I used western astrology for over 30yrs! then switch to Sidereal 2 yrs ago. I knew in my early 20s I was an astrologer in past lives, and in south India. Now I'm finding home. TY . Im very busy with a clientele, Im not sure I need 12 months lessons. BUT I am looking for a teacher/guide. ill look up the host too
Vimshottari Dasha is the most accurate predictive technique in Astrology and it is so valuable. I first started using it when I was doing a training in vedic Astrology, but after the couse I was definetely more inclined to use Tropical again, and I started using the dasha system for Tropical zodiac signs and Sideral nakshatras - everything changed from this moment, and this was the missing piece in my studies. I have an astrology diary where I note all importants events that happens in my life and their correlation with the dashas - and it always work. Another thing I do is calculating the Nakshatra dasha from the strongest planet in the chart. I have Venus as my final dispositor and the best placed planet in my chart and calculating the Dashas from it gave me so much insights about the unfoldment of my life. I am grateful for have found the dasha system and if had to choose one only technique in Astrology to use would be that one. Thanks for posting this interview.
appreciate your points...tropical with sideral nakshtras gives so much accuracy....this is the first time i herad dasha from strongest planet from u..i l try his...if u could do my chart itt will be helpful and good learning regards
Thank you for this wonderful interview. Chris, you did an excellent job (as usual) in structuring the interview to introduce key concepts about Vedic astrology and your guest brought both wisdom and understanding in making the concepts clear and understandable. I've recently been attempting to understand foundational concepts in Vedic astrology. This conversation answered all my questions and makes me want to learn more.
This was the most helpful explanation I’ve ever heard. I’m slightly less confused 😊What a great pod! I’ve been trying to understand these concepts for a year! I still don’t understand fully yet, but this is a great reference point that I will return to multiple times. Thank you both!
Just got around to watching this, was an awesome episode. I'd be really interested in hearing more from Austin about the implications of knowing both western and vedic and how he reconciles the two.
@@eagillum I agree, however you still have the issue how to assess dignities. Like a tropical domiciled Venus is a fallen sidereal Venus, or a fallen tropical Jupiter is a domiciled sidereal Jupiter etc. It seems like you have to choose one zodiac over the other to assess dignities. Hank Friedman, the creator of Solar Fire, is one of the few astrologers who has been using both zodiacs for at least a couple of decades. His take from his experience is that the sidereal zodiac supercedes tropical when it comes to rulership and dignities. So if he sees a tropical Jupiter in Capricorn, he'd see that as a pretty good Jupiter because it's domciled in Sagittarius. He'd ignore it's tropical fallen condition. He also assess house rulership etc. only sidereally. However, he will still see Capricorn personality traits exhibited by that Jupiter, it just happens to be well dignified.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Freedom! What a delight to be offered fruit from a different branch of the Astrology Tree. The new episodes on timing techniques really take things to the next level. I’ve had a very brief introduction to them before, but these conversations have me excited to dive deeper. #astrologypodcast4eva
So glad you managed to add this important piece to this whole topic. Lost, sometimes confused, but little lights sparkling interestingly on the horizon.
Thank you both very much for your effort to produce this episode. Very good material to work with...will definitely study vedic astrology in the future.
This was great! I got his book. After reading his book, I want to learn more about Firdaria. Chris I think it would be great if you could interview someone who uses Firdaria which seems to be a Medieval Time Lord System
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful mans knowledge,I will certainly be buying his book to learn more...great stuff as usual from you Chris...x
Yes...very significant, encompassing and fully evolving! Love it! When the concept of time becomes King Supreme, Father Cronus (time ticking) which is attributed to the Planet Saturn, we are curiously alerted to Mercury and Mathematics (language truths validated by numbers;) and why the latter 2 have been awarded the crown key play in Western culture science and hidden esoteric; a caution of significant concern flashes loudly when the 'love' heart Moon/Venus is absent from an auspicious wedding tie.
Late viewer but this is amazing. I hope that one day we will get both tropical and sidereal horoscopes to work together as two great gears in a system that’ll help us in living life.
Very interesting thanks millions! Iis it possible to know the name of that Dasa that can be calculated from Lagna, Lagna lord, and the highest degree planet? Thank you
1:19:59 On the word “Aspect”: I think the easiest way for a western astrologer to understand how Vedic Jyotishis use the word is as follows: Aspect / Drishti = the Sight a planet on other planets/houses. Vs. Sambanth = Relationship that each planet makes with another….the traditional and newer quantum “western aspects” as western astrology uses the word. When a Vedic astrologer uses the word Aspect, we mean “drishti” NOT “sambandh” Western astrologers only use “sambandh” and call that “aspect”….thats where the confusion comes from. Drishti is based on Astronomy and orbit and as such is an astronomical *fact* and so there are fixed rules for each planet…. Saturn’s 3rd, 7th, 10th Drishti And Jupiter’s 5th, 9th, 11th (and maybe 7th I forget now) Drishti And Mars’ 4th and 8th Drishti (there’s I think 2 more but the 8th Drishti of Mars is the more destructive one so I remember it) Excellent interview 🙏🏼 I better unpause and keep listening ☺️
This was a great session. Thank you Chris. Although I had one doubt that required to be clarified by Freedom. He said that dasha means ten. But in my language culture here in India, I was given to understand that dasa means the number 10, whereas dasha means situation or circumstance. (The addition of the alphabet 'h' changes the word so there is a difference between dasa and dasha). So please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the dasha system refers not to a number division, but to 'situations' that develop as a result of the movement of the planets. More accurately, in the sanskrit language, dasha refers to a 'state of being'.
I wanted to add another message for Freedom.. -- that I bought his book on Vedic Astrology and have been studying it for a few weeks now.. and it is absolutely brilliant ! I love it. Thank you so much for writing this great book, Freedom. 🙏
The correct transliteration is daśā (as there are three variants of the ‘s’ in Sanskrit, it requires diacritical marks to be correct, but in English script dasha normally gets the point across). Colloquial languages have many variants from Sanskrit. From my understanding, daśa means ten (it relates to the Latin decas/Greek dekas, which gives the English decade). Daśā means a state or condition in life (generally fated) or a time period- but this goes back to the root of the time period marked by the sequence of 10s (numbers/years) as given by the planets, not like a state or condition in the sense of the word bhava. So your understanding is correct that the daśā system refers to states and conditions generated by the planets, but this is rooted in an astrological/numerological consciousness.
what is the divine logic behind mahadasha span of vimshottari dasha(120)? each planet is has a specific maha dasha period as ketu (7years), venus (20years), sun (6years) and so on. why?
Excellent. Can you please talk about Firdaria in depth and if it can sub divided the sub periods into smaller divisions just like the Dasa system which has sub-sub continuously ?
Could you address the significance of One who has Mercury Rx Natal? It's my position conjunct the Sun in Taurus 10th house and I do really well during Mercury Rx periods ...Ty so much!!
It's said that natal MercuryR doesn't affect you negatively when transiting Mercury goes retro. Speculatively, some astrologers have said that's because you're accustomed to the retrograde energy, but I'll bet it goes deeper than that.Lucky you!
This TIME and Lunar dates and the correlation with universe are how Chinese people have been using for centuries to calculate and do fortune telling too
That's me right now. Cancer rising with moon in 6H sag vedic/cap western. Plus going through rahu-mars now (and mars is the lord of my rahu). 😌 Edit: My mistake, I'm not going through saturn return but sadi sati (saturn passing over natal moon).
When interpreting natal planetary placements strengths/weaknesses for interpreting the dasha, do we stick with the house system we prefer to use (mine being placidus) or would we need to be using sidereal only ?
I am a sidereal astrologer, so I am not able to comment about its effectiveness in tropical charts. But there are Vedic astrologers who use these techniques in tropical charts.
Chris, please bring Freedom back to talk about divisional charts! He mentioned you in this recent podcast episode, and briefly hit on the use of divisional charts in Hellenistic astrology, which would be such an interesting episode. ruclips.net/video/rLdmAudo62s/видео.html
English, the language of the gerund lmao. My educational background allows me to recognize England’s history of colonization and imperialism in this tendency to enunciate “things having places” within language. Interestingly, though Wittgenstein was Austrian, his early philosophy (atomic facts have locations in logical states of affairs) was easily adapted to Anglophone philosophy in Britain and the United States.

You leave out the superstitious BS of Vedic astrology, and the wishful thinking BS of western astrology. After that, they go hand in hand fairly well.

Hi Chris, which one is the book you keep referring to during the podcast? I’d love to get it!!
Science of Light :)
Why does Vimshottari start from Krittika (as the seed nakshatra) and not from Ashwini?
Thank you for this excellent intro. So what is the process for comparing current transits against the northern Indian birth chart?
Dasha is topmost level vs transit. If dasha negates good transit brings opportunities but doesn’t bear fruits
Would have loved a section on the north node and south node in vedic charts.
Dasha means situation or condition. But instead of being just momentary, also qualitative.
Excellent. Can you please talk about Firdaria in depth and if it can sub divided the sub periods into smaller divisions just like the Dasa system which has sub-sub continuously ?
I’ve always heard you were supposed to do astrology on the train because you were moving anyway just a thought
