Beneath a Vedic Sun

 

By: Janet Attwood

 

 

For me, there is nothing worse than being in a career for which you

feel no passion. I know many people who are stuck in a work (or no

work) situation where they feel like their life has really just

stopped moving. One of the great things I like about William

Levacy's new book, Beneath a Vedic Sun-Discover Your Life Purpose

with Vedic Astrology, is that he uses new (to us Westerners) career

assessment guidelines from the Vedic system of India - what a

wonderful addition and compliment to The Passion Test in aligning

with your passion! These time-tested tips can really help point a

person in the right career direction (called "dharma" or right

action, by the Gurus of ancient India).

 

As you all know, I think that it is so important to feel the

passion, energy, and enthusiasm that comes from being in a job that

is suitable, and which brings us joy, and motivates us to keep

growing. Bill aligns with this perfectly. (By the way, I have known

Bill since 1971 and have used his amazing skills to help validate my

career decisions for many years. It has been very helpful and

prevented a lot of potential missteps along the way!

 

In his book, Bill explains that Vedic astrology is also big on

prediction, or forecasting, and has hundreds of techniques to help

us anticipate the approach of favorable (or unfavorable) periods so

that we can prepare and fortify ourselves to get maximum benefits

out of our time and activity. I certainly know that's my experience

with the consultations I have had with Bill. When I was the top

producer for 5 years at "Books Are Fun," the third largest book

buyer in the U.S., I consulted with Bill on a regular basis whenever

I saw that I was entering into an astrological time that wasn't that

favorable for me in terms of success. Bill would then recommend an

astrological remedy so that I could continue being successful even

in the midst of unfavorable conditions.

 

In Beneath a Vedic Sun, we get many tips on finding a job that is

suitable to our disposition (according to the Vedic astrology

assessment guidance given in the book). We also learn a few neat

things about how to get along with others (in and out of work). I

really enjoyed taking the Ayurvedic quiz in his book to see what my

body type was. I'm a self-directed pitta who sees possibilities and

takes quick action!

 

To top it off, Bill even tells us how to use the principles of

Vastu, India's science of space (a relative of Feng Shui) to arrange

our office area for maximum effectiveness at work - even to the

point of giving a diagram which tells how to lay out our desk top in

accordance with the right energies of nature. How wonderful is that?!

 

You know nothing about astrology? No problem! Bill has also tried to

make his new book accessible for readers who are and are not

familiar with astrology. I would say that more than half to three

quarters of the book can be read and be very useful without having

any experience with astrology. However, if you are a student of

astrology, Vedic (Eastern) or Western, this book really goes into

some new stuff about what career types are indicated by the various

astrological factors.

 

For knowledge hounds, the amount of wisdom in this book is really

amazing, reflecting Bill's many years experience as a Vedic

Astrologer (he's done over 11,000 readings!), meditation teacher,

M.A. educator, and business consultant in the aerospace industry. To

top it off, this item is worth the price of the book alone, you get

a CD enclosed with the book (not a mail-in!) that contains a limited

edition working copy of Parashara's Light Vedic astrology software.

IBM'ers can actually calculate their chart on the screen and look up

the meanings in the book (Mac users can get a version too, for a

nominal fee as listed on the developer's website). Cool!

 

I would say that the simple, clear writing, the light touch of

humor, the wonderful amount of Vedic wisdom given, and the down-to-

earth knowledge derived from two decades of hands-on experience make

Beneath a Vedic Sun the next best thing to having Bill interpret

your chart for you!
