Jyotish is a remarkably powerful tool for interpreting a birth chart.
But a Vedic birth chart contains so much information that sometimes it can be
down-right overwhelming.
Well, look no further.
This series offers sequential, bite-size lessons on how to interpret a Vedic
chart. Each sub-series will center around a given aspect of life.
It's designed with the assumption that you already have a basic knowledge of
Jyotish and understand the meaning of the planets, houses, signs, nakshatras,
etc. as well as other basics needed to analyze a chart such as aspects, yogas,
use of harmonic charts, dasas, etc.
When English words exist for a particular concept, I'll use them instead of
Sanskrit. Sanskrit is an amazing language and has its advantages, but many of
you are Westerners and it will be easier for you to understand this way. (If
this is a problem for you, please do let me know.)
Note: Many thanks to Pundit Mahesh Shastriji for inviting me to present
some Jyotish lessons to you.
First Up: Financial Astrology
Given what's going on in the world, Pundit Mahesh Shastriji and I decided it
would be good to start with the area of financial astrology.
You will learn:
- What the financial indicators are in an
individual's chart
- How to interpret and translate them into
meaningful and useful information
- How to spot both opportunities and challenges
- How to take best advantage of both
What This Tutorial Covers
Here's an outline of the topics I plan to cover and the order I expect to
cover them in, although I'm sure I'll adjust it as I go.
Each topic will be a separate article (approximately).

if they fit in.
