Predicting with the Nakshatras (Lunar Mansions)

The Lunar Mansions of Vedic Astrology, also known as the Nakshatras, are not a simple matter to figure out! Because they deal so deeply with the subjective experience of our existence, and also because each of us has our own individual consciousness with its own intricate complexities, discerning how best to use nakshatras accurately can be a tricky business to sort through. As you may know, Nakshatras are the cornerstone of my work and over the years, I have developed some interesting techniques with which to extract not only very subtle but also very accurate information from the horscope. Plus these very same concepts with which I work allow for the predictive side of astrology to become much more fine tuned.

One thing I have learned is that as each Nakshatra has many different facets to express, it is important to come to an understanding of each of these and how they blend together when planets, different Nakshatras plus many other factors are brought into the mix. In addition to that, it is important to understand Nakshatras as a ‘Conditional’ factor of astrology. They define the condition within which something happens, mainly the condition through which you grow your consciousness in relation to a specific planet or house cusp (if you also work with these as I do.)

Every couple of years, I teach an updated course on the Nakshatras as I am always fine-tuning my understanding of how they work and how best to interpret them. The last of these courses was in 2018, but I have come up with many new ideas and concepts with which to work with them. So, it is time to do another one! This time around, I will not be teaching the meaning of the individual Nakshatras. This is taught on the Learning the Lunar Mansions Course.
