What is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic astrology, or Jyotish, is the ancient Indian system of astrology that dates back thousands of years. Unlike Western astrology which uses the tropical zodiac, Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, accounting for the precession of equinoxes.
Key Components of a Birth Chart
A Vedic birth chart (Kundli) includes the Lagna (ascendant), 12 houses, 9 planets (including Rahu and Ketu), and 27 Nakshatras. Each element provides unique insights into personality, destiny, and life events.
Getting Started
Begin by obtaining your accurate birth chart with correct date, time, and place of birth. Consult with a qualified Vedic astrologer to understand your chart and learn how planetary periods (Dashas) influence different phases of your life.
