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.
