Join Joli and Aswin as they talk about the nakshatras--the heart of Jyotisa.

They are therefore more detailed that the 12 zodiac signs and are believed to have a significant impact on a person's character, life events, and auspicious timings for rituals. What is the ...
Tiny divisions, deep revelations!

Joli and Aswin continue their discussion on client chart prep and what techniques they like to use--and when and why they use what! We talk about consultation charts--what are they and how do we use them? How much detail do we need about the client and the client's life before the session? Is the client supposed to tell us what they need or are astrologer's supposed to divine this? Is there always a pressing need on the client's si...

This is the first half of a conversation around client/chart prep that leads into a discussion on technical prep that will be feat...
What does cross-cultural astrology mean? And why might delving into this be of value or benefit to any astrologer? What do we mean when we talk about traditions versus schools of astrology?
