Primbon

Dunia Mistik dan Supranatural

The zodiac is a twelve-part division of the sky in the neighbourhood of the ecliptic. We can imagine this as a wide band stretched around the celestial sphere, and cut in half by the orbit of the Sun, as shown in the diagram below. In astrology, these twelve parts are called signs. Each of these parts has a size of 30°.

A common misconception is to term the signs as “constellations”. The twelve signs used by the astrologers are not the same as the 88 constellations in observational astronomy. The constellations are by definition a pattern of stars, and their sizes differ greatly. The signs, on the other hand, are pure geometrical constructs. Read the rest of this entry »

According to Javanese traditions, most Indonesians will consult a Primbon expert before undertaking important decisions in their life. Primbon Jawa, or Javanese Horoscope, originates from ancient philosophy based on dates calculations from 35 star orbits: thus days, months and years are equated to distinct values. The present-day Primbon compilation is based on the work of ten books written over the years by Indonesian astrologists.

In Bahasa Indonesia the weekday names are Minggu/Sunday, Senin/Monday, Selasa/Tuesday, Rabu/Wednesday, Kamis/Thursday, Jumat/Friday and Sabtu/Saturday.

There also exist further divisions of the Zodiac. Using perhaps a smart play of geometry, the ecliptic is further divided using a triangle, a square and a hexagon, as shown below:

The signs located on a triangle are connected with the ancient Greek natural elements of fire, earth, air and water. The division according to the squares are the cardinal signs, the fixed signs, and the mutable signs. The geometrical group formed by the inscribed hexagon are either positive or negative signs. The positives signs are supposed to be masculine, while the negative signs are feminine. Read the rest of this entry »

Vedic Palmistry is the study of the structure and markings of the human hand. This ancient art and science began in India about 5,000 years ago. The ancient rishis or seers believed that there was a correlation between the visible features of the hand, the conscious and subconscious thought processes of the mind and the superconscious intuitions of spirit. The study of Vedic palmistry provides a language for expressing this body/mind/soul connection. Its purpose is to help us gain selfunderstanding.
