This is a group tutoring course for students of Steven Highburger. The focus will be on what "Light on Life" by Dr. Robert Svoboda and Hart DeFouw has to say on "why" someone's lagna creates the disposition it does. Assessing the lagna is primary to being able to interpret a person's birth chart, and we will try to understand each rising sign using the following birth charts of famous people.

Pre-requisite: You have completed Steven Highburger's Level 4 Course
Join us for a review of the materials in Steven Highburger's Level 4 curriculum, Amśa Vicāra. Integrate the material and refine your ability to assess an individual's daśa and bhukti. Allison has been assisting Steven's 3 year program since 2021.
Review will focus on Iyer's method of analyzing amśa through daśā and bhukti, amśa yogas, amśa strength, classical amśa vicara, and most importantly, practice integrating the many principles offered in Level 4 so that you find a natural flow with the material. We'll start with 4 classes and discuss the continuation after our introductory 4 weeks.
Steven will pop in monthly for a 30 minute Q&A once or twice, and Steven will be in touch with Allison throughout the cohort to answer any lingering questions.
All levels of students welcome

The materials in "Ocean of Sound" could take you years to move through and you'll have lifetime access.

K. Sridhar, one of the world’s finest exponents of the Sarod
Allison is a scholar, advisor, and teacher with 25 years experience in Vedic (Indian) wisdom systems. She's dedicated half of her life to practices from ancient India that prove to be easy technologies for calming the mind and living with more grace. Her innovative program "Nāda Nakṣatra Upāsana" teaches a practice she's been learning as an oral tradition for the past decade that links Vedic Astrology with South Indian rāga music learned from her primary mentor K. Sridhar. Her program "Ocean of Sound" teaches chanters how to lead kirtan utilizing the basic building blocks of Indian rāgas and tālas and includes an extensive Music Library built by Allison and friends during the pandemic.
Allison is a decades long student of Patāñjali Yoga and Sanskrit, and has served as a TA for her Jyotișa teacher Steven Highburger since 2021.
Allison's music guru K. Sridhar has asked her to write a book on the intersection of Indian Classical Music and Vedic Astrology. K. Sridhar has taught her in the oral tradition for the past 10 years and there are no books currently available on this subject. This unique vidya has tremendous potential to calm the mind, even the highly overactive mind that has a hard time settling down.
Writing a book is a huge undertaking energetically and financially. Your contributions towards a 2026 completion and subsequent publication are greatly appreciated.
