That's the word, Mark, and I used to believe it. But after studying the translations of Project Hindshight (Robert Schmidt) and Arhat (Rob Hand), it's obvious (to me and many others) that those old Vedic astrological texts are poor translations of Hellenistic and Arabic texts. Except for the nakshatras and Nadi texts. Their origin seems to be from deepest, ancient India. The Vedas themselves were inspired, however, but not horoscopic astrology. >I think one of the greatest things that could happen in the near future, is >to move 'Astrology' towards a really true and functioning, modern science of >Astrology. I'll agree to that. Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
