Since the majority of ACVA Journal readers are beginners or early intermediate level students of Jyotish, we prefer articles clarifying, in plain English, the significance of the yogas, the role of the navamsa and other harmonic charts, and briefly introducing astakavarga, muhurta, nadi astrology, Jaimini, palmistry, omens, and other important ideas, techniques and systems that many Western students are still confused about. Since perhaps the most important service a Vedic astrologer can provide is advice about how to offset perceived negativities in the chart, we would like to regularly feature articles about the upayes. We are particularly looking for ways to integrate the Hindu upayes with Western culture, or ways to create our own more culturally appropriate remedial measures.
Theory is useless without practical illustrations.
Please send your experiences, musings, and breakthrough revelations. We are also very interested in case studies. We do ask that any time you send us chart data, let us know the birth data source. We will be using the Lois Rodden Data Classification System to help sort reliable from speculative birth data. ACVA actively promotes systematic research into Vedic astrological principles.
