Consultant Vedic Astrology
Study Program
The Veda’s are the unique heritage of the ancient tradition of Indian wisdom. They do not only contain all knowledge of existence and evolution, but they also offer many practical applications, including the original approach of Vedic Astrology. In this Vocational Training of Vedic Astrology we are taught both spiritual and practical skills in order to function as a consultant in this fascinating field. We will learn with that part of the Indian Astrology that involves analysis and prediction based on the Vedic birthchart. This implies that we will be learning extensively about the characteristics of the planets, zodiacal signs and houses and the varied effects that their interactions have on our lifes.
Vedic Astrology or 'Jyotish' has been emerged from the primordial principle that all natural phenomena in time and space occur with great precision in such a way that these cycles can be perfectly calculated and the effects of any interactions can be analysed and predicted.
The main purpose of the Training is to guide the student in analyzing the Vedic birthchart and to relate this knowledge to the belonging periods of peoples lifes. Vedic Astrology gives tremendous insight to a client as a life agenda, showing the life path clearly and as a spiritual guide. Moreover, Vedic Astrology provides a number of natural remedies to balance or neutralize any planetairy effect which causes an obstacle in life.
Study Targets
The subject-matter of teaching is offered and explained step by step in 22 modules (lessons) in a very systematical way. Every module consists of a number of sheets together with questions and assignments. The student is asked to send the answers of the questions and assignments back to the tutor who will give his comments and discusses the subject-matter with the student. If necessary the tutor’s review can take place by skype and after this a new module will be offered to the student.

Extension: 1 year
After the Vocational Training of 1,5 year the student can participate in a 1-year Extension Study Program for his Master Degree II.
The purpose of this Extension is to guide the student how to facilitate consultations in Vedic Astrology to a client. In the past years students all over the world were able to start their own consultancy practice, but guidance in how to give the consultations in a practical way turned out to be very valuable. Another part of the Extension is to learn about how to use the Vedic Moon Calendar (Patra or Panchanga). This part is called the science of Muhurta. Muhurta deals with consulting persons and organizations to start specific activities on auspicious days in harmony with the position and strength of the Moon and other factors. The high-civilizised culture of ancient India was completely based on this wisdom of the relationship of man and society with universal influences.
