Vedic Astrology

 Vedic astrology is the study of divine information about human affairs and earthly events and the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies. Vedic astrology dates back at least to the second millennium and its origins lie in calendar systems, which are used to predict seasonal changes and to interpret the celestial cycle as a symbol of divine communication.

Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrology refers to Indian or Hindu astrology, which originated in ancient India and has been recorded in the Vedic texts. Also known as "astrology" - optics - Vedic astrology deals with subtle light patterns that we think determine our destiny.

Fundamentals of Vedic Astrology

The basic premise of this astrology is that all things are connected. Your ritual or destiny is determined by a predetermined cosmic design. You are the soul embodied in the body at a certain time and place, and your life is more of a reflection of the whole of which you were born, as flowers bloom at times when all conditions are perfectly natural. According to the karmic principle, our birth on this planet is the same.

VEDIC ASTROLOGY CHART

By reading Heaven's chart for the time and place of your birth, Vedic astrologers claim to know a lot about you. Planetary position is taken in a real star-based zodiac and your "phase" (predictive) is set. Your Vedic astrology chart will reflect most of your real life and your circumstances will work just as they should. The Vedic astrologer looks at these planets, signs and places in your chart and can "see" your personality as well as the good and bad times in your life. The use of circumstance determines when "when" events occur in life. In  vedic astrology, the main factor is your chart. This is a planetary map of the zodiac signs. The charts are placed in a precise location on the earth based on the exact moment. Therefore, the moment you were born and where you were born, there is a chart called your "birth chart" or "natal chart".

Importance of Vedic Astrology

Dasha gives more precise accuracy to Vedic astrology. These "planetary regimes" that are unique to this system provide a tool for Vedic astrologers to accurately predict trends, changes and events in your life with surprising accuracy. Therefore, Vedic astrologers are less limited to talk about your common lineage and can think more deeply about what is going on in your life.

How is Vedic Astrology different from Western Astrology?

Vedic astrology differs mainly from Western or tropical astrology in that it uses a fixed zodiac as opposed to a moving zodiac. Because of the Earth's gradual inclination on its axis, the zodiac, if you calculate it from Earth's relationship with the Sun, appears to be moving at a slower rate than 1/60 degrees per year. Currently, the relative or moving zodiac is 23 degrees away from the stationary or actual star-based zodiac (which is from the alignment), which is an almost complete sign of the zodiac. Because the two systems are skewed by virtually the entire sign of each other, most people have a "sun mark" —a sign you redefine every day, usually when used to chart Vedic astrology. So, the first surprise of using the Vedic system is that you are no longer associated with the Sun sign you thought. However, if you were born in the last five days of the Western Sign month, you are probably the same sign in the Vedic system.
