In Vedic astrology, the associations the planets form or variations of how they are placed in a horoscope are referred to as yogas. Yoga literally means union or that which adds, joins or yokes. Astrologically, Yoga refers to planetary combinations or configurations and their special results, which affect the life of an individual. In traditional Indian ephemeris, known as Panchang, Yoga is also a particular division of time, arrived at by adding longitudes of the Sun and the Moon at birth. These are 27 in number, starting from Viskumbha to Vaidhriti, each governed by a different constellation or lunar-mansion, which are also 27 in number. In spiritual field, the word “Yoga” means training, taming and stimulating the body and mind with universal soul. In Ayurveda, the yoga of two or more medicines gives specific results. Yogas are one of the unique features of Vedic astrology. There are hundreds of yogas mentioned in various classical texts. Most of the yogas are formed of more than one planet, but all combinations do not mean a yoga formation. The idea behind these yogas is to equate the planets’ strength in a chart, and how & when they will produce their effects in a native’s life.

This book bridges this gap between Jyotish and Yoga with very deep understanding of the human body, mind and soul.

In The Lotus and the Stars, the disciplines of yoga and astrology are intertwined to allow practitioners to draw on the energies of the sun signs and the planets through specific yoga postures.

Whatever sun sign is targeted or whichever attribute is needed, this groundbreaking method helps the body become a vehicle for transforming one’s life. The Lotus and the Stars is simple enough for the yoga novice, but even experienced yoga practitioners will find new meaning in standards such as the sun salutation when they see how the intent associated with a posture can enhance the benefit.

To do this, instructions for personalizing workouts - plus modifications for different levels of flexibility, time available, and personal preferences and needs - are included throughout. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of the techniques with true stories of students who have found astro-yoga helpful in their lives. They also suggest ways to use the workouts to handle common situations and problems.
