AN OPEN CONVERSATION ABOUT ASTROLOGY
Before you begin,
hear from your teacher.
Vedansh VallabhFounder, AstroVedansh · Astrologer & Numerologist
Watch on YouTubeYour curiosity belongs here.
Ask questions, understand the meaning and grow through practice.
WHY STUDY ASTROLOGY?
You have heard about astrology. Now study it with understanding.
Have you looked at a birth chart and wondered how its boxes, numbers and planets become an interpretation? Or heard an astrological claim and asked:what is it based on?
That is a good place to begin. Learn what the terms mean, examine the context of each rule and work towards a reading you can explain. Over time, the ideas in a text and their use in a chart begin to connect.
The texts behind the course01
To understand the tradition
Study the ideas through which the astrological tradition approaches temperament, action and time.
02
To develop your own understanding
Learn to consider a planet or combination alongside its house, strength and place in the whole chart.
03
To prepare for deeper study
Build a foundation for reading classical works, studying periods and transits, and eventually learning consultation through experience.
THE VEDANGA TRADITION · PARASHARI STUDY
From a classical text
to understanding in class.
Read the principle. Discuss its meaning.
Then examine its use in a chart.
Jyotisha is counted among the six Vedangas. Calculating the timing of rituals had an important place in that tradition. Reference: IGNCA’s Vedic Heritage Portal ↗
This course introduces the principles of Parashari birth-chart interpretation. The curriculum draws on these reference works:
Phaladeepika
An introduction to the language and basic concepts of classical interpretation.
Practical Vedic Astrology
G. S. Agarwal’s book supports a structured study of the concepts and their connection to examples.
Level of study: selected foundational topics from these references, with accessible explanations and practice for beginners.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

Interested in astrology and willing to make time to learn? You can begin alongside your studies, work or responsibilities at home.

About me
Hi, I'm Vedansh Vallabh.
Astrologer · Numerologist · Founder, AstroVedansh
Namaste. I want you to understand both what an astrological principle means and how to examine it in a chart. My own studies have brought together classical texts, teachers’ guidance and chart practice. That is the approach we will follow in this course.
- FORMAL STUDY
- ICAS · Jyotish Praveen & Jyotish Visharad
- AREAS OF STUDY
- Vedic Astrology · Nadi · KP · Numerology
I invite you to approach this course in the same way. We will work through principles in plain language, examine examples and discuss the reasoning behind your interpretation. Your questions will be an essential part of the study.
“We don't sell fear.Explore what you'll learn
We offer clarity.”

A DISCIPLINED WAY TO READ
An interpretation
you can explain.
Start with a definition, examine the planet’s position, then consider the whole chart. Learn to connect these observations and explain your reasoning.
- 01PlanetWhat is its nature?
- 02SignHow does it express itself?
- 03HouseWhich area of life?
- 04RulershipWhich houses does it rule?
- 05ConnectionsWhich planets is it connected to?
The study process: principle → observation → interpretation → written practice.
HOW WE WILL STUDY IN CLASS
Take what you have read
to an actual chart.
After studying a classical principle, we will pause over examples. Explain what you noticed, which rule you applied and where you became unsure. These discussions help turn an idea from a book into something you understand for yourself.
“How did you arrive at that interpretation?”
Learn to make the basis of your reading clear.
Two classes of 2 hours each week. Continue the practice between classes with notes, revision and homework.

Deeper personal study
Read classical works with greater understanding, keep your own study notes and go further into periods, transits and other subjects.
Future astrology consultations
After advanced study and sufficient guided practice, work towards independent consultations within the limits of your competence.
Writing, content and teaching
As your understanding and experience grow, explain the subject responsibly through articles, videos or workshops.
Case studies and study groups
Document chart observations, compare interpretations and examine both agreements and differences.
In this course: foundations and basic D1 interpretation. Afterwards: advanced study, guided practice and experience in your chosen area.
HOW MUCH COULD YOU EARN?
Build competence.
Then put a value on your work.
If you would like to offer paid consultations in the future, invest time in sound study and responsible practice now. Advanced learning and guided case practice after this foundation can prepare you for that direction.
Income will depend on your preparation, communication, chosen fee and the number of paying clients. Whether you begin alongside your work or later devote more time to it, account for your time and expenses.
The goal now: a foundation on which to develop your skill and, over time, earn people’s trust.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Questions you may
be thinking about.
About starting, practising and taking your studies further.
I have never studied astrology. Can I take this course?
Yes. We begin with the structure of a birth chart and the meaning of planets, signs and houses. Examples and practice accompany each new topic. Bring a willingness to study regularly and ask questions.
Do I need Sanskrit to study the classical material?
No prior study of Sanskrit or the Vedas is required. Classical terms and principles in the curriculum will be explained in accessible language. We will study selected foundational topics from the reference works.
Will I practise writing my own chart readings?
Yes. The target is approximately 50 charts across classwork and homework. For the final practical, you will write a 2–3 page basic analysis of an unfamiliar D1 chart and explain your reasoning.
How much time should I allow alongside work or home responsibilities?
There are two live classes each week, lasting 2 hours each. Allow 4 hours for classes plus time for revision and homework. Check the batch timings against your schedule before enrolling.
What happens if I miss a live class?
Recording availability and access follow academy policy. If recordings are essential for you, confirm their availability and access duration before enrolling.
What level does the course aim to reach in three months?
The aim is a basic birth-chart reading that connects planets, signs, houses, planetary strength, relationships and basic combinations. You will also have an introductory understanding of periods and transits. Advanced prediction and precise event timing belong to further study.
Can I begin paid consultations after this course?
This course establishes your foundation. Responsible paid consultation calls for advanced study, guided case practice and an honest assessment of your competence. Future earnings depend on fees, clients and expenses; the examples on this page are hypothetical calculations only.
Is a completion certificate included?
The curriculum includes an AstroVedansh course completion certificate. Your study also includes assignments, monthly tests, a final practical and an oral assessment.
What is the fee, and how do I enrol?
The full course fee is ₹12,000. After the ₹2,000 discount, the amount payable is ₹10,000. This includes 1 year of FREE AstroTry access, valued at ₹12,000. The “Begin your studies” button opens the Razorpay payment page. Terms, refund and privacy links are provided below.
