Scroll a concept from start to finish
Short walkthroughs where a diagram builds alongside the words as you read. Three minutes each, for the concepts that land better with a picture beside them.
The reading flow
A decision tree of how to read a chart house by house. Twelve ordered questions, with the branch options and self-contained teaching for the cases you actually meet in a real chart.
How a Vedic chart is built
The zodiac, the ascendant, the twelve houses, and the nine planets, assembled layer by layer as you scroll.
The 27 nakshatras, visualized
How Vedic astrology divides the sky a second time. Nakshatras, padas, and why the signs and the 27-mansion ring intentionally disagree.
How dasas work
The 120-year Vimshottari timing arc every chart carries. Nine planetary chapters in a fixed sequence, sized to their classical year allotments.
The structure of the zodiac
The 12 signs decoded as overlays: four elements, three modalities, two polarities. The grid that tells you what each sign actually does.
Houses and their groupings
Kendras, trikonas, dusthanas, and upachayas. Why the 12 houses aren’t a flat list, and how the groupings shape every reading.
Planetary aspects (drishti)
Every planet casts a gaze on specific other houses. The universal 7th aspect, plus the 4/7/8, 5/7/9, and 3/7/10 patterns for Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
How divisional charts are built
How a D9 is derived from a D1. Split each sign into nine parts, remap each part to a new sign. The rule generalises to every other varga.
Ashtakavarga: the chart’s support map
Eight sources contribute bindus to the 12 houses. Summed up, they form a density map of where a chart carries classical support and where it has to work alone.
How everything influences everything
Every planet contributes four kinds of connection to the chart: occupation, aspects, ownership, disposition. Together they form a dense network, and reading is traversing it.
