About Your Astrologer, Channing Ayers
“Ever since I can remember, astrology has been part of my life. My mother began studying western style astrology as a young woman, and I was raised around her endless piles of hand drawn charts and towers of astrology books. Her passion of understanding the many mysteries of existence was passed on to me through the years. I have always been drawn to the interpretations of the symbols, signs, and meanings of the mysteries of the universe. In college I focused on Jungian psychology and mythology, which always seemed to point me back to the foundations I had with the astrology through working with the symbols and archetypes of human experience. After receiving a B.A. in Jungian Psychology, I moved to the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, where I have made my home for the past eighteen years. During this time of running my own business and raising my family, I continued to study and do charts casually for my family and friends, but still felt I was missing out on something deeper in the astrology and wanted to know more. I was strongly pulled towards studying the ancient practice of Vedic astrology for more answers, and there began an incredible journey of finding my true passion. I began taking classes with Ryan Kurczak and discovered the teachings of Ernst Wilhelm, which led me to a greater understanding of how to integrate and share this knowledge I have been studying my whole life in a practical, grounded and beneficial way.”

Ryan, Can you please tell me where the line is to get the reading from YOU? I dont want anyone else but you doing the reading.
Namasthe!
I am not currently able to schedule more sessions at this time.
Ryan, this is a wonderful blog – an excellent service to humanity. I’d love to see a video offering your perspective of relocation-related astrology… For example: The Ascendant indicates soul purpose for an incarnation. Relocating far away would change our ascendant. Therefore, do you believe this would indicate a mid-life change of soul purpose?
Hi Ryan,
My name is Tatiana. I have been studying Western astrology for a while but recently found Vedic Astrology fascinating, as I had some private readings with Vedic astrologers. Which course would you recommend for me? Thanks
They are listed in the ideal order to take them.., or for a full experience you can begin at https://vedic-astrology.teachable.com/
Question : Once a person is able to enter a calm, mentally quiet meditative state, should they still use mantras, breathing, visualizations and / or other techniques at the beginning of each meditation practice ? Or, if able, should they just go directly into that meditative state with a quiet mind ?
As it happened, Roy Davis answered this for me in one of his last videos. I am very greatful and wish I could’ve known Roy personally. 🙏 Kevin Carpenter
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for taking the time to make your introductory set of 52 videos on youtube and the two books that you have written. I am a student and a beginner in this science. I had a few questions, and amongst all the authors and material I have consumed, I feel this falls most in your thought process. Apologies in advance for the number of questions. Would be grateful if you had a few moments to chime in.
Question 1 : The 12 Rashis or signs – why does it make sense or why did Parashara lay them out the way he did. Meaning why is Aries the first sign and not say Leo or say Cancer ?
Question 2 : I am yet to find a good book on vedic astrology that talks in depth of the rashi’s themselves and their properties. Would you have any recommendations ? Through this I am hoping to understand for myself why a particular planet would feel a certain way : eg what does Sun in Virgo mean or why would Mars be weak in Cancer ?
Question 3 : Each house has been assigned some properties – eg 11th house : significator of gains. Where does this come from ? Why does the first house signify the things it does, why not the third house ?
Question 4 : Why is a particular graha the natural karaka for a particular house ? Even though we say the first sign is Aries in the first house, we dont say Mars is the natural karak of the first house, but rather the Sun, significator of the self is the natural karaka because the 1st house stands for the self, the divine spark. So how does Aries get mixed up in this as the first Rashi and not Leo ?
Hoping to hear your thoughts,
Thanks again
Hi, just finished “Art and Science No. 1”, good book! I am a little confused with the description of the meaning of the houses on page 70 and modifying factors on page 103.
For example, on page 76, the 6th house seems to refer to Vergo and is related to health, yet on the top of page 103 regarding a Cancer ascendant, the 6th house would be Sagittarius and would deal with health.
Could you please explain?
Thanks!!
Yes, you look at both the natural sixth sign (Virgo) and the sixth house for the ascendant in question, for Cancer that would be Sag. When you find confluence, you have a stronger karma.
I understand that every sign has a correspondent chakra. Every chakra has a correspondent mantra. If, in a regular basis, one focuses on chanting the mantra correspondent to the sign in which one’s RAHU is located, what would it be the expected effects?
One would expect to develop a deeper understanding of Rahu and a better working relationship with that energy.
As a student of Vedic Astrology I find Ryans You Tube clips a very helpful addition to my studies. I have just purchased the book the Art and Science of Vedic Astrology.
Please kindly point out the source in the scriptures that describes the benefits of gemstones in astrology.
Thank you in advance.
There are no definitive sources that I am aware of.
Then how do you support the promotion for gemstones as remedial measures?
There are other sources that speak to the healing properties of gemstones. If we only went by what are in the older books and that was all, you would never advise doing a lot of things that are very helpful today, yes? I don’t recomend them that often anyway, altough I do use them personally. I usually only advise them if someone specifically requests gemstones. There method of use is specific and you can’t throw one on and your life changes… they have to be engaged… for more details about the history or lack thereof of gemstones astrologically… please see this course… http://www.vedic-astrology.net/Courses/Gems-Course.asp?PARTNER=TVA
Hi Ryan,
While super imposing two kundli.
We have to super impose planets as per houses or rashis.
Thanks
Hemant
Thanks you it’s really usefull, please continue your work ! ❤
Are there any In person classes? I am more of an in person type learner. Due to an over stimulation of emfs, I do not like to be in front of the computer for too long. I really want to learn but It seems everyone just offers online now.
Yes, sometimes I do in person classes. last weekend I did 24 hours here in Asheville in front of an Ayurveda class. Internet is so popular because its easier to reach more people without having to go anywhere. It’s also more cost effective.
thank you, also what classes should i start with If I am a beginner. I am looking to make this a major study in my life and go deep into it. So I am looking for any classes that can help me build a strong foundation in vedic astrology.
I would start with the Astrological Principles I, II and III classes from the downloadable classes.
Very informative videos🙏🏽 thank you
