Dear Friend,
When we learn that a nakṣatra is associated with a particular deity, it’s easy to remember the association and move on. But what does that deity do in the Ṛgveda or other Vedic texts? That understanding will change what we look for when the nakṣatra is prominent in a chart?
These inquisitive explorations and questions shaped the way I teach my Diploma in Indian Astrology. We begin with the philosophical and Vedic foundations of Jyotiṣa, and we return to them as we study the sidereal zodiac, planets, signs, and nakṣatras. Over the course of one year, we bring those principles together in chart reading. We explore what the chart promises, how that promise might take shape in someone’s life, and when it is likely to manifest.
