SELF-LEARNING ON LINE

1. Spiritual = a) Yoga b) Psychology & c) Vedic Symbology = Counseling

This post is just an introduction in chart form to the connection between Chakras (Yoga) and Astrology (1a). The triangular method of learning (mind chakra) and the association by 5 (5 senses) are to illustrate the correspondences between the planets, chakras and ways of gathering knowledge (as covered in earlier posts on History, Memory & Way of Knowing). Later posts will begin to reveal the connection of planets to psychology as well as the metaphoric correspondences of planets to the affairs of life.
