Online: Vedic Astrology Course – Understand Your Karma

If you have never studied Vedic Astrology before, it is recommended that you take the Intro to Vedic Astrology course first.
6 Week Course on Saturdays at 11 am Melbourne time

The play of Karma and how to respond to it.
We all take birth in this life due to previous unfulfilled karmas. The ancient science of Astrology can illuminate the particular karmas that are set to play out for you in this lifetime and the opportunities you have to clear them. In this course you will learn the elements of Vedic astrology and the framework for reading an astrology chart.

The Benefits of this Course
Cultivating a clearer understanding of yourself, motivations, opportunities and limitation can lead to a deep sense of self-acceptance. Understanding your karmic life circumstances and your part in it will allow you to proactively take steps to head in the best direction for you.

Why is the Tibetan Rime Buddhist Institute teaching Vedic Astrology?

There are two reasons we have decided to offer this course.

  1. Vedic astrology can deepen the appreciation and awareness of karma and impermanence and virtue in anyone no matter where they are at on their spiritual journey.

2. We aspire to have the most complete Kalachakra astrology information. Our group of astrologers are looking through the Kalachakra astrology text to best understand it and learn how to present it. They feel Vedic astrology is a strong foundation for our community as a base for the future study and implimention of Kalachakra Astrology.

What does Astrology have to do with Buddhism?

Tibetan Buddhism uses both Tibetan Astrology and Kalachakra astrology. It is one of the 5 minor sciences a Bodhisattva should know to help them gain pristine wisdom and guide sentient beings onto the path. Kalachakra astrology is the most extensive and exact system of astrology. It relates specifically to timing practices of the tantra to clear karma rapidly. It can be understood with a base in Tibetan, Vedic and Chinese astrologies. We are starting with Vedic. Even if someone does not plan to further study astrology, having a basic overview can help one appreciate the karma they have come into this life with, cause and condition, interdependence and various remedies and offerings that can be done to clear karma. For instance in Tibetan medicine the diseases can be understood by their relationship to constitution and karmic reasons for the disease. If you take it even further, astrology can help explain why people will have certain body structures and facial features. This information can help one to appreciate why mastery of various virtues create the 32 major marks and signs of a Buddha’s body.
