Due to the success of Universal Astrology Classes and at the requests of many students who took those classes, I have decided to formally offer Certification Training in Vedic Astrology.  

Testimonials of Universal Astrology Students Here

This Program is aimed at training students to become professional astrologers themselves.
See "Certification" Below

This Certification program will only be open to those who have taken Universal Astrology Level 1 and Level 2 classes, as the themes outlined in those classes are deepened and applied using the powerful and holistic techniques of Vedic Astrology in the Certification Program.

If you have not taken Universal Astrology Level 1 and 2 and wish to do so t  oward this Certification Program you can Purchase Those Classes at a Discounted Rate Below.

The first of the six-week classes will discuss important rules and structural foundations in Vedic astrology. The second group of six week classes will deepen the approaches from level 1 and focus them toward giving consultations, distilling the overwhelming amounts of data into succinct concepts and predictions that benefit the client.

It is highly advise that everyone have my book, "The Ascendant" to use as a study guide - especially in the first group of classes as we get deeper into the specific rules of planetary friendship, emnity, dignity and house rulership.

In the first group of classes there will be several techniques and approaches that I have developed and use on a regular basis to focus my interpretations, in addition to the classical methods listed below.

Wherever possible I honor the order of teachings from Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra.

Class Format and Benefits:

• Weekly Conference Calls that all students can attend in real time or audit if they cannot make the call. I urge people to attend in real time so there questions can be asked and discussed. I have students all over the world that take these classes so it is fine if you need to audit. 
• Exclusive Class Member Area that has all class materials uploaded for present and future reference. http://todaysastrology.net/classes is the website.. you will see past classes listed and password protected. This exclusive member website has many ongoing and lively discussions with other class members and with Sam answering questions.
