Introduction to Vedic Astrology/Jyotish
Friday September 4, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am CDT
Sheffield Room - 4th floor
Grahas (planets), Rasis (signs), Bhavas (houses) and Drishtis (aspects) will be discussed. Although Western Astrology shares these similar elements, Vedic Astrology also employs many other unique principles, such as Nakshatras (asterisms), Dasas (planetary time periods), Divisional (harmonic) charts, and Yogas (specific planetary combinations), all unique to Jyotish. Knowing and applying these concepts will refine your analytical and predictive abilities immensely.

Stelliums in a Birth Chart
Friday September 4, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT
Lakeview Room - 2nd floor
A stellium is an intense gathering of energy, formed when four or more planets are conjunct within a single house or specific span of degrees. Known as "Sanyasa Yoga" in Vedic Astrology, these clusters pose a beautiful challenge: how do we honor a chorus of voices singing in such powerful unison? This talk explores how to interpret and harness this intensity using fascinating Vedic techniques - all illustrated by compelling examples.
