Deep Sky Astrology: why it works! Presentation of the book “DeepSky Astrology” by Tanya Boran

“1. Introduction

In the world of astrology, the last few decades have brought incredible changes. Even 15 years ago, one could not have dreamed of such an availability of information on astrology and Jyotish. In the past, to learn a technique, one had to literally “scratch” knowledge from diverse and often disparate sources – translating texts by hints, watching blurry video seminars and meetings. Modern technologies have made information much more accessible, which, paradoxically, can lead to its devaluation. Today, it is not just browsing materials that is valued, but deep engagement with the printed word.

2. History of astrology and more

A. Problems of access to information in the past

When Tatiana was studying Jyotish, she had a very difficult time getting information. She translated each technique by hints, watched blurry video seminars and meetings, and searched for important details through the vagueness and disjointedness of the materials. Information was hardly available in the public domain back then, and every bit of knowledge was valuable.

B. Comparing learning methods: books vs personal experience

On the basis of her own experience, Tatiana noticed that different methods of information perception give different results. For example, watching videos conveys a certain amount of thoughts, but reading books enriches the brain several times more. Using the letter code in books helps the brain to work with ideas more efficiently, bypassing the perception of sounds and visual images.

3. Literature as a tool

A. The influence of books on information perception

Tatiana is convinced that a book, especially a printed book, remains a unique source of knowledge. When reading a book, the number of ideas entering the brain far exceeds the number of ideas received when watching a video. While reading, the brain saves energy on sound, color, and images, focusing solely on ideas.

B. The Importance of the Paper Book for Astrology

A book is a concentration of the author’s ideas without anything extra. The repetition of the same idea in different chapters signifies its importance and an attempt to find the most accurate verbal form to convey it. Conscious and attentive reading of the book allows a deeper understanding of the author’s intentions, forming a clearer perception of the information.

4. The Path to Authorship

A. The Dream of Becoming an Author

Since childhood, Tatiana dreamed of becoming a writer, believing that her life would be lived in vain if she did not become an author and leave a trace in the centuries. The dream of writing determined her path and aspiration for self-realization.

B. First Steps in Astrological Writing

Tatiana did not envision that she would become a writer in the field of astrology and technical literature. Nevertheless, her book, being the embodiment of a dream, became basic and basic in her professional activity, symbolizing the continuation of her childhood dream in her adult life.

5. Deep Sky’s concept of astrology

A. Relationship to Traditional Astrology

Deep Sky astrology extends the traditional methods of Jyotish astrology. While traditional astrology focuses on objects within the solar system, Deep Sky incorporates knowledge of objects outside the solar system. This approach keeps pace with scientific advances and adapts astrology to modern realities.

B. The Influence of Astronomy on Astrological Practices

Tatiana has found many interesting and useful insights at the intersection of astrology and astronomy. She highlights that even people who are deeply interested in astrology are often not sufficiently knowledgeable in the field of astronomy. Using knowledge from astronomy enriches astrological practices by providing new tools and realizations. For example, the term “astronomical” symbolizes deep space and is a source of new techniques and knowledge applied to astrology.”

“6. Deep Sky objects

Deep Sky astrology provides astrologers with enhanced capabilities through the use of data on objects outside the solar system. These objects include stars, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Special attention is paid to fixed stars, of which only 50 are described in the book. These stars are chosen for their brightness and power, and studying a limited number of stars helps to better cement the information into memory. At the same time, the book offers methods for self-study of other stars if needed.

The study of astrological events from the center of the solar system makes Deep Sky an approach that greatly extends traditional methods. Various aspects such as oppositions, upper and lower conjunctions, elongations, and quadratures are examined in detail throughout the book, allowing horoscopes to be constructed from a new perspective. The innovative approach is even included in astro-processor tools that provide support for both traditional and advanced analysis methods.

7. Principles of Deep Sky Astrology

А. Emphasize quality over quantity

The Deep Sky Astrology book focuses on providing proven and accurate information. Rather than rewriting or compiling ancient texts, the author strives to provide only data that has been authenticated through research and practice. The key goal is to give the reader two or three basic techniques that will stay with them throughout their lives. This philosophy is illustrated with examples of using the stars to determine events through various astrological methods, including Dasha’s vimshottari.

Б. Techniques for using the stars

The book contains many unique sections and explanations that the author has carefully selected and vetted. The basic methodology of working with stars is described throughout the book and supported by many case studies. Special attention is given to the study of both fixed stars and various unique aspects of astrology, such as the locations of Deep Sky objects in the tropical Zodiac. The proposed orbits take into account minimal changes in the positions of the stars, giving the most accurate data possible for practical use.

8. In-depth study of planetary phases

А. Phases of Venus and Mercury

One of the novelties of the book is the detailed study of the phases of Venus and Mercury. These planets are found to have the same phases as the Moon. The book offers interpretations of the various phases, including the first quarter, waxing phase, full moon, and waning phase. Detailed examples show how these phases can affect events in the lives of individuals.

Б. Influence of Phases on the Interpretation of Events

The interpretations of the phases of the planets allow for a more detailed analysis of situations and life periods, which is especially useful when using the Dasha vimshottari system. The author also offers insights into the retrograde behavior of the planets, explaining why they behave inadequately in different horoscopes. The book discusses the mechanics of retrograde in detail, from braking and stopping to acceleration, allowing for more accurate predictions.

9. Retrograde planets

А. Mechanics of retrogradation

Retrograde planets often behave unpredictably in horoscopes, and the author offers an in-depth study of this phenomenon. The book explains the mechanisms of retrograde, from the inhibition to the stopping and acceleration of the planet. This aspect offers significant opportunities for detailed forecasting, as planetary retrogrades are associated with periods of illusions and slowdowns in transits.

Б. Influence on life events

The practical use of retrograde planets in Deep Sky astrology allows for more accurate predictions. The author explains how a planet’s changing speed affects events in a person’s life, providing useful tools for analysis. It is important to keep in mind that a planet’s retrograde can have both positive and negative effects depending on the specific context.

10. Modern methods of analysis

А. Connections to the Sun

The book examines four types of planetary conjunctions to the Sun, dividing them into inner and outer planets. Each conjunction is analyzed in terms of its influence on astrological events. This allows a clearer understanding of the subtleties of planetary interactions and the use of this data for in-depth analysis of horoscopes.

Б. Using astrological tables

At the end of the book are lengthy tables of the positions of Deep Sky objects in the tropical Zodiac, taking into account the movement of the stars over long periods. It is important to focus on birth years to make the most of the tables. By comparing data from different decades, more accurate and useful predictions can be obtained by putting knowledge of the positions of the stars into practice.

11. Practical application

А. Horoscopes and unique cases

This book is filled with case studies to help you better learn and practice astrological techniques. The case studies described show how to use data about fixed stars, planetary phases, and retrogrades to make accurate horoscopes and predict events. Practical application of the book’s ideas helps to deepen the study and application of astrological knowledge in real life.

Б. Examples from the lives of famous personalities

The book takes cases from the lives of famous personalities to illustrate how astrological concepts work in practice. These examples help to understand how different astrological elements affect real people and how they can be used to analyze and predict important events in the lives of individuals.

12. Conclusion

А. The importance of observing the sky

Deep Sky astrology emphasizes the need to reconnect with and observe the sky. Ancient astrologers combined astronomy and astrology by observing the stars and planets. Modern astrology is well positioned to revive this approach, allowing horoscopes to be worked with in a more encompassing and engaging way.

Б. Astrology as a living matter and constant research

Astrology is a living practice that requires constant research and updating of data. The book offers modern methods of analysis, continuing the traditions of ancient astrologers and supplementing them with new discoveries. Practical study of new techniques and methods provides an opportunity to constantly develop and improve one’s knowledge of astrology.”
