Foundations of Vedic Astrology
Start here — the story and the building blocks
Before you meet the planets in depth, ground yourself: where Jyotish came from, and the building blocks every chart is made of — grahas, nakshatras, the Vedic calendar, rashis, the ascendant, and the houses.
Lessons in this track
The Story of Jyotish
Where it came from — the rishi lineage up to PVR sir.
The Nine Grahas
Planets as celestial bodies — the seven visible ones plus Rahu and Ketu.
The 12 Rashis
The zodiac signs — and why Jyotish uses the sidereal zodiac.
The 27 Nakshatras
The lunar mansions — the Moon's daily journey through the sky.
The Wheel of the Sky
One circle, two grids — the 12 rashis and the 27 nakshatras together.
The Vedic Calendar
The Panchanga — the five limbs of the day, and why it matters to us.
The Ascendant
The lagna — the rising sign, and why time and place matter.
The 12 Bhavas
The houses — the stage on which planets and signs act.
Bhava vs Rashi
The classic beginner mix-up — house (area of life) vs sign (slice of sky).
