01 · Course overview
About Astrology Foundations
Vedic astrology is a language, and like any language it is easiest to learn in the order it was built. This course starts with the zodiac, the planets and the houses, then shows how they come together in a single birth chart.
Each module adds one layer: the Ascendant that anchors the chart, the Nakshatras that give the Moon its depth, the relationships and strengths that decide how a planet behaves, and the first principles of timing. By the end you will read a basic horoscope with a clear, repeatable method rather than a list of memorised meanings.
It is the foundation every other course here builds on, taught as a traditional, interpretive practice.
