Have you been looking for a thorough introduction to Vedic Astrology that will quickly give you a solid foundation of this ancient system of prediction without spending years studying it?
This course is designed for you.
This is the go-to course for those who have been wanting to learn how to apply the basics of Jyotisha / Vedic Astrology to either enrich their lives or to understand and serve their clients better. This class will serve as a comprehensive introduction for those who have simply been wanting to learn some of the secrets of this ancient science. While Jyotisha is a vast and beautiful science that can take a lifetime to master, there are many parts that can easily be learned to enhance other Vedāngas / limbs of the Vedas, such as Āyurveda, Yoga, etc. or simply to enrich one’s life. This is what I will share with you!
In this course you will learn how to:
Gain invaluable insight into a client, yourself, or anyone else
Understand one’s physical constitution - know what types of illnesses they are most prone to experience
Give targeted recommendations to help facilitate healing and bring balance - such as foods, lifestyle, and herbs
Tell when life will be easier, when it will be more difficult, and the exact dates these changes occur
How to balance life’s most challenging phases and how to maximize the easeful ones
Easily see where one’s soul purpose is in life
What life’s current themes are and when they will change
Dramatically increase your ability to give good counsel

Quickly find and understand powerful planetary combinations for success, money, and more!
and much more
Every session will have homework and reading assignments to further engage you as a student and help you to easily absorb the week’s subject.
