Vedic Astrology – Complete Foundation Course

This comprehensive Vedic Astrology course is designed to help you build a strong conceptual foundation for understanding and interpreting a birth chart. Starting from the fundamentals, the course gradually takes you through the Lagna, the four divisions of life, astronomy, the ecliptic, planets, houses, zodiac signs, Nakshatras, planetary relationships, elements, Yogas, conjunctions, retrograde planets, Manglik Dosha, and Panch Mahapurush Yogas. You will learn the individual nature and significations of the nine major planetary influences, including the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. The course explores how planets express themselves through different signs and houses and how their strength, relationships, lordship, elements and surrounding planetary influences can modify their results. A major focus of the course is learning to think beyond isolated planetary rules. You will understand concepts such as permanent and temporary planetary friendships, exaltation and debilitation, Mooltrikona, dispositorship, functional benefic and malefic planets, planetary conjunctions, Yogas and other important principles used in horoscope interpretation. The course also introduces practical areas of Vedic Astrology such as understanding family relationships through planetary significations, analysing wealth-related Yogas, applying prediction techniques, and evaluating Manglik Dosha and Panch Mahapurush Yogas. Rather than encouraging mechanical predictions based on a single placement, this course teaches you to look at the complete horoscope and the interaction between planets, signs, houses and their surrounding environment. By the end of the course, you will have a structured understanding of the fundamental building blocks of Vedic Astrology and a framework for beginning your own horoscope analysis and further advanced study.
