About

Aswin Subramanyan traces his astrological roots through his maternal lineage, which spans over 350 years. He began reading charts under the close guidance of his granduncle, who would allow him to lead client readings while stepping in gently when needed. This hands-on learning, within the framework of an oral tradition, shaped Aswin’s early understanding of astrology, not just as a technical skill, but as a way of engaging with life and people.


While his foundation is firmly rooted in the classical tradition of Jyotiṣa, Aswin has gone on to explore Hellenistic and Medieval Persian astrology, appreciating the depth and nuance they bring. Rather than treating these systems as separate, he integrates their wisdom into his work in a way that remains respectful to their origins and coherent in practice.


This course is his way of extending a tradition that has remained within his family for generations. With sincerity and care, Aswin invites students into a learning environment that values both heritage and thoughtful exploration, where techniques are taught, but context, meaning, and integrity are never forgotten.

They may first indicate assistance from unexpected sources, inheritances, reputation, authority, and...

Jupiter in Āśleṣā: The Wisdom of the Serpent
The Sun is currently transiting Āśleṣā Nakṣatra in Cancer, and Atharva Veda 6.12 that speaks about protection from venomous serpents gives us an interesting symbolic entry point into understanding Āśleṣā Nakṣatra. "As the Sun goes round the heaven, have travelled round the Serpents' race. I ward thy poison off, as Night parts all else living from the Sun." The connection between the Sun and the serpent is fascinating. The Sun represents illumination, consciousness and the ability to bring to...

The Giver of Life - Hillāja, Hīlāj, the Hyleg, and Primary Directions in the Tājika tradition
A PhD takes you to places you do not expect. When I began mine, I expected long days with books and open screens. It took me across western India to a manuscript library, to obtain a Sanskrit text that few people alive have read. For about two months I set other work aside, and the trip and the manuscripts cost me money and several things I gave up at the time. The doctorate is now near submission. Writing this essay is a break from the final polishing of the thesis, and it clears my mind....
