What is Vedic Astrology?

Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish (Science of Light), is the ancient astrological system of India, dating back over 5,000 years. Unlike Western astrology which uses the Tropical zodiac (based on seasons), Vedic astrology uses the Sidereal zodiac (based on fixed stars).

This creates a difference of approximately 24 degrees (Ayanamsa) between the two systems. Your "Western" Sun sign might shift back one sign in your Vedic chart, revealing a different layer of your soul's blueprint.

Key Components

★ Sidereal Zodiac: Aligned with the actual constellations in the sky, offering a more astronomical perspective.
★ Nakshatras: 27 Lunar Mansions that provide incredibly precise insights into your emotional nature and destiny.
★ Dasha System: A unique predictive timeline system that shows exactly when planetary periods will activate events in your life.
★ Varga Charts: Divisional charts (like Navamsa D9) that zoom into specific areas of life like marriage, career, and spiritual growth.

The Importance of the Moon

In Vedic Astrology, the Moon (Chandra) is often considered more important than the Sun. It represents your mind, emotions, and perception. Your Moon Nakshatra is key to understanding your inner world.

The Timeless Wisdom of Vedic Astrology

Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish ("The Science of Light"), is an ancient system rooted in the Vedas, India's sacred texts. Unlike Western astrology, which is season-based, Vedic astrology is stellar-based, offering a precise astronomical map of your soul's karma and destiny.

Sidereal vs. Tropical: A Shift in Perspective

The most significant difference lies in the zodiac used. Vedic astrology uses the Sidereal Zodiac, which aligns with the actual constellations in the night sky. This often results in your planets shifting back by approximately 24 degrees compared to your Western chart, revealing a deeper, more spiritual layer of your identity.

Nakshatras & Dashas: Precision Timing

Two jewels of this system are the Nakshatras (27 Lunar Mansions) and the Dasha System. Nakshatras provide incredibly detailed psychological insights, while Dashas act as a cosmic clock, predicting exactly when specific life events—like career shifts or relationships—are likely to unfold.
