Vedic Astrology Foundations — 13 Lessons
Learn step by step — from the building blocks of a birth chart to predictive timing.
Astrology becomes much easier to understand when it is learned in the right sequence. This learning path begins with the foundations and gradually moves toward chart interpretation and predictive timing.
The 9 Grahas
Begin with the nine grahas — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. Learn what each represents, its natural karakatwas and how planetary meanings translate into real life.
Start Lesson →
The 12 Houses
Learn what each of the twelve bhavas represents, their natural significations, important house groupings and how houses connect different areas of life.
Start Lesson →
The 12 Rashis
Learn the twelve zodiac signs, their planetary rulers, elements and movable, fixed or dual nature — and understand how a Rashi modifies the expression of a planet or house.
Start Lesson →
Ascendant & Chart Structure
Understand Lagna, why birth time matters, how the Ascendant establishes the twelve-house structure and why planetary lordship changes from one Lagna to another.
Start Lesson →
House Lords & Lordship
Learn how the ruler of each house carries its affairs through the chart, how one planet can rule two houses and how lordship creates connections between different areas of life.
Start Lesson →
Planetary Strength & Dignity
Learn how to assess a planet through own sign, exaltation, debilitation, planetary relationships, combustion, retrogression and other conditions — without confusing strength with favourable results.
Start Lesson →
Aspects, Conjunctions & Sambandha
Learn how planets influence and connect with one another through conjunctions, Graha Drishti, mutual aspects, house lordship, exchanges and other forms of Sambandha.
Start Lesson →
Nakshatras
Learn the 27 Nakshatras, their lords, deities, symbols, Shakti and Padas — and understand how Nakshatras refine planetary expression without turning symbolism into literal predictions.
Start Lesson →
Reading the D1 Birth Chart
Learn a structured method for reading the D1 chart by combining Lagna, house lordship, planetary placement, Rashi, dignity, Sambandha, Nakshatra and repeating chart themes.
Start Lesson →
Vimshottari Dasha & Planetary Periods
Learn how the 120-year Vimshottari Dasha cycle works, how Mahadasha, Antardasha and Pratyantardasha activate the natal chart, and how to judge a Dasha lord from its actual role in the horoscope.
Start Lesson →
Divisional Charts
Learn why Jyotish uses Vargas, how divisional charts refine the D1 birth chart, and how D9, D10, D7, D12, D30 and other important charts are used without treating them as independent horoscopes.
Start Lesson →
Transits
Learn how Gochar works in Vedic astrology, how transits are read from Lagna and Moon, how Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu-Ketu create broader timing windows, and how faster planets can refine event timing.
Start Lesson →
Predictive Astrology & Event Timing
Learn how to combine the natal chart, relevant houses, planetary strength, aspects, Sambandha, Nakshatras, divisional charts, Dashas and transits into one disciplined event-timing framework.
Start Lesson →

The Sārathi Approach
Astrology is rarely one placement or one rule.
A Mahadasha does not produce the same result for everyone. A planet in a particular house cannot be interpreted in isolation. A transit does not automatically create an event.
Meaning emerges by examining the birth chart as a whole: planetary placement, house lordship, dignity, nakshatra, associations, divisional charts, running dashas and relevant transits.
The aim of this Knowledge Centre is therefore not simply to give you meanings to memorise. It is to teach you how the pieces fit together.
Your chart is personal
Learn the principles. Then understand how they come together in your own chart.
Sārathi brings together your birth chart, planetary periods and current timing to help you understand the life phase you are moving through.
