Vedic astrology, called Jyotish, is the traditional astrology of India and an integral part of the greater system of yogic knowledge. While similar to Western astrology in using planets, signs, houses and aspects, it calculates these differently and has many unique factors of its own, extending to an intricate system of subtle interpretations. Vedic astrology is a comprehensive system of life-guidance, containing accurate methods for examining all aspects of life from health to enlightenment. It has a special accuracy for the prediction of events and for guidance how to live in harmony with the conscious universe, seeing how events on earth mirror cosmic energies. No previous background in Vedic Astrology is required. The course starts at a beginning level but goes into depth into its subject. Learn how the stars and planets live within us and how we can work with them as friends to transform our lives.
