Reviews
A refreshing new look at an ancient system of astrology. Written with humility, humor and hints of deep insight, this book is a welcome change from other books on Jyotish.
Andrew Mason brings a fresh, new, and serious voice to the current array of books on Vedic astrology.
Andrew gives invaluable advice on the various remedies that can be found in the system to support a more positive experience of life, health, profession, relationships and spiritual journey. This I found to be very unique as most books that I have read in this area tend to present the challenging aspects of how your planets are placed at that time and how you are best to sit and ride the wave until you come to a better junction. It is refreshing to read a new and encouraging view point.
