An online gurukula for modern students of Jyotiṣa
Jyotiṣa Āśrama is a structured learning environment built on the classical tradition and adapted for serious study online. It brings together everything a student of Jyotiṣa needs — a graded curriculum, primary-source texts, guided practice, active discussion, and ongoing research — in one place, under one method.
📚
Study
A graded curriculum from foundations to practitioner level, built around classical texts such as the Phaladīpikā. Structured lessons, checkpoints, and clear progression.
🔭
Practice
Chart analysis, guided exercises, and case work. Apply principles to real horoscopes and build interpretive skill step by step.
📖
Library
Primary sources, translations, and reference material. Read the tradition in its own words, with scholarly apparatus.
🔬
Research
Collaborative projects testing classical techniques against evidence. Contribute to a living body of knowledge.
