The book is best understood as a modern synthesis of Buddhism and Western astrology. While astrology has historically existed in many Buddhist cultures, mainstream Buddhist teachings focus primarily on ethics, meditation, wisdom, and liberation from suffering rather than on astrological systems. Therefore, the ideas in this book represent the authors' interpretation and integration of the two traditions rather than a universally accepted Buddhist doctrine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 21.3pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eWho Might Enjoy This Book?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 21.3pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eStudents of Buddhism interested in astrology \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 21.3pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eAstrologers seeking a spiritual or philosophical framework \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 21.3pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eReaders interested in karma, psychology, and self-development \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 21.3pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003ePeople curious about the relationship between spirituality and astrology \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 21.3pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eThe book is generally more philosophical and reflective than predictive, emphasizing self-awareness and compassionate living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jhampa Shaneman Jan V.
