Vedic Astrologers — Western-Side Practitioners of Jyotish
17 verified practitioners. Each profile is sourced from the public directory of the school that credentialed them or from the practitioner's own published bio. We don't take commissions, host bookings, or list anyone we couldn't verify.
Vedic astrology — Jyotish — uses the sidereal zodiac, the dasha system of planetary periods, and an entirely different house and yoga structure than Western astrology. It is its own complete tradition, not a regional variant. Most Western Vedic practitioners trained in India or with diaspora teachers; the British Association for Vedic Astrology (BAVA) and the American College of Vedic Astrology are the two main Western-side credentialing bodies.
This list is intentionally short. We list only Western-side practitioners we could verify against a recognised school or credentialing body — not the much larger field of practitioners trained directly in India, which has its own ecosystem and is best browsed through Indian directories.
How this list was built: seeded from the publicly listed graduates and faculty of the Steven Forrest Apprenticeship Program, the Forrest Center for Evolutionary Astrology, Kepler College, the Centre for Psychological Astrology, the Faculty of Astrological Studies, the Company of Astrologers, BAVA, and the published bios of recognised authors and teachers in the tradition. Every profile links to the practitioner's own site so you can verify directly. We are not paid by anyone listed.
