 Not what I expected...but What a Great Book! February 2, 2002
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I bought this book with the thought this would explore Christianity and Astrology. It doesn't.
But I spent the money so I read it. Mr. Armstrong approaches astrology, or should I say sidereal astrology, in this book in a rather interesting manner. He begins by giving a long and drawn out background on himself and where he is coming from that you get caught up in his tale. Then he introduces vedic astrology in a manner not so complex and as foriegn as the average western astrologer might think it is.
I came away with a greater respect for sidereal astrology, not seeing it as so much of a competitor of tropical astrology but as a companion. Scratch that...as a foundation for where we have came from and where we are today.

Beryle Chambers (aka Bhavani Devi) - Poet - Vancouver Canada says: This is a fascinating book that describes a lovingly interactive cosmology in which the Divine acts through special agents existing on a higher level to influence and assist the spiritual evolution of all souls on this plane. Karma then becomes a learning tool rather than a punishment and new ways of perceiving and responding to our personal "life blueprint" are taught. I found the section about how one's Vedic birth chart predicts body type and characteristics particularly interesting. The book is extremely accessible. While clearly an expert in his field, the author was never pretentious or boring. In fact, he was able to convey all information in a conversational, kind and humorous tone. Additionally, his metaphysical poetry was amazing. As a poet myself, I appreciated and was inspired by the beauty and power in the poems that opened each chapter. I'll be giving this book to my most beloved friends.

God The Astrologer: Soul, Karma And Reincarnation reveals the interconnections between various disciplines and areas of knowledge with respect to the art and science of astrology. Author Jeffrey Armstrong challenges current Western astrological approaches in favor of ancient Vedic astrology, reinforcing the links between religion, science, destiny, and free will. God The Astrologer is a reader friendly, informative, and highly recommended addition to the growing body of astrological literature and inquiry offering students of astrology and metaphysics a superb perspective on modern science and a great cultural tradition of enormous antiquity.

Incredible! I've read it twice so far - I couldn't put the book down!
A rare and brilliant perception of life and astrology. March 27, 2001
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Finally! A book that lays down the foundations of Vedic astrology! Jeffrey Armstrong has poured forth a fountain of extensive knowledge, bridging history, philosophy, medicine, science and religion-pulling together the threads of life's most timeless questions, until the resulting cultural tapestry becomes a clear picture of astrology as it was originally intended to be seen. Without this rich history and detailed account of it's relationship to the Vedic perception of the soul, life purpose, and karma, it is no wonder that astrology in the West has often been met with disappointment or misinterpretation. Truly, "God the Astrologer" is a delightful string of pearls, delivering one delicious insight after another... if you have any interest in astrology (or even just the mechanics of life itself!), please treat yourself to this well written treasure...
