March 1st, 2019 · 5 Comments · Astrology, Instruction, Science

As I discussed in last month’s article, one of the great uncertainties among devotees of jyotisha is whether Kala Sarpa is a yoga or a dosha.

The weird thing about Ted Bundy, people later reflected, was that he never looked the same from one photograph to another.
