The emphasis in this course is on learning Vedic Astrology using your own horoscope. You can study when and where you wish, at your own pace and with my personal tuition and support.
Contents of the course: The course includes: detailed interpretation of the Vedic horoscope, the role of divisional charts (such as the Navamsha chart), the Indian system of predictive astrology (dashas), yogas in the horoscope, Vedic remedial methods (such as mantra, yagya and gem stones), Ayurveda (how to determine your Ayurvedic constitution from the horoscope) and several other topics. These subjects are covered in 14 extensive lessons.
Applied Indian Astrology: This course will enable you to understand the fundamentals of Vedic Astrology and how to apply it in practice. The emphasis is placed on the practical application of Indian astrology, including Vedic remedial methods and Ayurveda.
Study Procedure: There are 14 assignments which are returned by post or email. Using email, you will receive prompt feedback and helpful comments, usually within 1 to 2 days.
Personal support from your Course Tutor: If you have any questions, just send me an email and you will always receive a prompt reply. Telephone tutorial support is also possible.
Course outcome: Once you have completed the course you will be able to interpret a Vedic horoscope, apply Vedic predictive astrology and make the correct choice of Vedic remedial methods, as well as determining the Ayurvedic constitution.
The course includes: The course material (over 170 pages), your personal Vedic charts, written corrections and guidance during the length of the course, and a list of recommended books. I have also written a supporting booklet for the course (The Planets, Signs, Houses & Nakshatras of Vedic Astrology: A Reference Guide), which costs £10 including p&p.
Admission: Some basic knowledge of Western Astrology may be helpful, but this is not essential. If in doubt, please contact me. A short introductory course is also available (£40) for those with no prior knowledge of astrology at all.
Fees: £210 or two payments of £115 if the course is sent to you by email (as a Word document); £250 or two payments of £135 for printing, binding and posting the material. Payment can be made by cheque, or online by PayPal (credit or debit card) using steve.hubball@virgin.net as the payee.

And this is what Richard Houck, author of ‘The Astrology of Death’ and ‘Digital Astrology’ said about the course:
“I often have people ask me about where they can learn basic Vedic Astrology from a person rather than a book. The Dirah Academy offers a personalized 14-lesson correspondence course that is probably the best combination of simplicity, clarity, practicality, usefulness and cost value on the world market today. How can you beat having fun with your own chart while learning Vedic Astrology for about £15 a lesson? I don’t know how they do it.”
