The Learn Vedic Astrology track on Rashibyte is a free, structured course in Jyotish — Indian sidereal astrology — built for absolute beginners as well as students preparing for serious chart-reading practice. The curriculum follows the classical order of the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra (BPHS), the foundational text of Parashari astrology attributed to Sage Parashara, then layers on the practical rules a working astrologer actually uses: rashi (sign) and bhāva (house) significations, planetary kāraka roles, dristi (aspects), the twelve ārūḍha principles, and the vimshottari dasha timing system.
Each chapter is self-contained: you can read in order from "Foundations of Jyotish" through "Advanced Yogas and Doshas", or jump straight into a topic like mangal dosha, ashtakoot matching, or raja yoga. Chapters end with review questions and worked chart examples calculated on the same pyswisseph engine that powers the Rashibyte Kundali calculator, so the planets and degrees you see in the lessons are exactly what you will see in your own chart. Progress is saved against your free Rashibyte account, so you can pause and resume on any device.
The course is and will remain free — it exists to demystify a tradition that has too often been gate-kept behind paid courses. New chapters are added regularly; the catalogue below shows the courses currently available and those scheduled for release soon.
