Tropical vs Vedic/Sidereal astrology

In my first post, I spoke a bit on how astrology works scientifically, and therefore why I use the tropical system. This post will go a little further into why, but I will re-paste the relevant parts from my first part here.

First, however, I would like to make it clear that when I am referring to Vedic astrology, I am referring to the common understanding of vedic astrology today which is the system which uses sidereal positioning. But Vedic astrology DOES NOT necessarily equal Sidereal. There are Vedic astrologers (though few, and will be expanded upon later) which use the tropical system. I am, however, using this post to explain why I do not use Vedic astrology as it is largely understood today; based on Sidereal system. I am simply not proficient enough to talk about Vedic techniques and principles as understood removed from its popular Sidereal understanding. So to reiterate, this is not a post against Vedic techniques or Vedas and such, but why I do not follow how it is commonly perceived and practised today.

Sidereal vs Tropical rundown

✎ Sidereal astrology accounts for the precession of the equinoxes, i.e. it relies on where the actual constellations have moved to from our perspective on earth. If you use a sky map app and point it to the sky it will tell you the exact constellation above, that is sidereal positioning.

✎ Tropical astrology does not do this, it uses the divison of the ecliptic exactly how it was thousands of years ago of where the sun was at the vernal equinox - Aries. It is thus based on the seasons.

The science behind astrology - why constellations do not matter (excerpt form my main post):

: ̗̀➛ Astrology has NOTHING to do with the physical constellations. Astrology is based on the signs on the ecliptic (the path of the sun amongst the constellations, which is the plane of the earth's orbit).

: ̗̀➛ The equator has 15 constellations, and the ecliptic has 13. So why do we have 12 zodiac signs? This is because babylonians divided the ecliptic into 12 equal segments of 30 degrees each thousands of years ago. The ecliptic was divided into SIGNS. 12 constellations were just used to identify where in the sky each sign would be, at the time for ease of astronomical mapping/calculation - it is merely symbolic. This is why Opphiuchus is not the 13th Zodiac SIGN, although it is a constellation.

: ̗̀➛ Another reason why they are not based off the physical constellations is because the actual size of the constellations vary massively in size. Below is a representation of this:

: ̗̀➛ As you can see, Virgo, for instance is huge, and on a literal view overlaps into the next segment because the constellations do not all equally fit a 30 degree division. Yet, we do not give scorpio like 5 days for its season, because the physical constellation does not dictate anything meaningful.

This gives us the tropical zodiac, which is to do with the earth's seasons:

: ̗̀➛ The solstices are therefore reference points for Capricorn and Cancer (tropic of capricorn and tropic of cancer), not the constellations themselves. Accordingly, the spring equinox is marked by Aries (with the sun entering the segment of Aries at 0 degrees until 29), and the autumn equinox by Libra. Even though in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun entering Aries is an autumnal equinox, ithe fact remains it is still about the seasons (i.e. what the sun does, maintaining its universal application).

: ̗̀➛ The precession of the equinoxes, are therefore irrelevant to astrology (and this is why vedic/sidereal is, in my opinion inaccurate). The slow change of the direction of the earth's axial tilt, over around 26000 years, cause a precession of the equinoxes. This means, the segment of the sky that used to be identified by the Aries constellation from the earth's position at the time, is now looking at Pisces. But as we know, astrology has nothing to do with the physical location of the constellations. Vedic astrologers use sidereal positioning, aka taking into account the precession of the equinoxes, yet they still divide the ecliptic in the same way. This causes problems, leading to many branches in vedic because few agree on where aries actually even starts.

The problems with Sidereal positioning - its all about the sun!

✣ As described in my first post ( i'd really recommend u read it ngl lol), astrology is symbolic, and its entire foundation is based off the sun. It is the sun which gives us life -> therefore it represents our vitality, creativity, identity etc (as opposed to the rising sign which is our personality, who we are, etc and filtered through our chart ruler). Everything comes back down to this SOLAR-based system -> equinox to equinox. Nothing to do with the constellations.

✣ Moreover, the signs are grouped into the 3 modalities, which all represent the suns status (symbolic significations are interpretated separately depending on the sign but generally the groups represents what the sun is doing). The sign which it currently objectively is passing through bears no significance. E.g:

-> Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricon = Cardinal = sun is crossing the equator when crossing Aries or Libra. When crossing cancer the sun is moving from setting north to south, and vice versa when going through Capricorn. Moving forward, fresh change. -> Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius = Fixed = sun is in the middle of the season it is in, it is 'fixed' and maintaining. -> Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces = Mutable = sun is transforming by going through the end of its season, undoing and release before the next season starts with the cardinal signs.

✣ Because the position of the constellation depends on where on earth you view it from, there is no obejctive consensus on where Aries even starts. This had led to varying branches of sidereal astrology such as Lahiri, Raman, Krishnamurti Paddhati, and some western takes on Sidereal positioning like Fagan-Bradley. These branches are symptomatic of being overly pedantic by concentrating on the constellations themselves.

✣ Finally, Vic Di Cara is a famous and rare example of a modern day Vedic astrologer who uses the tropical system. Seems blasphemous, but he delves into some irrefutable points on ancient India's use of the tropical system which I will paste below but I really encourage you to read it. Tldr it is still about the sun (surprise suprise):

"The foundational texts of Indian Astrology unanimously and explicitly define the zodiac based on solstices and equinoxes (i.e. tropical). On the other hand, they also unanimously define the nakshatra based on stars (i.e. sidereal). The current difference between the two - the solstices (ayana) and their marker stars - is described as "ayanamsha." Problem: For many centuries Indian astrologers have applied ayanāṁśa to both the nakshatra and the zodiac - fuseing the two and divorcing the zodiac from its tropical anchors. Solution: Reform... which requires patience, clarity, contemplation and humility from all parties."

CRUCIALLY:

I hope this cleared up any confusions on sidereal vs tropical astrology, and has helped informed your decision on choosing which system to use! I will advise, though, not to mix the systems. This is a common belief for good reason; you would not mix two different languages in a sentence.

What is the difference between Western and Vedic Astrology?

Western astrology is based on the tropical zodiacs while Vedic astrology is based on the sidereal zodiacs. The difference between the tropical and sidereal systems is the point of reference from where the earth starts and ends the revolution around the sun.

The Earth completes one revolution around the sun in 365.5 days - this is the assumption used by the tropical system i.e Western astrology. It is based on the seasons and coincides with the vernal equinox - the first day of spring - 20th March - marks the beginning of first zodiac - Aries. In sidereal system, the fixed stars in the sky are the point of reference. It counts the wobbling effect of earth due to it's own rotation, and revolution around the sun and the fact that the earth is not a perfect sphere. Hence, it won't perfectly complete one cycle in 365.5 days and there will be a slight shift. The effective shift is 1 degree every 72 years. Right now the difference between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs is approximately 24 degree and 10 minutes. As each zodiac spans 30 degrees in a chart, the shift in zodiac signs between Western and Vedic is of 1 sign. So if your sun sign is Gemini as per Western (Tropical) astrology, it would be Taurus (one sign before Gemini) as per Vedic (Sidereal) astrology. In addition to the difference in the diagrammatic representation of the 2 systems - their usages also differ significantly. Both systems are equally valid systems. Vedic astrology is more predictive in nature and is well indicative of the events in an individual's life while Western astrology is more appropriate for behavioral and psychological analysis. It can also be applied to predict financial matters like stock markets.

WESTERN ASTROLOGY – THE ORIGINS AND FACTS ABOUT WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Western astrology is a system of divination based on the position of the planets and stars at the time of a person’s birth. It has its roots in ancient Babylonian astronomy and was later developed by the Greeks and Romans. Western astrology uses a zodiac system that divides the sky into twelve sections, each represented by a different astrological sign. Each sign is associated with certain characteristics and traits, and the position of the planets and stars at the time of a person’s birth is believed to influence their personality, relationships, and life path. Western astrology can be used for personal guidance, relationship compatibility, and even predicting future events. While some people view it as a form of entertainment, others take it very seriously and use it as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth.

Difference Between Vedic Astrology vs Western Astrology | Monkvyasa

Differences between Vedic astrology and western astrology

There are two primary forms of astrology: Western (additionally referred to as tropical astrology) and Vedic (additionally referred to as sidereal astrology). The fundamental contrasts between the 2 traditions are tested in this article.

Calculating the Positions of the Planets and StarsThe Sidereal Method of

Although Western astrology can be traced back to the civilizations of Ancient Egypt and Greece, astrology became practised a long time before those civilizations existed.

Indian astrologers have historically computed planetary positions through the use of the constant positions of the celebs within the sky. Various constellations have been hired to degree the motion of the planets down the ecliptic in the same way that the pole star has usually been used to set up proper North.

However, because of equinox precession, Indian astrologers needed to alternate their calculations to keep up with the famous people’s positions. As a result, their device is known as sidereal, or famous person-primarily based.

The Tropical Method

In 285 B.C., Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, proposed a simplified method of calculating the motions of the planets. He stated that every planet orbited the Sun at a steady velocity. Ptolemy calculated the positions of all of the different planets via a means of watching the precise timings of the autumn and spring equinoxes, in addition to the icy and summertime solstices.

Ptolemy, therefore, installed what’s now referred to as the tropical technique in Western astrology, or decoding planetary placements primarily based on the Sun’s adventure from the equator to every one of the tropics.

It simply so befell that the Sidereal and Tropical strategies had been flawlessly aligned in India at the time. However, in contemporary-day Sidereal astrology, the correction adjustment is around 24 tiers or almost a complete signal of the zodiac.

What’s Included in a Horoscope?

Another notable difference between Vedic and Western astrology is the inclusion of planets and stars in a horoscope. The following is a listing of what’s usually taken into consideration in each system:

Vedic Astrology

The Sun

The Moon

Mars

Mercury

Jupiter

Venus

Saturn

Rahu

Ketu

27 special Nakshatras, or Lunar Mansions,

Western Astrology

The Sun

The Moon

Mars

Mercury

Jupiter

Venus

Saturn

Uranus

Neptune

Pluto

Asteroids, including Ceres, Juno, and Vesta, and the comet Chiron

Following the planet Saturn, the listing starts to diverge. For example, the Nakshatras are an extraordinary feature of Vedic astrology. These are the “lunar mansions,” or wonderful companies of stars that the moon passes through in its manner across the earth. Each one is alleged to have a wonderful personality, in addition to wonderful strengths and weaknesses, much like the separate zodiac signs.

In addition, Vedic astrologers hold music of the “shadow planets” Rahu and Ketu, which can be said to be accountable for eclipses. In Western astrology, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are used to symbolize obsession, rebellion, and ailment in preference to Rahu and Ketu

Which is more accurate vedic or western astrology

Modern western astrologers are more psychologically oriented. Modern western astrology is being majorly used to define a person’s characteristics based on their birth date.

Vedic astrology gives us insight into karma and the drama of a person by being a torchbearer to the concepts of past life’s effects, karmic debts, challenges, and purpose for the present life.

VEDIC ASTRO NOTES #2

by veronicawildewest

(disclaimer: if you get it, you get it. If you don't, go fv' k yourselves)

🖍️ 1st lord connected to 6th house (Vedic astrology) - The characteristics you dislike the most in your enemy, the same behavior you have, but you don't notice it in yourself. Me VS myself is the theme of these natives. (I can attest to this; I have this placement personally. I just realized it and am working on myself)

🖍️What I often see in Vedic astrology texts is that Venus Ketu is disinterested in love, which I find ridiculous. Venus Ketu natives are some of the most intense people I know when it comes to love, obsessive to the point that they have a hard time letting go. Maybe it's because Venus aspects Rahu even though Venus is conjunct Ketu. Ketu will not work without Rahu (and vice versa).

🖍️When transit Saturn aspects one of your luminaries, there are two possibilities I can think of:

Saturn will make you feel the consequences of every decision you make.

You will also experience situations where you need to use dedication/hard work wherever Saturn transits in your natal chart.

🖍️I can't understand the stereotypical "tropical Virgos are hardworking." No, they're not, especially Purva Phalguni Nakshatra.

🖍️However, some stereotypes I understand are why "tropical Scorpios are dark, mysterious, and possessive." They are Sidereal Libra. That's the characteristic of Venus. Fixation on the other half? Venus. Specifically on the Nakshatras, Vishakha Nakshatra.

🖍️The stereotypes that I understand are:

"Why (tropical) Geminis are so charming?" The nakshatras Mrigashira and Rohini are connected to obsession. They have many stalkers (or some of them stalk, but either way, they have many more stalkers).

"Why (tropical) Cancers are known to be manipulative?" Because of the sidereal Gemini. Mercury rules manipulation. It's the Magician for a reason. The motherly aspect and crybaby behavior are because of the teardrop symbolism of the Ardra and the Aditi deity of the nakshatra Punarvasu.

🖍️While discovering and learning about Vedic astrology, I appreciate Western astrology more, not because I hate Vedic (I love both of them). It's just that some stereotypes have been made about tropical/Western astrology, which I listed above. They're not biased (well, it depends on the person, but the system itself isn't) because they explain and intertwine things that I find really interesting and beautiful.

🖍️Additional note to the observation that I made about the Rahu-Ketu axis and trends. The quarantine started when Gemini/Sagittarius and Taurus/Scorpio were in the nodes. It really makes sense to me why TikTok grew in popularity over that time because of Gemini (attention span thing). The Taurus/Scorpio thing represents the finances of countries that are affected when it comes to it (the obvious one is transformation because Scorpio is here). Also, Joe Biden was elected as the President of the U.S.A.

When Rahu is in Aries/Ketu in Libra transits:

Queen Elizabeth died. (sidereal Aries sun)

SZA dropped an album. One of her songs is "Kill Bill," very influenced by Bharani nakshatra (credits to Claire).

🖍️I know they have a placement of Aries and Libra, but these are the topics that are the talk of the town and memorable when you start remembering the year.

🖍️Vedic Twitter is weird. Sometimes, on the other hand, some of their observations really make sense. The weird thing that I found is the romanticization of Moon-Mars synastry. I have this with someone (I am the Moon person). I really hated it. They made me trigger anger in me. Not lust, but pure rage that I don't really like expressing.

🖍️The petty ones that I know are moon nakshatra natives (Rohini, Hasta, Shravana). I just don't agree that (I found someone tweeted about it) Moon nakshatra women are "girl's girl," "support nice women." Eh no, not that they hate other women but no. They just don't, and that's ok. They don't hate women, but they don't support it either if that makes sense (if you get it, you get it)

Additional note to this: Ironically, Hasta is the maiden archetype of nuns (that Claire Nakti mentions in her video), but they're the horniest ones I know too.

🖍️I love that Tropical Sagittariuses are known to be happy, free, and wild (looking directly at Miley Cyrus because she has a sidereal Scorpio stellium). It makes much more sense when Mars is at home in Scorpio. These natives are blunt too. The "darkness" that makes Scorpio a Scorpio is the transformation and hardships they've gone through. Different from Libra though.

🖍️9th house/12th house/Jupiter aren't appreciated as much by me. They're literally about beliefs. Your subconscious/unconscious self. Connection to manifestation for me. That's why they oppose the mercurial signs (magician) and mutable signs. They speak (3rd house)/act (6th house) on what they fear (12th house) or believe (9th house).

It's applicable for all people, you literally don't need a strong Jupiter/Jupiter Rashi to manifest easily.

Top 5 differences in Western & Vedic Astrology

Number 5

Vedic astrology is based on the Sidereal zodiac, while Western astrology is based on the Tropical zodiac. This means that the Vedic zodiac is aligned with the actual constellations in the sky, while the Western zodiac is based on the seasons. This can impact the accuracy of predictions, as the Sidereal zodiac is a more accurate representation of the cosmos

Number 4

Vedic astrology emphasizes the role of the planets, while Western astrology emphasizes the role of the Sun and the Moon. This means that Vedic astrology is more concerned with the material world and the effects of the planets on human beings, while Western astrology is more concerned with the spiritual world and the effects of the Sun and Moon on human beings

Number 3

Vedic astrology uses the Moon as its main reference point, while Western astrology uses the Sun. This means that the Vedic system is more attuned to the emotions and the unconscious mind, while the Western system is more attuned to the ego and the conscious mind

Number 2

Vedic astrology is more predictive in nature, while Western astrology is more interpretive. This means that Vedic astrologers are more likely to make specific predictions about the future, while Western astrologers are more likely to interpret the birth chart in terms of the individual's personality and potential

Number 1

Vedic astrology is more fatalistic in its outlook, while Western astrology is more optimistic. This means that Vedic astrology is more likely to emphasize the role of destiny and karma, while Western astrology is more likely to emphasize the role of free will and personal choice

Quick facts: Vedic users are majority Indian and they do use Astrology to seriously match themselves to others for marriage while in Western Europe, US, Canada, & Australia, & New Zealand they're more likely following Western Astrology and they do not use it to match themselves for any sort of arranged marriage and mostly use Western Astrology to play a novelty in their dating lives as per the end the Western followers do see free choice as a main force unlike Vedic followers.

[whimsicalpoet44]

hi! i just disovered your blog and it's so cool x could you tell me a bit about the difference between western and sidereal charts? in my western chart around 60% of the planets/asteroids are in capricorn and in sidereal the same planets are in sagittarius. i don't feel like a capricorn at all.

also, could you tell me more about what it means to have asteroid aphrodite in taurus, 10H please? or medusa in cap, 5H, whatever you prefer? (going by my sidereal chart.)

Aw thank you so much!! :)

To anyone reading: if you don't want to read the differences of Sidereal vs. Tropical, skip down to the bottom for info on asteroid Aphrodite and Medusa.

Sidereal vs. Tropical

So, I'll admit that I'm new to sidereal astrology.

So, I can't speak on what everything means. But I do know the main differences between the two types. (I'm in the process of learning though. I hope to know more about it so I can feel confident talking on it).

I also hope to talk about this respectfully since Sidereal has a cultural component to it. If I'm incorrect with any of this, please feel free to correct me. I'm a believer in being a life long student (it's the Sag placements), so I want to be as respectful and accurate as possible.

I'm also open to anyone sending in a better description, which I can post and credit you/link your account. I just want to make sure everyone gets correct information.

Sidereal astrology is measured from the fixed stars of the ecliptic constellations.

To make things simple, the sky is always shifting. The earth "wobbles" (also known as the precession of the equinoxes) and Sidereal accounts for these shifts and the wobble. That's the simplest way I can explain it, but it's so much more complex than that. But definitely do more research.

I could be wrong, but I want to say the interpretations of the signs in Sidereal aren't exactly the same as tropical, so that could be a factor as to why you don't resonate with it. I've also heard that a lot of people don't truly resonate until they learn how to read sidereal.

I highly suggest getting your information from individuals who specialize in Sidereal. Try to stay away from sources that water down/westernize Sidereal astrology or sources that don't explain the history/cultural component to Sidereal astrology.

Vedic astrology is based on Sidereal. It has its roots in Hinduism and it's important to understand its history to respect where it originated from and the culture. When I research Vedic, I always remember this.

Western astrology (also known as Tropical astrology) uses seasons (Vernal Equinox).

Essentially, Western astrology looks at where the sun was at on the calendar a couple thousand years ago. It doesn't account for the shifts.

Here''s a link that talks about the science behind it.

This link also has a pretty good explanation.

(The link is concise and easy to understand, however I don't like using the NY Post for Astrology information, but I think it's a good basic intro)

Some people are really passionate about choosing one or the other. I'm more of the belief that a person should stick with whatever they're most comfortable with (but obviously being open minded to learn new info as it's presented) or which one resonates more. I believe every chart serves a purpose and can be accurate if read correctly. So, I'll probably use both once I learn.

I'm also learning Draconic astrology, too. I find they all fit in their own way.

There's a lot of discourse about Sidereal being more accurate. And there are a lot of people who feel very strongly about this. Which, that's their practice and it's based on their experience, which is valid. I don't think anyone is "incorrect" per say. (Unless they're watering it down and rooting it in toxic depictions of new ageism. Which is a whole other topic in of itself, but I digress).

There's also a debate in Tropical astrology with modern vs traditional astrology as well. There's just a lot of discourse altogether. So do what feels right for you!!! Just research research research. As you get more experience, you'll figure out where you fall, what you like, etc.

I'm more objective. I like to look at it all with each of their original purposes in mind. Part of that is understanding how each came to be. But I can't say for sure if one is or isn't more "correct" because of my limited knowledge on Sidereal.

Asteroid Aphrodite (1388)

This asteroid has a lot of themes similar to Venus. It's name is coined for the Greek goddess, Aphrodite. The Goddess of Love.

There isn't a lot of information readily available on this asteroid without digging. But basically, Asteroid Aphrodite can depict your allure, beauty, and your sexual attraction. It mainly deals with outward appearance.

Aphrodite in Taurus in the 10th House

You'll likely appear very sophisticated, organized and put together to others. Earth toned colors likely look best on you.

You might enjoy vintage, classy, or business casual fashion. Necklaces could be a great accessory.

You like comfortable fashion and enjoy having your senses engaged.

You might feel most powerful and goddess-like in work settings or settings where you feel most comfortable.

This is how you'll create the air of allure around you.

Medusa Asteroid (149)

There's not a lot of info out there on this one either. But how I understand it, this asteroid deals with themes surrounding healing, betrayal, and isolation. It's based on the Greek story of Medusa.

It shows us where we've been cast aside or scapegoated. It's where we're blamed for things we did not do.

It can also show us where we can access power to deter others from hurting us. (leaving them 'frozen in fear,' just like the myth)

Medusa in Capricorn in the 5th House

You might experience a lot of misplaced blame in the work place. When you step into your power, you can be a strong leader that others don't want to anger.

You could also struggle with themes of responsibility and completion of goals.

Romance could be a point of contention. You might be forced to do some inner child healing. Once you begin healing, you could find a lot of power through it. You might even choose a career in a healing or helping field.

**Just my interpretation based on how I understand these placements. Others could have a different interpretation**

I hope this answered your question. And I hope this was easy to understand and follow!!!

wellll its hard to make an assumption like that based mostly on his tropical aries venus placement... idk if you're familiar with sidereal astrology but his venus is in pisces (uttarabhadra) which is saturn ruled i'd say he pretty loyal even if he might lose interest fast/take time to find the right person

oh that's an interesting insight.

see, i do know of sidereal astrology but i gotta say, my knowledge on it is more limited compared to tropical astrology. especially for my "as a boyfriend" readings, i focus more on the combo of their tropical natal chart + tarot, which more often than not validates the insights their tropical venus placement gives me. as an example, i got the knight of wands and the devil rx for jungwon more than once, which both point to the flighty and less committed attitude in him. very aries. (i def do see him sticking to the one he loves once he finds them tho! it'll just take more time than the others)

still, i appreciate you giving me food for thought with that, i actually didn't think of it weirdly enough. ☺️ the whole vedic vs western astrology debate has always been confusing me i gotta say, since the signs completely change depending on what chart you look at. till now, i've stuck to western astrology and felt it went in line with my readings very well. but obviously, this is up to everyone's own preference.

ok i'm an astrologer and i think it's counterintuitive to blindly slander aquarians. we can't make moral judgments of harry based off his birth chart alone, especially because we don't have his consent/participation. that's just not how astrology works. natal charts aren't like, you look at it and you get an exact read of that person as a human being. we don't know what time he was born and that'll change the houses and the degrees of each of his placements, thus affecting how each planet interacts. there are different ways of generating a birth chart (ex: placidus vs whole sign) which would further affect the outcome of the reading. astrologers don't typically just generally read ppl, they work off of questions from their clients as well. that's why we'd need his participation to understand what the chart means in the context of his actual existence.

also, there are different zodiacs. using the tropical (mostly used in western astrology) zodiac, he's a big aquarius with some generational planets in earth/water placements. in sidereal (used in vedic aka hindu astrology and also non-secularly) he's mostly capricorn with a pretty solid balance of other earth/air/fire placements. the only thing i think we can say with confidence in respect to his natal chart is that he's saturnian as fuck no matter how you look at it. his tropical chart is also very plutonian and uranian, so it's a lot of repulsive (like magnets, not like gross) energy. he's magnetic but he's internally repulsed by people. don't know why because i can't get deeper into the chart without an accurate birth time!

just wanted to share because i see a lot of people saying he's trash for being an aquarius but astrology just isn't that black and white, and tbh you shouldn't trust any "astrologer" that presents information that way.

#i have no idea what this means but i’ll post for those who are interested! #thank you nonnie <3 #also very true about the fanfic thing #that’s how they imagine their own version of harry lmao

WHAT IS VEDIC ASTROLOGY? – THE ORIGINS OF VEDIC ASTROLOGY

What is Vedic Astrology? it also known as Jyotish, is an ancient system of astrology that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is a form of astrology that emphasizes the connection between the individual and the cosmos, and the influence of the planets and stars on our lives. Vedic Astrology is based on the Sidereal Zodiac, which takes into account the position of the planets and stars at the time of an individual’s birth. This system is also deeply rooted in Hinduism, with many of its practices and beliefs being closely tied to Vedic texts and teachings. Vedic Astrology is unique in its approach, as it not only provides insights into an individual’s personality and life path but also offers guidance on how to navigate life’s challenges and achieve success and fulfillment. Over the centuries, Vedic Astrology has continued to evolve and adapt to modern times, making it a valuable tool for those seeking spiritual guidance and insight into their lives.
