Vedic Astrology Certification Course in India
7-Day Vedic Astrology Foundation Course – Level 1
A structured beginner-level course designed to build a strong foundation in the twelve houses, twelve zodiac signs, nine planets, four elements and their relationships within a horoscope. No previous knowledge of astrology is required.
The course introduces Vedic Astrology as a system for understanding human nature, consciousness, behavioural patterns and the deeper structure of life. Ajay Sharma’s teaching is shaped by decades of meditation, inner observation and sustained spiritual practice. Live, interactive discussion connects astrological principles with actual human lives, encouraging understanding rather than the memorisation of combinations.

What You Will Learn
This Beginner Vedic Astrology Course follows a clear seven-day progression through the confirmed Level 1 syllabus.The Twelve Houses
During Days 1–2, students are introduced to the meaning, life areas and psychological significance of all twelve houses. Each house is explored as part of the framework through which life events, development and human experience are understood.The Twelve Zodiac Signs
On Day 3, students study the nature, elements, qualities and behavioural expression of the twelve zodiac signs, including how signs are connected with planetary rulership and different stages of life.The Nine Planets
Day 4 introduces the nine planets used in Vedic Astrology and their fundamental qualities, significations and influence on personality, relationships and life experience.The Four Elements
On Day 5, students learn fire, earth, air and water as foundational principles for interpreting temperament and behaviour, including how elemental relationships contribute to compatibility and expression.Houses, Signs and Planets Together
Day 6 explains how planets, signs and houses combine within a horoscope. Students begin to see these factors as an interconnected system rather than as separate definitions.Understanding a Horoscope
Day 7 introduces the basic structure of a horoscope and includes foundational instruction in:- Recognising the twelve houses
- Identifying zodiac signs
- Understanding planetary placement
- Reading a basic blank horoscope
- Recognising house ownership and planetary lordship
- Beginning practical chart interpretation
Foundational Interpretation
Students begin learning how to connect individual chart factors rather than memorising isolated definitions. Real horoscope examples help students develop interpretative ability and recognise how principles manifest in human experience. Students are encouraged to ask why a placement expresses itself in a particular way, rather than simply repeat what a book says about it. Questions and discussion are an integral part of this learning.A Practical and Consciousness-Based Approach
The course does not treat astrology as a collection of disconnected predictions. Students are encouraged to understand the relationship between planetary symbolism, psychology, behaviour, consciousness and recurring life patterns. The aim is to develop a thoughtful foundation from which deeper astrological study can continue. Meditation and inner inquiry inform the quality of attention brought to teaching: astrology becomes an invitation to observe, reflect and understand, alongside the study of its principles.Who Can Join This Course?
