Vedic astrology is a complete system, and it rewards being learned in order: first the pieces of the sky, then the conditions that strengthen or weaken them, then the methods that read and time a whole life. This course follows that order across 27 chapters. Chapters publish as they are ready; unlinked titles are coming next.

Foundations

  1. What Vedic Astrology Is

    Jyotish, the sidereal zodiac, and what a birth chart actually records.

  2. The 12 Rashis (Zodiac Signs)

    The twelve signs of the Vedic zodiac and what each one contributes to a chart.

  3. The 9 Planets (Navagraha)

    Sun through Ketu: the nine grahas and what each one signifies.

  4. Lagna (The Ascendant)

    The rising sign, why birth time sets it, and why it anchors the whole chart.

  5. The 12 Houses (Bhavas)

    The twelve life areas of the chart, from self to career to loss and liberation.

  6. The 27 Nakshatras

    The Moon's 27 lunar mansions, your birth star, and the seed of Vedic timing.

  7. Panchanga

    The five limbs of the Vedic day: tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, and karana.

Building Blocks

  1. Exaltation, Debilitation, and Dignity

    Where each planet is strong, where it struggles, and how dignity is graded.

  2. Planetary Friendships

    Which planets are friends, enemies, and neutrals, and why it changes results.

  3. Functional Benefics and Malefics

    How house lordship makes the same planet helpful for one ascendant and hard for another.

  4. Drishti (Planetary Aspects)

    How planets see across the chart, including the special aspects of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

  5. Combustion, Retrograde, and Avasthas

    Planetary conditions: too close to the Sun, moving backward, and the states in between.

Reading & Timing

  1. How to Read a Birth Chart (Kundli)

    Putting signs, planets, and houses together into a first full reading.

  2. Karakas (Significators)

    The planets that naturally signify each life topic, and the Jaimini chara karakas.

  3. Navamsa (The D-9 Chart)

    The one-ninth division: marriage, inner strength, and the second chart every astrologer checks.

  4. Divisional Charts (Vargas)

    The finer charts for career, children, property, and parents, and when to use each.

  5. Vimshottari Dasha

    The 120-year planetary timeline that turns a static chart into a sequence of life chapters.

  6. Transits (Gochar) and Sade Sati

    Where the planets are now, how transits trigger the chart, and Saturn's seven-and-a-half years.

Combinations

  1. Yogas I: Raja, Dhana, and Mahapurusha

    The named planetary combinations for power, wealth, and greatness.

  2. Yogas II and Doshas

    The difficult combinations, what each one actually requires, and how each is cancelled or managed.

  3. Compatibility (Guna Milan)

    The 36-point Ashtakoot system for matching two charts, koota by koota.

  4. Shadbala (Planetary Strength)

    The six-fold strength calculation that ranks the planets in any chart.

  5. Ashtakavarga

    The point system that scores every sign for every planet, built for transit work.

  6. Jaimini: Arudha and Special Lagnas

    The perceived self, karakamsa, and the alternative lagnas of the Jaimini school.

  7. Longevity, Marakas, and Difficult Periods

    How the classics frame hard periods, and how to read them with steadiness.
