Benefits of Vedic Astrology
Self-Understanding
Personal Insights: A Vedic astrology session provides a detailed analysis of your birth chart, which is a unique map of the heavens at the moment of your birth. This analysis reveals your inherent personality traits, emotional tendencies, and behavioral patterns. By understanding your strengths, such as resilience or creativity, and weaknesses, like impatience or self-doubt, you can make informed choices that align with your true self.
Life Guidance
Tailored Advice: During a session, an astrologer interprets your chart to offer personalized guidance on crucial life decisions. Whether you are contemplating a career change, navigating relationship dynamics, or addressing health concerns, the insights gained can help you make choices that resonate with your most authentic self, leading to more harmonious outcomes.
Timing
Auspicious Timing (Muhurta): Vedic astrology emphasizes the significance of timing in decision-making. By identifying auspicious moments for important events—like starting a new job, launching a project, or entering a relationship—you can enhance the likelihood of positive outcomes. Understanding these cosmic cycles allows you to plan your actions in alignment with the universe's energies.
Spiritual Growth
Connection to Spiritual Path: A Vedic astrology session can deepen your understanding of your spiritual journey and life purpose. By exploring karmic lessons and spiritual influences indicated in your chart, you can gain clarity on your path and how to navigate challenges. This connection fosters personal growth and encourages you to align your actions with your higher self and spiritual goals.

Vedic Astrology & Indian Music
Nāda Nakṣatra Upāsana:
Nāda Nakṣatra Upāsana,is a practice that links Vedic Astrology and Indian Music. It arises from the Temples of Tamil Nadu in South India.
Nāda = Sound
Nakṣatra = Constellation
Upāsana = Practice
Each of the 27 nakṣatras or lunar constellations are aligned with an Indian rāga, a scale or a song that creates a specific emotional response in the listener. You can work the song or scale that is best suited for you based on your natal birth chart.
The Sufi mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan used this upāya, as did Rukmini Devi from Kalakshetra School in Madras, Tamil Nadu.
Sarod maestro K. Sridhar has been sharing this technique with Allison since 2010. He descends from 14 generations of temple musicians and 20 generations of Jyotiși's . His mother was a famous Brahmin singer in the temples and Sridhar's lineage is the Brīhadīśvara Temple of Thanjur, connected to Mannargudi Raja Gopala Śastri and Tyagaraja, the Father of Carnatic Music. Sridhar learned directly from the Senior Dagar Brothers, Ali Akbar Khan, and Ravi Shankar.
Allison's long-time interest in the spiritual philosophies that underpin the physical and mental exercises associated with yoga has served her well in grasping how sound/ tone can be a spiritual tool.
