BOOK 1 IN THE JOURNEY SERIES
Your Soul's Journey
Jyotiṣa Fundamentals
Your birth was not an accident—the moment you entered this world was marked by a cosmic map, a blueprint reflecting your soul’s journey in this lifetime.
Understanding the Cosmos, Your Birth, and Your Path
Your Soul’s Journey is an exploration of Jyotiṣa as a tool for self-understanding rather than mere prediction. This book lays a strong foundation for understanding the astronomical and astrological principles behind a birth chart, unveiling the deeper meanings hidden in the Zodiac Signs, Houses, and Planets.
Inside This Book, You Will Discover:
Why you were born at this exact time and place—and what it reveals about your soul’s path.
How the cosmos shapes your experiences, relationships, and inner world.
The interconnected meaning of the Zodiac, Planets, and Houses—and how they reflect your life.
How to move beyond predictions and use Jyotiṣa as a guide to deeper self-awareness.
A Foundation for Lifelong Exploration
Jyotiṣa is vast, and this book serves as your starting point—giving you the knowledge to read and interpret the celestial patterns influencing your life. It teaches you not just how to see the sky, but how to see yourself within it.
Praise
With ‘Your Soul’s Journey,’ Vijayalakshmi has crafted a masterpiece imbued with deeply embodied wisdom that goes beyond traditional and modern Vedic Astrology texts. The final chapter ties everything together with perfection, leaving readers intellectually nourished and filled with a profound sense of meaning, hope, and purpose. I wholeheartedly recommend ‘Your Soul’s Journey’ and eagerly anticipate the rest of the series. Congratulations to Viji on this remarkable achievement!
-Juliana Swanson, Author, Provost and Academic Dean of, American College of Vedic Astrology
Viji takes us through in-depth discussion of planets, signs and houses, always from the perspective of the most ancient, timeless and time-proven ideology, which for the student and/or practitioner of Vedic astrology translates into a more grounded, effective, and traditionally informed astrology practice. I consider this work essential for any serious student of the Vedas and Vedic astrology, including those astrologers who may consider themselves "seasoned." ‘Your Soul’s Journey is a valuable contribution to the literature of Vedic astrology; highest gratitude to the author.
-Michael A. Sugarman, Author, Vedic Astrologer
Only one who has gone through the struggles of learning such a complex subject and mastered it can write a book like this. Your Soul’s Journey presents intricate themes as a story, with a flow of complex concepts presented in the simplest form. Viji’s approach to ‘Your Soul’s Journey’ is not only unique, but it focuses on a journey that you can make your own. This is the reason why ‘Your Soul’s Journey’ is a must-have. I wish Vijayalakshmi success beyond imagination.
-Souvik Dutta, Vedic Astrologer, Director of the Ancient Indian Astrology Courses
The new student would ever be grateful to Vijaylakshmi that she started learning Jyotish from her book 'Your Soul's Journey'.
She has explained all the points very clearly and in an unhurried way, with a very maternal attitude. Her insight into many things, at least her take on them, was new to me too. To imbibe the essence of the pillars of Jyotisha the student should re-re-read it.
