Click here Dear Starman, The first days of spring are upon us and I’m looking forward to a fresh, new season of continued progress at ACVA Online. We’ve begun developing the college’s strategic plan for 2010 and beyond. Our board of directors and steering committee, faculty, and staff have conducted many brainstorming events and visioning sessions. We are all striving to find ways to make ACVA Online even better and educationally more robust in the seasons ahead. This spring, our managing Steering Committee team poured over all the feedback and ideas given to us in the last few months. This input has helped us identify specific goals and initiatives for ACVA's new future as primarily an online school of Vedic education. The ACVA Online operating members met several times during the winter with board members and senior ACVA Online supporters. As a result we have produced a first draft of ACVA's goals, policies and procedures for 2010 and beyond. We expect to finalize the plan before the start of the Summer season.Read Complete Letter Vedic Astrology.org/donations.htmlCall 928-282-2857 from 10:AM to 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time April Webinar:Gary GomesSaturdayApril 10, 20102PM, EDT"The Use of Karakas in Chart interpretation" - 90 minutesLive Webinar - $49.95Using the Chara karakas (significators) in standard chart interpretation and using Rasi aspects as well will expand your chart interpretation flexibility and also allows you to examine the chart with more depth.

How To Provide a Positive ConsultationHaving accurate knowledge of astrological information is the foundation of a competent astrologer. In the Brihat Samhita Vol. I, Chapter II "Cannons for Astrologer", Varahamihira narrates at length about the abilities of a well versed astrologer, broadening the scope beyond the understanding of the constellations, planets and houses.Varahamihira breaks down these attributes in the following way: qualifications, virtues, astronomical calculations, measurements of time, science of astrology, understanding of sacred texts and words of power. For the purposes of this article we will look more closely at the "qualifications and virtues" of an astrologer as these factors managed and developed correctly will aid the astrologer in building a strong character and consulting practice.Over the course of my study at ACVA, I've heard different students asking the same question: "How do we create a positive atomosphere and empower our clients even in dire circumstances?"Read Complete Article This faculty member is an internationally recognized astrological consultant, lecturer, and teacher specializing in both Western and Indian astrology.

I don't believe in astrology."Sri Yukteswar: "It is never a question of belief; the only scientific attitude one can take on any subject is whether it is true. The law of gravitation worked as efficiently before Newton as after him. The cosmos would be fairly chaotic if its laws could not operate without the sanction of human belief."Questions for the EditorDear Readers, Students and Friends,We hope you are enjoying the ACVA News.
