About the Jyotish Shastra Course
Jyotish Shastra is the traditional Indian discipline commonly associated with Vedic astrology. It uses concepts such as the twelve Rashis, nine traditional Grahas, twelve Bhavas, Nakshatras, Lagna, and planetary periods to interpret a birth chart. Traditional study also includes Panchanga, time-related concepts, and different branches of Jyotish.
This course introduces learners to essential terminology and foundational horoscope-reading methods. Practical exercises help students recognize planetary placements, understand basic chart relationships, and explore introductory Dasha and transit concepts. The programme presents astrology as a traditional interpretive practice rather than a scientifically established method for predicting events or outcomes.
