Module 1: The sky model

Every birth chart is a map of the sky. Before you can read a map, you need to know how the map is drawn. That is all this module does.

By the end of this module you can:

  1. Explain what the zodiac is, in one sentence.
  2. Take a number like 124.2° and say which sign it is in, and how far into that sign.
  3. Turn a Western (tropical) position into a Vedic (sidereal) position.

It takes about 40 minutes. There are six short parts. Do them in order.
