What is Vedic astrology?

Vedic astrology (Jyotish Shastra) is an ancient Indian system of astrology that uses the sidereal zodiac aligned with actual star positions. It analyzes planetary positions at the time of birth to provide insights into personality, karma, relationships, and life purpose.

How is Vedic astrology different from Western astrology?

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac (based on actual star positions), while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac (based on seasons). Vedic astrology also incorporates 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), dasha systems for timing predictions, and divisional charts for detailed analysis.

What are the main topics in Vedic astrology?

The main topics include: 12 Rashis (zodiac signs), 9 Grahas (planets including Sun, Moon, and Rahu/Ketu), 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions), 12 Bhavas (houses), and Panchang elements (Tithi, Yoga, Karana). Together these form the foundation for chart interpretation.
