indicate someone with Kapha dosha. With Mars in the 1st house, though, one would read my chart as a two dosha type or Pitta-Kapha. (there are also single and tri-dosha types as well) Ayurvedic Astrology, a
synthesis of vedic astrology and ayurveda, can be extremely useful in
helping you to understand how to come into greater balance physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It can also support you by
offering various remedial measures (gemstones and mantras) that offset
negative planetary influences in your chart. Most importantly, though,
Ayurvedic Astrology can help you understand how to alter your lifestyle
so that you have the energy and vitality to create and go for what you
really want in life!
