What is Vedic Astrology?

Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish Shastra, is the traditional Hindu system of astrology with origins dating back over 5,000 years to the Vedic period of India. Unlike Western astrology, Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac aligned with the fixed stars and incorporates unique concepts like Nakshatras (lunar mansions), Dasha systems, and specialized divisional charts.

The core components include the 9 Grahas (planets including Rahu and Ketu), 12 Rashis (zodiac signs), 27 Nakshatras (lunar constellations), and 12 Bhavas (houses). Through careful analysis of these elements in a birth chart (Kundli), Vedic astrology provides insights into personality, life events, relationships, career, and spiritual growth.
