Classes Offered: |
My ongoing Vedic Astrology groups began at the basic level with my students not knowing a thing. I feel I have made this complicated subject quite accessible and many of my students can now interpret a Vedic chart without comparing it to the western horoscope. It is very exciting to see that happen. |

My favorite astrology book: |
A large coffee-table astrology book by Derek and Julia Parker was the first astrology book I ever read and was hooked.
Dane Rudhyar's books explained astrology in a philosophical and poetic way which fascinated me and still does. |
