MASTERCLASS
Vedic Astrology:
The Science of Light and Life Counseling
The study of Jyotish, known as the science of light, helps us understand how patterns in the cosmos give insight to other patterns that we may find in our day-to-day experiences.
By learning about and understanding these patterns, we can gain insights to optimize our life. We will systematically review astronomical sciences, how they connect to astrological principles, and how those combinations give insight into life.
Vedic sciences are designed to enable us to live our best life. Ayurveda addresses our physical, mental and spiritual wellness through understanding our unique combinations of elements, doshas and gunas. Similarly, Jyotish gives us insight to the material phases of our life like family, career, relationships, financial well-being, and dwellings through the patterns found in the cosmos.

Lesson Plan
The subject of this course will be natal astrology, which assesses the patterns in the cosmos at the time of one’s birth. In order to get to a place where we can do a basic assessment, we will review the building blocks of Jyotish, which include signs, planets, houses, asterisms, and the combinations they create. We will conclude the course by rooting you in the fundamentals of Jyotish as measured by a basic assessment, so you can advance your study in Jyotish and deepen your knowledge from here.
