Profoundly life changing, July 2, 2001
This review is from: God the Astrologer: Soul, Karma, and Reincarnation--How We Continually Create Our Own Destiny (Paperback)
Beryle Chambers (aka Bhavani Devi) - Poet - Vancouver Canada says: This is a fascinating book that describes a lovingly interactive cosmology in which the Divine acts through special agents existing on a higher level to influence and assist the spiritual evolution of all souls on this plane. Karma then becomes a learning tool rather than a punishment and new ways of perceiving and responding to our personal "life blueprint" are taught. I found the section about how one's Vedic birth chart predicts body type and characteristics particularly interesting. The book is extremely accessible. While clearly an expert in his field, the author was never pretentious or boring. In fact, he was able to convey all information in a conversational, kind and humorous tone. Additionally, his metaphysical poetry was amazing. As a poet myself, I appreciated and was inspired by the beauty and power in the poems that opened each chapter. I'll be giving this book to my most beloved friends.

A rare and brilliant perception of life and astrology., March 27, 2001
This review is from: God the Astrologer: Soul, Karma, and Reincarnation--How We Continually Create Our Own Destiny (Paperback)
Finally! A book that lays down the foundations of Vedic astrology! Jeffrey Armstrong has poured forth a fountain of extensive knowledge, bridging history, philosophy, medicine, science and religion-pulling together the threads of life's most timeless questions, until the resulting cultural tapestry becomes a clear picture of astrology as it was originally intended to be seen. Without this rich history and detailed account of it's relationship to the Vedic perception of the soul, life purpose, and karma, it is no wonder that astrology in the West has often been met with disappointment or misinterpretation. Truly, "God the Astrologer" is a delightful string of pearls, delivering one delicious insight after another... if you have any interest in astrology (or even just the mechanics of life itself!), please treat yourself to this well written treasure...
