Astrology Course

Indian Astrology, which is also known as Vedic astrology is the traditional astrology of our country. This is a comprehensive system of astrological interpretation, containing an accurate method of examining all aspects of life from health to enlightenment. It has tremendous power in both the prediction of events and for guidance on how to live in harmony with the universe, helping us to understand and transcend the influence of karma. Vastu Shastra ("science of architecture") is a traditional Indian system of architecture originating in India. Texts from the Indian subcontinent describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry. Vastu Shastra incorporate traditional Hindu and (in some cases) Buddhist beliefs. The designs aim to integrate architecture with nature, the relative functions of various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilizing geometric patterns (yantra), symmetry, and directional alignments.

Astrology and Vastu have a language of their own—one that takes a fair amount of time and patience to get the hang of. To make things more approachable, we compiled this list of the 8 best Astrology and Vastu books to add to your shelves depending on what aspect of the cosmos you want to become more fluent in.

Throughout centuries, astrology has been used to help us understand ourselves better. By looking towards the planets and cosmos, astrologers can gain key insights about a person, including personality traits, interests, and even hardships based on their birth chart (a map of what was happening in the sky when we were born). This knowledge can be extremely validating, and can even help us make big career decisions or know what kinds of relationships fulfill us the most.

For those who are interested in learning more about astrology, the plethora of books and resources out there can be overwhelming. I spoke to several astrologers to find their best recommendations for beginner to advanced books, from introductory guides to deep-dives into transits and birth chart compatibility.
