Vedic Astrology Readings
Psychological spiritual readings go deep into the heart of life, bringing fresh perspective to life events and awareness to our individual cycles. Ayurvedic astrology allows us to more deeply understand our physical and mental constitution as well as both negative and positive triggers. Tantric astrology allows us to find remedies specifically tailored to the individual that teach us how to use the energy at hand. Chart matching and relationship readings can be an excellent way for couples to see each other in a fresh way. Birth time rectification is also possible for those willing to put in a bit of work. Extended readings can shine a light on the whole family.

Learn Vedic Astrology
Learning Vedic Astrology takes a lot of self-study, support of a community, the grace of the guru, and blessings of God, but it can be done. I have articles, books, lectures, group classes, a great community, private tutoring and everything else you need except the self-effort and the grace of god.

All Levels – Research Work Available
Private one-to-one learning
Work with these old astrologers as much as you can, read charts together and then more charts, get to know each other, make a connection, you know, like they did in the old days. Of course we have a very modern connection that can bring us together. You can go to Varanasi, to the Himalayas, to Goa, to the Jungle, whatever isolated place you might go to find wisdom, and you’ll probably just find me sitting there anyways. Lets save the trouble (for now).

Books & Recordings
“The Astrologers Notebook: All of the basics & a bit more.” I made this for my own learning, I’ve been using it for teaching the basics. It’s a good reference for the basic principles.
“The Nakshatra Project: New research into the 27 wives of the Moon; a reference textbook” This is an incredible resource that brings together all the classics while bringing new insight into the 27 nakshatras. It’s unfinished and unpolished, but still a 7000 page gem of Vedic Astrology. Sales will help fund continued research. Over 80 hours of audio lectures are also available.
“Philosophy of the Plants: For Healers.” The text is currently undergoing revision, but 20 hours of lectures are available for free on Spotify or for. a small fee from me.
“Nakshatra Polarity of Rahu & Ketu: A Unique Perspective” This research document will form the foundation of the upcoming course. It accounts for the nakshatra polarity of this powerful pair through over 120 years of history, as well as considering their position in 1000s of natal charts. Join the course to hear discussion of the research. Buy the book an do your own analysis of the research. Useful and insightful.

Cultural & Spiritual Pilgrimage
Collaborate
Lets work together, on-line or in-person. Lets fly to some exotic destination and invite all our friends and make magic together. France or Spain in the Spring? Italy or Nepal in the autumn? I still have a bit of time in Toronto or Montreal in March 2024? Lets make the impossible possible and then invite everyone. I can partner with your group, yoga studio or ashram to bring discounted readings, classes and special content.
Hospitality
I travel almost continuously, some think it’s because I’m rich, but the truth is just the opposite. Hospitality is the key. So lets meet along the way, Dinner parties and meetings in the park are my specialty; bring your friends and family for the stories of a wandering philosopher. I love reading charts as I pass though places, it’s such an amazing way to connect to people, hear their stories, and feel the local culture. Staying with local hosts is one of the most precious parts of travel. Even if we just get to say hello on my way through town; it’s what I live for.
Support
Help me get my research out to you. Many people have praised the honest research I do into the nakshatras, Vedic astrology, and the tantras; they appreciate my sincere effort to follow an expansive spiritual path in life. I am an independent baba with no ashram, no political affiliations, and almost no connection to what we might call society.
