Vedic astrology called Jyotish, the "Science of Light" has flourished in India for several thousand years. As one of the true ancient systems of astrology, Vedic or Hindu astrology is renowned for its spiritual depth and accuracy in predicting future events.
Influence of the Planets
Each planet has a unique characteristic and energy and its movements create forces that influence our daily life. The exact position of each planet at the moment of birth is intimately related to our personality. An experienced Vedic Astrologer can correctly describe one’s character, personality, inclinations, talents, and areas of success. Among other things, he can also help in determining an appropriate career or partnership and help prepare one for overcoming obstacles.
How does Vedic Astrology differ from Western Astrology?
Vedic Astrology is based on the Sidereal Zodiac as opposed to the Vernal Zodiac of Western Astrology. Vedic/Sidereal Astrology uses the fixed observable stars in the sky whereas Western Astrology is more time based, determining the beginning of the zodiac as corresponding to the start of the Vernal Equinox
In Vedic Astrology more emphasis is placed on the Moon than on the Sun. The moon represents the mind which is seen as the agency of perception and consequently is a major determining factor in how one interacts with the world.
Vedic Astrology is also sometimes called constellation astrology because it takes into account fixed stars called constellations. As a result, one considers not only the influence of the planets in a sign but also the subtle influences exercised by the constellations. This means that when a planet passes through a sign, it expresses the influence of the sign and is also tempered by the influence of the constellations of the sign.
Benefits
One of the greatest benefits of Jyotish is that it gives us the opportunity to understand ourselves better as well as a new perspective with which we can make appropriate decisions in our lives.
