The Course
The 27 nakshatras are a very unique and fascinating component of the astrology of ancient India, and a very popular one today. The meaning, symbolism and mythology associated with them can add great color and depth to birth chart interpretation.
Whereas there are many good books and courses that provide excellent, even exhaustive, information about the meaning, symbolism and mythology of the nakshatras, surprisingly few provide illustrations of how the themes associated with a particular nakshatra manifested in the life of an individual based on their birth chart.
Course Description
This self-study course consists of individual lessons on the first nine nakshatras, Ashwini through Ashlesha. With each lesson, students receive a PDF file of a chapter from my book, The Nakshatras Illustrated, Volume One, that gives all the essential information about that nakshatra, along with all the example horoscopes used to illustrate its themes.
Students can then view a recording of a webinar conducted on that nakshatra. From these webinars, students not only learn about the nakshatras and see them illustrated, but also learn many other aspects of birth chart interpretation as a result of the more general discussion of the example horoscopes.
- In total students receive 211 pages of written instructional material
- 14 hours of video instruction
