God the Astrologer: Soul, Karma, and Reincarnation--How We Continually Create Our Own Destiny

You will not find a better introduction to Vedic Astrology. The author doesn't skimp on the substance while making a complex subject accessible to newcomers. What you learn will amaze you!

All hat, no cow. A critical look at the errors of western astrology and why Indian astrology is better, creating a high expectation of how to use it. Lots of information and not a bit of it is useful. Much like his videos.

I purchased this after watching a few of Jeffrey’s videos on YouTube about the gunas and doshas. Similar to his videos, he explains the broad concepts of Hinduism beautifully and in a way especially suited to the western mind.It’s not a nuts and bolts study of Vedic astrology, but it gives an excellent overview for total novices like me.

I bought this book with the thought this would explore Christianity and Astrology. It doesn't.But I spent the money so I read it. Mr. Armstrong approaches astrology, or should I say sidereal astrology, in this book in a rather interesting manner. He begins by giving a long and drawn out background on himself and where he is coming from that you get caught up in his tale. Then he introduces vedic astrology in a manner not so complex and as foriegn as the average western astrologer might think it is.I came away with a greater respect for sidereal astrology, not seeing it as so much of a competitor of tropical astrology but as a companion. Scratch that...as a foundation for where we have came from and where we are today.

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.

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...

I have both studied and taught the major topics of Indian classical thought and have traversed India and East Asia in search for knowledge of the ancients. Yet I have found, as have countless others, that what appears to be forever elusive is a way of organizing the principles and practices of yoga, karma, astrology, medicine, and all the other Vedic arts into one comprehensive and meaningful whole. In Jeffrey Armstrong's book, God the Astrologer, it all comes together. All the apparently disparate branches of knowledge are connected to each other with an elegance and clarity I have never before seen. Armstrong has provided the complete -and practical! - map of the territory so many of us were looking for. I highly recommend this book, not only to scholars of religious thought and philosophy, but to all who search for deeper meaning in their lives. [Steffan Omray]
