Karma Astrology

Karma astrology is a branch of astrology that incorporates the concept of karma from Eastern philosophies, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism. It posits that an individual's astrological chart can reveal not only their present life circumstances but also the karmic influences from past lives that shape their current experiences and future potential. The term "karma" translates to גמול (gemul) in Hebrew, Karma in Spanish, and Karma in German, reflecting the universal understanding of the concept. Practitioners of karma astrology often use traditional astrological techniques, such as analyzing birth charts and planetary movements, but interpret them through the lens of karmic principles. This approach aims to provide insights into the soul's evolutionary journey, highlighting lessons to be learned, challenges to be overcome, and opportunities for spiritual growth. Key figures in the development of karma astrology include Western astrologers who have integrated Eastern spiritual concepts into their practice, such as Robert Hand and Steven Forrest.
