Vedic Astrology for Beginners

Now, let us begin to discover the Vedic study of light - Jyotish.

Everything that exists in the universe exists on many levels. The patterns of the planets revolving around a sun are mirrored in the patterns of atoms and molecules inside of us.

If we want to learn about our inner self, we can read about it in the stars.

And just as a biologist can read the molecules of our DNA, a Vedic Astrologer can read the patterns of the movement of the stars.

It is all one - macrocosm and microcosm.

Our cell DNA tells us the strengths and weaknesses of our body, the stars describe our mind.

Jyotish can give us valuable insights into our individual Karma and help us connect with our true Self by showing us our personal Dharma.

VEDIC ASTROLOGY

Jyotish - the Vedic Science of light - is in essence Vedic Astrology. However it differs from western Astrology in many ways, as will be explained in the webinar.

For anyone studying the Vedic scriptures more deeply, it was traditionally necessary to first study the six Vedangas, the branches of the Vedas that would create the basis on which we can really understand the deeper meaning of the actual Texts:

1. Shiksha, the study of correct pronunciation and phonetics

2. Chandas, the study of rhythm and poetic meters (including its numerology)

3. Vyankarana, the study of grammar

4. Nirukta, the study of meaning of important words

5. Kalpa, the study of rituals and their correct execution

6. Jyotish, the study of light.

The study of light of course refers to the study of the planetary movement, which, in essence, is the movement of light through space, which in essence, is time.

When we study Jyotish, we study the quality of time and its effect on our consciousness. When we study time, we learn to connect deeply with the universal soul and the flow of its energy. We learn to align with nature and the universe.

Ayurveda and Yoga also are based on the alignment with the energies around us, the movement of the sun and moon, but Jyotish takes it even further.

Please listen to the following webinars.

Even though you may not wish to become an Astrologer (Vedic Astrology is a very complex subject that needs to be studied in depths over a few years), to have a basic understanding of this branch of Vedic Science will enable you to understand all of the other parts on a much deeper level. You will see, how everything really is connected and how we are all just a mirror image of the universal forces at work - a microcosmos of the whole universe.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR VEDIC BIRTH CHART THEN YOU CAN DO THE FOLLWING:

- Type "Vedic Birth Chart Calculator" into your search engine and there will be plenty of websites that allow you a free calculation.

- If you have your western chart then you can simply subtract 24 degrees from every planet. The house system is equal in Vedic Astrology so each house matches a sign, so you will have to take this into account as well.

Enjoy the course!
