Penny Farrow discusses the ways in which we can begin to understand how the cosmos communicates with us through the symbols represented by the planets, the stars, and their position in the sky. She explains the relationship between Jyotish and Western Astrology with reference to the modern science of Astronomy.
In our conversation we explore the interrelationship between the nakshatras (lunar constellations), the planets, the astrological signs (solar constellations), and the starting point of a chart, called the lagna or ascendant.
Penny practices and teaches Jyotisha full-time having been trained primarily under the expert tutelage of Hart deFouw. She is also a teacher and tutor for the American College of Vedic Astrology.
