NEW THIS SEASON

Fresh in the Study Space.

The Study Space grows every week. Here is what has arrived most recently.

New

Audio lectures in Sachin’s voice

The Parashara Graha Sutras as short lectures to hear on a walk or a drive, with chapters and your place kept.

New

A meditation room

Arrive before you study: guided sittings, breathing patterns, a mala counter, and recorded rain, ocean, stream and tanpura.

Rebuilt

Chart Foundations

The grammar of a chart, one step at a time: rāśi, bhāva, lord, placement and bhāva yoga, with a chart you build yourself.

New

Verses recited aloud

Hear the verses of Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra recited as you read them in the Sutra Library.

New

The Two Zodiacs and The Outer Grahas

Two position papers you can work through: why the rāśis keep time with the seasons, and why the nine Grahas are complete.

New

The Sanskrit Dictionary

34 dictionaries and 1.4 million entries in one search, 2,259 roots with every form, English to Sanskrit, and a word analyser.

INSIDE THE STUDY SPACE

Nine rooms, one practice.

A lesson opens a sutra, a sutra opens a word study, a chart opens a research question, and every thought can go into your own notebook. Each room is kept by the Graha whose nature it shares.

♃JUPITER · THE TEACHER

Courses, and a new lecture every week

Video lessons in the order the tradition teaches them. Your place in every video is kept, notes carry the moment they were written, questions check each lesson, and a certificate marks the end of a course. Every session is recorded with a transcript you can search.

☿MERCURY · SPEECH AND LETTERS

The sutras in Sanskrit

30,709 verses from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Saravali, Jataka Parijata, Brihat Jataka, Phaladipika, Surya Siddhanta and eleven more, in Devanagari and IAST, with 34 dictionaries a tap away, every root conjugated and every form analysed.

☉SUN · WHAT MAKES THINGS VISIBLE

Chart Laboratory

Tropical rashis, Campanus bhavas, Dhruva nakshatras and true nodes. Vimshottari dashas to the third level, sixteen divisional charts, the Lajjitādi avasthās and 144 bhava yogas worked out from the chart.

☊RAHU · THE HUNGER TO FIND OUT

Chart Research

Search 26,185 timed births from the Gauquelin, Müller and Astro-Databank collections by placement, lordship, aspect or condition, and see how any factor falls across the whole library or a group you choose.

☽MOON · THE MOVING SKY

Sky Lab and the Transit Observatory

The sky for your place, updated as the clock moves. Models of retrograde motion, the tithis, eclipse seasons, the rising lagna and the seasons make the geometry behind each rule visible.

☋KETU · WHAT LIES BENEATH

Psyche and interpretation

Jyotish read alongside depth psychology, with a reference of clinical concepts for careful interpretation. Sachin’s books, The Ologies of Jyotish and The Stages of Life, can be read inside.

♄SATURN · STEADY, PRIVATE WORK

Your notebook

A private notebook for observations, chart studies and questions, with templates, linked pages and an idea map that shows how your understanding grows.

♀VENUS · GATHERING

A community that studies together

Live sutra and question sessions, a conversation for each session, replies and mentions that reach you, direct messages between members, and a weekly digest.

♂MARS · EFFORT

Practice that sticks In testing

Games built from the teaching, a Daily Challenge, levels from Śiṣya upward and milestones that make regular study a habit. The games are still being built: play them as early versions and tell us what works.

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE

Every room and every tool.

More than thirty tools under one sign-in, grouped just as you will find them inside.

CALCULATED WITH CARE · LIVE

The Grahas right now.

These positions are being calculated in your browser this minute, with the same engine the Study Space uses. Rashis are tropical, bhavas Campanus, Rahu and Ketu the true nodes, and nakshatras are measured along the celestial equator from the Galactic Centre at the middle of Mula. Every chart states its moment, time zone and place.

Calculating…

THE COURSE SERIES

The courses, in the order a chart is read.

First the Grahas, the Rashis and the Bhavas. Then how the Grahas work together: relationship, sight, strength and state. Then the chart read whole, the nodes and the divisional charts, and time last, because dashas and transits bring out what the chart already holds.

THE RHYTHM OF STUDY

Something new every week.

EVERY WEEKA new lecture

Released into its course, with your place kept and a transcript to search.

LIVESutra and question sessions

Study the text together and ask what is unclear. The recording follows, with chapters.

EVERY MONDAYYour community digest

Replies to your conversations, mentions of your name and what is coming up.

EVERY DAY · IN TESTINGThe Daily Challenge

Ten questions, the same for every member, and a streak to keep. Still being refined.

SIXTEEN CITIES

Study in the light that suits you.

Each look is named for an old Indian city and the craft it is drawn from. The whole Study Space, this page included, follows the one you choose. Try one.

YOUR TEACHER

Sachin Sharma

A practicing Jyotishi and psychoanalytic depth practitioner, Sachin brings classical Jyotish together with depth psychology: technical precision in the chart, and careful attention to the person it describes. He is the author of two books, and teaches the texts closely, sutra by sutra, with room for questions.

QUESTIONS

Before you begin

I’m new to Jyotish. Is this for me?

Yes. Begin with How to Study Jyotish and the Parashara Graha Sutras. The path of study shows what comes next, and nothing assumes knowledge you haven’t been given.

How often is new teaching added?

A new lecture is released every week, and live sessions are recorded and added with a searchable transcript.

Can I listen as well as watch?

Yes. Alongside the video courses there are audio lectures in Sachin’s voice, beginning with the Parashara Graha Sutras, and verses of the texts recited aloud. The app keeps your place, so you can listen anywhere.

Is the Study Space available in my language?

The Study Space can be read in English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Turkish, Malay and Indonesian. The teaching itself is in English, with Sanskrit in Devanagari and transliteration.

Are the games finished?

Not yet. The games and the Daily Challenge are open to play while they are still being built and tested. Members’ feedback shapes what they become.

Which calculations does the Study Space use?

Tropical rashis, Campanus bhavas, true Rahu and Ketu, and nakshatras measured along the celestial equator from the Galactic Centre at the middle of Mula (the Dhruva method). Lahiri and mean nodes can be chosen in Settings.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. The Study Space works in any modern browser and can be installed as an app. Your notes, progress and place in each video follow you between devices.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your plan begins on day 14 and renews monthly or yearly. You’ll get a reminder email three days before. Cancel any time from Account → Manage Billing; you keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for.

Where do the birth charts come from?

From the open Gauquelin and Müller archives (birth-register times, shared under CC BY-SA) and the Astro-Databank public sample. Each chart keeps its source and Rodden rating.

Is my notebook private?

Yes. Your notebook, notes and chart studies are private to your account. Only what you choose to post in the community is shared.

FOURTEEN DAYS FREE · EVERYTHING OPEN

Begin with one sutra.

OBSERVANCE · THE MOVING SKY

Transit Observatory

Follow the changing positions and motions of the Navagraha as an ongoing field of observation. Move through a day, a week or a month, notice what actually changes, and keep a private record of what you observe.

PRIVATE ARCHIVE

Past Observations

CALCULATION NOTE
Planetary longitudes are calculated geocentrically in the tropical zodiac. Positions are apparent (corrected for light-time and aberration). Rahu and Ketu use the true lunar node by default, with Ketu exactly opposite Rahu. The Observatory separates the Rāśi field from the Bhava field. Rāśi view shows sign placement directly. Bhava view uses the observer's latitude and longitude to calculate a tropical Campanus framework, allowing the student to compare the sign-field with the changing spatial field without conflating the two.
NATURE, FUNCTION AND INTERPRETATION

Grahas

Nine chapters for studying the Grahas through classical descriptions, technical conditions and psychological inquiry.

Compare two Grahas
THE STUDY OF AVASTHĀS

Lajjitādi Avasthās

A reference for the conditions of each Graha, their formation and their psychological interpretation.

DIRECTIONAL NATURAL RELATIONSHIPS

Who helps, hinders, or remains neutral to whom?

Rows are the subject Graha. Columns are the influencing Graha. Click any cell for the directional relationship and the Lajjitādi exceptions that can override the ordinary relation.
CLASSICAL TEXT AND INTERPRETATION

The Lajjitadi passages

BPHS 45.11–29, with the Svastha passage at 45.8 as a supplement. Each passage includes Sanskrit, IAST transliteration, a working translation and commentary.

Formation, strength and mixed results must be considered together. The historical passages on illness, children and spouses require particular care. Their literal wording and contemporary psychological commentary are presented separately.

Lajjitādi Avasthās · Practice

Study a configuration, establish each cause and preserve your observations.

ONE-GRAHA FORMATION STUDY
Aspect qualifications

Enter these qualifications when the relevant Graha aspects the subject. Unconfirmed nature is excluded from confirmed relief. The workbench implements the individual-aspect reading’s named cruel-enemy routes; additional Mercury-cruelty agitation interpretations require manual study.

How to enter this configuration
Seven subject Grahas, nine-Graha fieldThe formation engine studies Sun through Saturn as subject Grahas. Rahu and Ketu remain available as causative Grahas because they are central to Lajjita formation.
Degree-specific dignityThe workbench uses BPHS 3.49–54 to distinguish exaltation, mulatrikona and own-rashi portions. Enter the tropical longitude within the rashi.

Relationships to this Graha

Choose the actual relationship to the subject Graha. Same-lord links remain visibly weaker than actual conjunctions.

Recognition
The exercise rewards formation logic rather than speed. A student should be able to say exactly which Rāśi, conjunction, same-lord link, or aspect creates each condition.
