Vedic Astrology Classes
Dennis teaches all of his classes and workshop in the time honored oral tradition of Shruti, which in Sanskrit means that which is heard. In this way there is a direct connection between the teacher and student. All classes and workshop are available through a platform of live interaction so that students can participate in a real time learning environment regardless of location nationally or internationally. Your instructor, Dennis Flaherty, is one of the foundational people who have brought the astrology of India to the West these past three decades. All classes and workshop are recognized toward CVA certification through the Council of Vedic Astrology (CVA), the oldest Vedic astrology organization in the West.
Your instructor, Dennis Flaherty, is one of the four foundational people who co-sponsored the International Symposiums on Vedic Astrology that brought the great teachers of Vedic Astrology to speak to live western audiences the last two decades. He continues that tradition each year by offering distance learning classes in Vedic Astrology at the Northwest Institute of Vedic Sciences. Dennis is one of the founding members of the CVA. He is an approved teacher of the CVA and all classes and workshops count toward CVA certification.
The Master Mentor Series:
Distance Learning
The mentoring class is only available as an option for our audio course students after obtaining permission from the instructor. It is a live interactive class that aspires to build the student's Vedic chart interpretation skills in a structured progressive learning environment. The mentor class is offered three times yearly and is comprised of four classes for each series. Course materials are provided for each of the classes. Please call for more information.
The Rahu/Ketu Tempest
in Aquarius and Leo
The nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu, are depicted as dragons and serpents in the astrology of both the east and the west. The symbol of the nodes is found on the back of the head of the king of snakes; the cobra. The serpent and dragon mythology of all eastern and western creation myths liken the serpent's and dragon's appearance to times of archetypal struggle, as they are harbingers of storms and eclipses, representing the epic battle between the forces of light and darkness.
This year, Rahu, transiting the constellation of Aquarius, and Ketu, always opposite, are transiting the constellation of Leo, where they will begin their epic struggle in these constellations for the next year and a half. They are powerful indicators of changing times for the nativities they influence. Join Dennis to see where the Rahu/Ketu axis falls in your chart.

Secrets of Successful Vedic
Chart Interpretation:
​​
Many students of Vedic astrology have difficulty sorting through the overwhelming material that is available on the subject and organizing it into a coherent presentation. If this speaks to your circumstance - then this workshop is for you. Your teacher, Dennis Flaherty, has four decades of experience as a full-time practicing astrologer and will present a comprehensive, easy to understand, foundational overview of the principles that are truly relevant in the practice of Vedic astrology. His approach is based upon his many years of successful practice, not just what you will read in books.
Einstein is purported to have said “Genius is knowing what is important,” and Dennis will teach you what is important in Vedic chart interpretation, so you can bring content, consistency, and lucidity with confidence to Vedic chart interpretation. Dennis will teach you to see a celestial mandala where you once only seemed to gaze upon an unrecognizable celestial maze.
