To see my latest articles and tutorials, updated bimonthly, please go to my new Learn Astrology Free website. I have organized the Vedic materials on this website to help readers to learn Vedic astrology systematically. I keep adding to this set of Vedic astrology lessons bimonthly, and it is becoming a complete learning course in astrology. Feel free to email me with suggestions and feedback in improving this material. I could not have written these articles, nor progressed in Vedic astrology, without having studied with my Jyotish guru Hart de Fouw. He taught me how to approach a Vedic chart, how to gain deeper understanding, and how to make Jyotish live and breathe. I am eternally grateful to him. (Note: In many cases, clicking on one of the links below will open one of my bimonthly tutorial columns. Feel free to read the entire column or just the article referred to in the title below.) Please read my essays on "Becoming an Astrologer" -- by clicking here -- and my essay Ending the War between the Astrologers revised in January 2010 in addition to the specific-to-Vedic-Astrology articles below. Also, since I have already created detailed articles in my Western tutorial for the planets and the signs, I will not be duplicating this material in this section.
