A Tutorial in Vedic Astrology
As I did with my Tutorial in Western Astrology I decided to organize the Vedic materials already on this website (and add new articles) to help readers to learn Vedic astrology systematically. This tutorial will continue to be expanded upon over time, to become a complete learning course in astrology. Feel free to email me with suggestions and feedback in improving this material.I could not have written these articles, nor progressed in Vedic astrology, without having studied with my Jyotish guru Hart de Fouw. He taught me how to approach a Vedic chart, how to gain deeper understanding, and how to make Jyotish live and breathe. I am eternally grateful to him.
(Important Note: In many cases, clicking on one of the links below will open one of my bimonthly tutorial columns. Feel free to read the entire column or just the article referred to in the title below.)
Please read my essays on "Becoming an Astrologer" -- by clicking here -- and my essay Ending the War between the Astrologers revised in January 2010 in addition to the specific-to-Vedic-Astrology articles below. Also, since I have already created detailed articles in my Western tutorial for the planets and the signs, I will not be duplicating this material in this section.
Please also go to my Vedic book list, where I review the best books in Vedic astrology, and also point out several ways to get free Vedic astrology books (both modern and classics) by clicking here.
