The Serpent and the Dragon Decoding the Sacred Astrology of India, China, and the Far East - Chapter II

You have unmasked the historical error of the Western Zodiac. Now, prepare for a philosophical rupture.

Book 2 takes you from the fixed, psychological portrait of the West (Babylon and Rome) to the dynamic, karmic ledger of the East (India and China). If you confidently identify as an Aries, this volume reveals you may be a Taurus, and that radical shift is only the beginning.

Discover the celestial traditions that ask "What is my purpose?" and "What karma have I brought?" , rather than simply "Who am I?". This is where the study of the cosmos becomes the study of the soul.

• The Sidereal Shift: Understand why the actual constellations (the sidereal Zodiac) require you to recalculate your chart and why the Moon is considered the single most important factor for emotional stability and destiny in Jyotish.
• The Lunar Architect: Unlock the 27 Nakshatras (Lunar Mansions), the precise, 3,000-year-old Indian system that details your character and life path with a complexity the 12 signs cannot capture.
• Elemental Destiny: Master the Chinese Bāzī (Four Pillars), learning how you are an energetic configuration of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, whose goal is achieving dynamic balance, not fixed self-expression.

We challenge the premise of the entire modern system:

"Your birth chart isn't just a personality profile, it's a karmic ledger, showing the consequences of actions from past lives and the spiritual work required in this life."

For Whom is this Definitive Work Destined?

• The serious scholar who seeks to integrate the concepts of karma, dharma, and destiny into their understanding of celestial influence.
• The student of Eastern philosophy who requires an authoritative, non-mystical text on the history and mechanics of Jyotish and Chinese cosmology.
• The dedicated truth-seeker ready to accept that their current sign and purpose may be entirely different when viewed through the sidereal and lunar lens.

The Grand Transition: Into the Forgotten World

You have mastered the West and understood the East. Now, prepare to journey beyond the known borders of civilization.

The third and final volume awaits: Stars of the Forgotten World: The Indigenous & Mystical Calendars That Predate East and West.

In the final volume, you will discover the indigenous astronomical systems of the Americas (Mayan, Aztec), the tribal wisdom of Africa, the omen-based astrology of the Celts, and the shamanic knowledge that connects heaven, earth, and spirit in traditions that preserved what the dominant systems forgot.

The deepest answers lie in the East, but the final wisdom waits in the forgotten traditions.
