“I absolutely love this book. Vish harnesses his scientific background to dispel doubt, giving us permission to trust in the genius of Vedic astrology. In clearly written, beautifully designed pages, this book makes this divine gift of knowledge easy to understand and practical for all. I will be recommending it to all my clients and students!”

– Laura Plumb, Ayurvedic practitioner; yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic astrology teacher; and author of Ayurvedic Cooking for Beginners

“Over the centuries, various aspects of India’s ancient wisdom—yoga, meditation, Vedanta philosophy, Ayurvedic medicine—moved from the fringes of Western society into the mainstream. What was once considered antiquated became seen as rational and practical. Quite possibly, the same will be true of Vedic astrology, which can be remarkably accurate and predictive in the right hands. This astute and sensible book makes a valuable contribution to that process.”

– Philip Goldberg, author of American Veda: From Emerson and the Beatles to Yoga and Meditation: How Indian Spirituality Changed the West

“Astrology Decoded is an excellent guidebook for understanding Vedic astrology and applying it to your life. Together, the planets, houses, and zodiac constellations create a unique sketch of your transpersonal psychology, which you can apply to health, business management, relationships, and vocational guidance. In this book, Vish has seamlessly blended his knowledge of yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic astrology with his own formidable analytical skills. Astrology Decoded is a modern-day take on Vedic counseling that can empower people to transform their lives.”

– Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar, BAMS, MD (Ayurveda), best selling author, motivational speaker, and Ayurvedic physician

“Astrology Decoded is an excellent title for this especially useful primer on Vedic astrology. Chatterji uses his engineer’s mind to adroitly unpack the essential meaning of the enigmatic planets and signs. His explanations are specific, sophisticated, and actionable. Even the cryptic Rahu/Ketu become understandable, given his insightful contemporary treatment. And the quick reference guide is great! As a former Western astrologer, I often use the analogy of Western astrology being like a photograph versus Vedic astrology being like an MRI. This book will help students thoroughly understand these archetypal codes, allowing them to move forward, dipping their toes further into the ocean of Vedic astrology. Highly recommended!

– Professor Charlotte Benson (Jyoti Devi), president of the American College of Vedic Astrology and president emerita of the Arizona Society of Astrologers

“The journey to self-development begins with truly knowing who you are.

Insightful, soulful, and packed with powerful stories that will inspire you and guide you toward unleashing your full potential in both your professional and personal lives.”

– Doy Charnsupharindr, executive coach, leadership educator, and CEO of the Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute

“Vish Chatterji’s brilliant new text, Astrology Decoded, provides the reader with a lucid roadmap to understand the profound astrological system of India. His writings bring this ancient, esoteric framework into a modern Western context, and his chapter on remedial measures provides practical insights for holistic healing. I predict Vish’s profound book will become the cornerstone of any Vedic astrology library!”

– Dennis M. Harness, PhD, counseling psychologist, president emeritus of the American College of Vedic Astrology, and author of The Nakshatras: The Lunar Mansions of Vedic Astrology

“In this accessible and captivating work, Vish Chatterji uses his East-meets-West perspective to take the reader on a truly memorable journey through the cosmos. Astrology Decoded presents Vedic astrology in a manner that balances the basic with the mythic, the historical with the metaphorical, and the practical with the spiritual. Chatterji’s expertise shines through as he makes the case that anyone interested in astrology should take a closer look at India’s science of the stars.”

– Drew Thomases, PhD, chair of the Department for the Study of Religion at San Diego State University, and author of Guest is God: Pilgrimage, Tourism, and Making Paradise in India

“This book does exactly what is says—it decodes astrology! The way Vish communicates the theory, mythology, and archetypes is truly beautiful. I have been taken back in time and now understand the backstory of the planets and the qualities that influence who we are today. I couldn’t put this book down; each chapter left me thirsty for more knowledge about this highly sophisticated zodiac system, even as I journeyed further into my own self-discovery. Vish is a natural teacher, and he is clearly passionate about his subject. He has woven together a rich tapestry of ancient wisdom, storytelling, and deep awareness of Vedic astrology, and he has done what is often impossible—grounded it for the modern world. From my perspective as a master coach, leveraging Vedic astrology is an excellent tool for understanding your true self.”

– Gillian McMichael, ICF Master Certified Coach, founder of Full Circle Global, and author of Coming Home: A Guide to Being Your True Self

“It was a pleasure to read such a masterwork on Vedic astrology. This book emphasizes the importance of the rising sign and explains how Vedic astrology calculations match the observed positions of planets in the sky, unlike Western astrology. Astrology Decoded is an easy read for beginners, explaining planets and signs and how one can attain karmic balance through remedies and rituals. The knowledge presented in this book is instrumental in laying a solid foundation for readers to understand the higher secrets of astrology and to unravel the play of the cosmos in day-to-day life.”
