What is Jyotish?
Jyoti means light. Isha means God. Jyotish is the "Lord of light" yet is considered a sister science of Ayurveda and Yoga. In study, Jyotish as a science observes the influence of the effects of cosmic light on human life, as well as the inner light of the human cosmic experience.
To put is simply, Jyotish is considered Vedic Astrology
Beverly utilizes jyotish as a tool during consultation for gaining a deeper insight into where you are at in your life, what afflictions may be distributing flow, and what attributes you have in reaching your full purpose.

You can look up your own chart to get a basic idea of what it looks like and begin the journey of self-discovery through the influence of the stars.
disclaimer: Beverly has studied Jyotish with qualified teachers and Jyotish astrologers but does not claim to be an astrologer herself. A birth chart is only used if the client is interested in knowing simple aspects of the chart as a tool and for guidance and personal interest.
