Sidereal astrology is not supposed to be a psychic reading; for those who are attracted to that, there are many psychics available in the marketplace. Sidereal astrology is, instead, based upon astro-text (shastra) and intelligence (buddhi), combined with experience. A competent astrologer consults the Vedic texts that he considers the best, applies their rules, and employs his intelligence and judgment in order to make clear communication to his client, in terms of individual analysis.

There are any number of astrological texts (some with rather fancy Sanskrit titles) supposedly created by esteemed seers from lore, but, in Integrated Occult Studies, we emphasize only two of them: The Brihat Parashara Hora (BHP) and the Brihaj-jataka of Varahamihira. Of the two, the Brihaj-jataka is given pride of place, and there are reasons for this.

First of all, BHP is fifty centuries old, i.e., there has been a great deal of time for interpolation to have entered into it, as well as outright change and censorship (parts culled out). Over and above this, there is an excellent English translation available that includes word-for-word transliteration and commentary. That edition is immensely helpful, although it does contain some errors here and there. The various English translations of BHP are a bit suspect, because the transliteration is not presented in them.

To be more specific--and as an example--there are many different systems for determining individual length of life presented in BHP, and every one of them (but one) requires painstaking calculation. After making all of these computations, they produce different results. We could list all of these methods, but doing so at this time would only serve to divert attention from what needs to be conveyed here.

All of them-all of them but one, that is-calculate length of life to an exact number of years, months, and days. The one that does not do this is called vimshottari, and it is very popular. It is probable that you have heard it. Actually, vimshottari (the 120 year cycle) and ashtottari (the 108 year cycle) are, in many respects, almost identical, so they both can be listed under one heading: Vimshottari. We do not know of any Western sidereal astrologers who are using ashtottari at this time, although it is certainly possible some may be employing it. In the vimshottari system, which is very simple, you do not attain a certain length of life after computation. For more on all of this, we invite you to purchase Advanced Primary of Sidereal Astrology from the kalapurusha.com website.

In the Brihaj-jataka, there is no mention whatsoever of the vimshottari method. In one of the commentaries to the text, however, the Bengali author and astrologer reveals that, at the time he was creating his English translation (1912), vimshottari was just beginning to creep into Bengal (the home of sidereal astrology) for the first time. This remark indicates that vimshottari, in all likelihood, may well be a rather recent concoction. It has some some logical base to it-so does Krishnamurti's non-Vedic Padaddhati system-but vimshottari may be primarily employed by most Western sidereal astrologers in order to avoid the cumbersome calculations involved in all of the other systems. For ascertaining length of life, in both BHP and Brihaj-jataka, the mula-dasha method has been delineated; no other system is offered in both of these astro-texts. As such, that is the method employed by Integrated Occult Studies in calculating ayurdaya.

Interview with J.K. Goodwin:

1) BIRTH NAMES AND NAME CHANGES

Your birth time, birthplace, and date of birth are required, and this is the case with all the other services. You obviously retain the option to offer name suggestions, and I shall determine which of them I consider to be the most propitious.

Cost: $14.00

2) ELECTION CALCULATIONS

Include your desired time-frame for the election, and the nature of the initiative. If we cannot find a suitable election time, your charge will only be ten dollars.

Cost: $23.00 per election chart.

3) COMPATIBILITY CHART

Two sets (time, place, date) of birth data must be submitted, of course. Then a lunar compatibility chart will be calculated, including specific interpretations, subdivision comparisons, and explanation of the essentials. A special relationship chart--explained according to each person’s solar sign, navamsha, and declination--is also part of this reading.

Cost: $41.00

4) BASIC NATAL CHART

A basic description of your ho-roscope, in terms of the planets, signs, houses, benefics, male-fics, neutral planets, and yogakaraka, (which may or may not be present). Only the prominent yogas will be discussed. Your essence will be described, along with favorable numbers, favorable dates, and favorable colors. Your occupational indicators will be explained astrologically and practically, along with some other fundamentals.

Cost: $45.00

5) DETAILED NATAL CHART

Everything from the basic natal, plus discussion of your prominent aspects. There will be an analysis dashas, along with a description of each of these life phases. Some secondary yogas will be analyzed, and other subtle significators will be discussed.

Cost: $79.00

6) ASTROLOGICAL CERTIFICATION

If you have come to the realization that C.O.R.E. Sidereal Astrology presents a system for becoming skilled in this science at the level of Octave Three, then you can qualify yourself to make it a profession by taking this hard-hitting, concentrated course of instruction. You have to be spiritually and astrologically qualified for this opportunity, however. I only teach prospective students personally at my cabin; not over the phone or by e-mail or snail mail. This means that you must be prepared to rent a nearby motel room or have a camper. You will need a four-wheel drive vehicle, also. You must be a strict vegetarian and free from all intoxicating habits. You must have accepted all the knowledge in this primer; you must more or less know it in terms of the basics. You must at least be a henotheist (being a theist is preferable); I do not wish to instruct witches or warlocks. You must have previously taken advantage of some of the abovementioned services, especially the detailed natal chart, which I have to analyze to see if you can understand.

I am offering this course for Cost: $500.00

Karma and destiny are interconnected, subtle, and pro-found subjects. Experienced wisdom can become spiritually pro-gressive as well, once you realize the key to understanding and acting upon the knowledge of a horoscope. Astrological enligh-tenment entails the extinction of everything that obscures the science of sidereal reality. Desiring to transcend fragmentation in order to see the total picture unites all the particulars in the study of any chart. You want to see it uncolored by your own personal preferences and desires; you want to see it in detail as well as in its own pristine simplicity. Astrological study is meant to elimi-nate vague, aimless, and unclear thinking at their very roots, be-cause this art is not supposed to be some kind of decorative em-bellishment. Master the art of living by mastering the sacred science of sidereal astrology. The subject is complex, but it is only made more so by harboring so many unnecessary complexities in your mind. Self-exploration goes hand-in-hand with the study of the sidereal science; follow a straight line to your objective.
