Shadbala and Vedic Astrology for Spiritual Harmony & Self-Knowledge | Part 2
Following the success of our foundational 12-week Vedic Astrology Course for Spiritual Harmony and Self-Knowledge, we are pleased to offer the next stage in this series—an in-depth exploration of Shadbala, the sixfold measurement of planetary strength.
This 8-week course focuses on how planetary power shapes not only external events, but your inner experience of life—how you perceive, respond, endure, and grow through your karmas. While the first course introduced the language of astrology, this course brings you into direct relationship with the living forces of the planets within your own consciousness.
Course Begins September 10th, 2026.
Q&A Dates: September 26, October 3, 10, 17, November 7 and 14, 2026. 10-11:30 AM Eastern Time Zone.

Working with Planetary Archetypes Through Mythology and Meditation
In this final section, we will explore how to consciously engage the planets within—through symbolism, awareness, and inner practice—so that astrology becomes not only something you study, but something you live and embody. Part 3 will be offered Spring of 2027.
Astrology reflects life itself—layered, dynamic, and deeply personal.
This course invites you to move beyond interpretation into understanding your experience from within, recognizing how planetary forces shape both your path and your perception of it.
We warmly invite you to join us on this journey of deeper understanding and self-discovery. Whether you are continuing from Part 1: 12- Week Vedic Astrology Course for Spiritual Harmony and Self-Knowledge or stepping into this material with fresh curiosity, this course offers a meaningful opportunity to explore your inner landscape through the lens of astrology. With steady guidance, thoughtful discussion, and practical insight, you will gain tools that can stay with you long beyond the course itself. We look forward to learning together and supporting you along the way.
