What Master Li Wen tells you
- Jyotish means science of light; in India many weddings are still set by comparing the couple's charts, and a newborn's horoscope is cast within hours.
- The 27 nakshatras are the Moon's wives in myth; the moon spends one night with each and so completes its month.
- Indian samudrika shastra treatises read the whole body, not just the hand: the shape of the ear or the foot also counts.
- Buddha statues with a wheel on the palm are said to reflect a mark Indian tradition considers highly fortunate.
- The 27 nakshatras or 'lunar mansions' divide the Moon's path into stretches of 13 degrees and 20 minutes, one per day of the lunar month.
