NEW BOOK ON Perception in Astrology
COMING IN 2026
The Mūlatrikona Series
Three Articles on the Root of Planetary Strength and Vision in Vedic Astrology
This three part series explores Mūlatrikona, the root trine of planetary essence, and its central role in the doctrine of planetary strength and perception in Vedic astrology.
Included in the series:
-
The Mirror and the Flame: Mūlatrikona, Exaltation, and the Mirror of Perception
Explains the philosophical and geometric foundation of Mūlatrikona and places it within the solar and lunar cross of perception, together with the dynamic between Exaltation and Debilitation.
-
Mūlatrikona, Planetary Friendships, and the Root Trine (Part 2)
Examines each planet in depth and explains how elemental structure works through planetary relationships, as Exaltation dynamics are placed inside the larger doctrine of the Root Trine as the anchor of dignity and meaning.
-
Graha Dṛṣṭi: The Sun’s Twofold Vision and the Structure of Planetary Gaze
Extends the study of Mūlatrikona into the geometry of planetary sight and integrates the Indian and Hellenistic doctrines of aspect and perception through the interplay of Fire and Air.
These essays present a complete study of planetary roots and vision. They explain how the doctrine of Mūlatrikona joins rulership and aspect to the metaphysics of light and opens into a unified vision of cosmic intelligence.
This series presents unpublished original research. It demonstrates that Graha Dṛṣṭi rests on the relation between Mūlatrikona and Exaltation. Mūlatrikona is the root trine of planetary essence, and the Fire Trine gives it its clearest geometric ground. Exaltation provides the second axis through which planetary power receives its perfected charge. In this view, Mūlatrikona provides the root of planetary vision, and Exaltation clarifies the point at which that vision receives its highest directional force. This same structure belongs within the Great Archetypal Cross of Perception and shows that the geometry of vision and the structure of consciousness are one and the same.
The forthcoming book on Rāśi Dṛṣṭi will expand these findings and explain how Rāśi Dṛṣṭi and Graha Dṛṣṭi can be understood as distinct but ontologically compatible doctrines of sight. The Great Archetypal Cross of Perception is central in this context and clarifies how the zodiac itself participates in the act of seeing. The book will build upon the insights established here and extend them to the aspect doctrine preserved in the Jaimini Upadeśa Sūtras, one of the most enigmatic texts in the astrological tradition, whose fragmentary state has made it particularly vulnerable to misunderstanding.

ASTROLOGY BOOK:
ASTROLOGY EXPLAINED -
ANCIENT PRINCIPLES FOR
THE MODERN MIND
I co-authored a book named: Astrology Explained - Ancient Principles for the Modern Mind. (also available in Dutch!)
This volume brings out astrological knowledge from ancient Sanskrit texts and presents it in an accessible and rational manner for the contemporary reader.
Our purpose is to bridge the gap between these two eras and deliver a more profound understanding of notions commonly used in Western astrology, while providing new information.
In this volume, we bring the focus to the signs, planets, houses and aspects. Each element is interwoven with another and the explanations include cross-references to astronomy, psychology and anatomy.
Throughout the pages, technical information is overlaid with personal commentary, derived from extensive astrological study and practice. The tables, graphs and example charts make the astrological journey visually-appealing and easy to follow.
The book is worth reading because it offers more than just a solid foundation in astrology. It helps reveal the vulnerabilities and core challenges within a chart, making it a valuable tool for self-exploration and personal development.

The ancient astrological art and science of India is called Jyotiṣa, one of the six Vedāṅgas, or limbs of the Veda. These disciplines preserve essential knowledge, and among them Jyotiṣa illumines the relation between cosmic movement and human life in time.
It is commonly called Vedic astrology or Hindu astrology, and it is rooted in karma, the principle of action that sustains continuity across time. Karma is commonly described as punishment or reward, although its meaning is far more subtle.
Correction belongs to the intrinsic balance of consciousness itself, outside the image of an external judge. Every choice and every intention plants a seed, and these seeds mature over time inside the circumstances of life and inside awareness itself.
In this sense, we participate in the forces that guide our lives. Reality is co-created in our continual relation with the symbolic currents of time, and karma moves within that rhythm as part of the texture of existence.
Jyotiṣa gives a language for this process and shows that life extends beyond immediate events into a larger symbolic relation, as time brings awareness into closer contact with the real course of life.
Planetary cycles known as Daśās and Solar Returns belong to this language. They help us observe the way symbolic configurations become visible in life, in the meeting between perception and time.
The central thread of my research is Perception in Astrology and its ontology. I have worked extensively with Rāśi Dṛṣṭi, the doctrine of sign based sight preserved in the Jaimini Upadeśa Sūtras, one of the foundational treatises of Vedic Astrology, whose aphorisms use coded Sanskrit. This research opened into a broader investigation of Graha Dṛṣṭi, the doctrine of planetary sight, and into the underlying reasoning behind the structure of planetary vision in the Indian tradition. Rāśi Dṛṣṭi and Graha Dṛṣṭi are the two great Aspect Doctrines used in Vedic Astrology, and my work also brings them into dialogue with the Ptolemaic and Hellenistic Aspect Doctrine. A forthcoming book in 2026 will develop this research in full. My article The Mirror and the Flame: Mūlatrikona, Exaltation, and the Mirror of Perception belongs to this larger study, because it explores Mūlatrikona from the same question of perception and planetary vision.
My work has grown from Jyotiṣa into a broader study of Classical Astrology, with particular attention to Hellenistic Astrology, and it also draws on Archetypal Symbolism and direct work with charts and the questions people bring to them. I have long been drawn to Carl G. Jung, above all to his work on archetypes and the unconscious, together with his reflections on synchronicity. His understanding of symbolic life speaks naturally to astrology. In both Jyotiṣa and Jung’s thought, perception develops through the relation between consciousness and the images that make life visible to itself.
Karma and synchronicity speak through the same sky as two languages of one celestial process. Both disclose the relation between consciousness and time, and both show that perception takes form in the subtle conversation between inner awareness and the cosmos.
This is the ground of my work, because I read symbols as my primary language. The word horoscope comes from hōra, the hour, and skopos, the watcher or observer. It refers to the quality of time at the moment of birth. The horoscope is a reflection of that first imprint, the unique intersection between your consciousness and the larger rhythm of the universe.
A horoscope is a symbolic map rich with signs that reveal the movement of time and awareness within concrete life. My role is to guide you through these intricacies and help draw symbolic sense from your chart. Our work can include the timing of life cycles and the areas in life that ask for clearer awareness through growth or challenge. It can also clarify the subtle conversation between your inner awareness and the broader currents of life.
I sometimes complement this work with elements of Human Design, a system that draws from Astrology and the I Ching as a way to clarify the movement of energy in the individual. My foundation is Jyotiṣa, and practical tools such as Human Design can occasionally add insight into the relation between decision making and embodied awareness.
If you feel drawn to explore your chart through this lens, you are welcome to connect. I approach each reading as a symbolic conversation with life as it is met, with care for the questions and tensions already present in the chart.
