About Vedic Astrology
Vedic Astrology may be called Indian astrology or Jyotish.About Vedic Astrology
Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish, originated from the Vedic Scriptures in India dating back over 6,000 years. The world´s most ancient scriptures give evidence of a culture rich in the arts, philosophy, religion, and science. ‘Jyotish’, “eye of the Vedas” was first mentioned in the Rig Veda, and references were also made in the classical Indian epics, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the classic Bhagavad-Gita.
The origins of Jyotish are from the Vedantas, along with Yoga and Ayurveda and the great spiritual teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.
“The great sages of that time in India passed it on through oral traditions that continued to the present time.
Jyotish is said to be the Eye of the Vedas to illuminate our lives.
Vedic astrology is a spiritual science that shows the soul’s progress towards liberation or Moksha through the cycle of rebirth.
The astrological birth chart shows the exact karma that the soul has chosen to experience in this life to continue its evolution.”
How is Vedic Astrology Different to Western Astrology?
Vedic astrology is Moon based while Western astrology is Sun based astrology.
Vedic astrology is Sidereal (the Fixed star system), whereas Western astrology is the Tropical or Moving star system. 0 BC the two systems were in unison, but since then the Tropical system has moved away from the Sidereal position of planets, by more than 23 degrees. This means that a chart drawn up by a Western astrologer will vary by 23 degrees compared to one drawn up by a Vedic astrologer. The Vedic Sidereal chart gives the accurate position of the planets according to present day astronomy, and is not subject to movement. This has significant implications on the formation of the chart and interpretation.

Generally the outer planets of Uranus, Neptune or Pluto or any other meteorites are not used by Vedic astrologers.
Vedic astrology is an accurate spiritual science, as it uses the ACTUAL scientific location of the planets of your birth in your chart. This means that for many people a Western chart will have a different chart to their Vedic Astrology chart, according to the date of the month they were born. This means they won’t be in the Sun sign they thought they were.
Astrology is a cosmic map of the moment of birth for each soul. The arrangements of planets over the place and time of birth form the Vedic astrology chart which is a symbolic map showing the soul’s journey on its path through the cycle of life towards awakening.

Testimonial
“I must say I didn’t really know what I was getting into when I started the course, but I was soon blown away by being steeped in a whole new way of thinking. I feel like my mind has been stretched in so many ways. It has changed me in that I see myself and my world differently. A whole new perspective. Dare I say, I think I am a little kinder to myself and others. Well worth it.”
