Vedic Astrology Basics
Discover the ancient wisdom of Vedic astrology and understand the cosmic forces that shape your destiny.
What is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic Astrology, also known as Jyotish (the science of light), is an ancient Indian system of astrology that has been practiced for over 5,000 years. It is based on the belief that the positions and movements of celestial bodies at the time of birth influence human life and destiny.
Unlike Western astrology, Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which accounts for the precession of the equinoxes. This makes Vedic astrology more accurate in its predictions and interpretations.
The system is deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy and incorporates concepts of karma, dharma, and moksha, providing not just predictions but also guidance for spiritual growth and life purpose.
