Demystifying The Planets

Have you listened to astrologers say something like "Mars in Aries is aspecting Saturn in Capricorn" and wondered what they are talking about? What are these planets representing, and what do they do, and how can they possibly have an effect on me and my life and the collective human experience?

Graha means "a force that grabs you", and Fundamentals Of Jyotisha Part I: The Nine Grahas (Planets) is the first step in learning how to put together and understand a Vedic Astrology chart. This is a unique course series. I have combined my extensive background as a Vedic Scholar with my knowledge of Jyotisha to provide you with high quality Vedic Astrology training that merges the Vedic Teachings with an understanding of Jyotisha. This first course is not merely an introductory course on the planets. My intention is to provide deep wisdom as to what role each planet plays and how these planetary forces represent different aspects of our own mind and personality and how we carry out actions. As you study these nine forces, you will begin to understand how their influence helps to build your own psychological landscape and create the material world we live in and how we relate to it.

In this Fundamentals of Jyotisha Part I course, you will learn:

  • The history and background of Jyotisha and the Vedic teachings

  • What role Dharma and Karma play in Jyotisha and our lives

  • The difference between Vedic Sidereal and Western Tropical Astrology

  • What role Reincarnation and Kundalini play in Jyotisha

  • The Myth of the Churning of the Milky Ocean and what it teaches us about the Jyotisha chart and our own individual and collective destinies

  • Deep analysis and detailed descriptions of each of the seven Inner Planets and the two Nodes of the Moon

  • Detailed description of the Three Gunas and how they work through the Grahas

  • The Myth of Surya and Shani and how it is reflected in the South Indian Jyotisha chart

  • Which planets are friends and enemies with eachother and why

  • How to interpret retrograde and combust planets in a chart

In this course you will receive:

  • Close to 9 hours of high quality self guided video training

  • 2 FREE bonus videos totaling 4 more hours of self guided video training (Jyotisha: Light of the Spirit Masterclass AND The Field of Dharma and Karma: An Introduction to the Teachings of the Bhagavad Gita)
