Foundations of Vedic Astrology
Explore the essential building blocks of Jyotish, from the twelve houses to the roles of the grahas and rashis in shaping your chart.
- Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish, interprets how the planets (grahas) express themselves through the zodiac signs (rashis) and the twelve houses.
- Each house reflects a domain of life, from identity and finances to relationships and spirituality, and the planets placed there describe how those themes unfold.
- Learning the language of dignities, aspects, and yogas helps you understand the strengths, challenges, and opportunities promised in your natal chart.

Understanding Planetary Transits
Translate the movement of planets through the zodiac into actionable insights for timing opportunities and navigating changes.
- Transits describe how current planetary movements interact with the placements in your natal chart, activating different life areas.
- Slower-moving planets such as Saturn and Jupiter set long-term themes, while faster planets like the Moon trigger shorter windows of activity.
- Tracking supportive and challenging aspects empowers you to plan launches, conversations, and rest with cosmic timing in mind.
