"A
child is born on that day and at that hour when the
celestial rays are in the mathematical harmony with one's
individual karma. The horoscope is a challenging portrait,
revealing one's unalterable past and probable future
results. The message boldly blazoned across the heavens at
the moment of birth is not meant to emphasize fate, but to
arouse our will to action."
- Swami Sri Yukteswar

Preface:
This brief article is part of a
much larger and more technically
based body of work currently
being developed for publication.
I hope most of the
‘astro-babble’ terms have been
eliminated or explained so the
combined history and astrology
of the magnificent Charles
Bridge can be easily understood
as a bridge between us and our
ongoing human endeavor to derive
meaning from our connection with
the stars, both from this
special chart and for every
birth chart we examine.

Vedic
Astrology is – first and foremost – a lunar based
astrological system. The Moon is indicative of our
emotional life, our inner connection to the ‘larger
matrix’ and to each other. The Moon Sign of the Zodiac
– waxing or waning at the time of birth – provides us
with a wealth of information from which to analyze our
early childhood experience, our mother, our intuition,
our influence in given situations, and our emotional
strengths. The Moon is used as an Ascendant sign and,
even if the time of birth is unknown, reading a chart
from the Moon provides valuable personal insights to
help us light our path.
The
Moon moves through each sign of the zodiac approximately
every 2 ½ days and its position in our birth chart and
its daily location helps us gain a better understanding
of our own emotional support systems and our own
intuitive processes.
One of the many unique features of the Vedic system of astrology is its use of planetary cycles which present periods of time when various planetary influences are "activated".
