About Aswin Subramanyan
Aswin Subramanyan, an astrologer from India, has a foundation in Vedic astrology, but he developed a keen interest in Hellenistic and medieval astrology, and his practice is a blend of all three traditional forms. He was equally impressed by the psychological and evolutionary-oriented approach of the evolutionary astrologers. Aswin is extremely focused on bridging the gap between the Eastern and medieval Persian/European forms of astrology. His book on the Persian time-lord technique, Firdaria: Periods of Life, was published in March 2021. He is currently writing his next book about annual predictive methods, which will bring together the works of the Greeks, Persians and Indians and provide a practical framework to use these works in practice.
In addition to being an astrologer, writer, and publisher, Aswin works in an investment bank. He has a double masters degree in Finance and Labour Management and is interested in the global economy and finance. When not practicing astrology, Aswin enjoys playing south Indian classical music on his electric guitar. He is also a perennial student of Vedantic philosophy and Greek philosophy. He believes that the way of life was written years ago, and we just have different lenses to view the same thing in different ways at different times. Aswins philosophy towards life is to live and let live! To know more, you can always get in touch by visiting www.theabverdict.com.

Acknowledgments
From Aswin Subramanyan
Hailing from a family of astrologers whose lineage goes back at least 250 years, it would be safe to say that astrology in me is basically due to great genes. I didnt find astrology, but astrology found its way inside me through my maternal blood as most of my maternal family members are exposed to some form of astrology and divination. With a foundation in Vedic astrology, I also took a keen interest in Hellenistic and medieval astrologies. Evolutionary astrology rang the bell in my brain through Steven Forrests The Inner Sky and other wonderful lectures on the Facebook forum Evolutionary Astrology (EA) Zoom Meetings. The psychological insights and soulful talks in some meetings inspired me, and this was one of the forums where I was introduced to the work of my dear friend, Tara Aal. Im eternally grateful to Tara for having faith in me. I am so glad I found her work through the wonderful Infinity Astrological Magazine published by Smiljana Gavran
