What Is Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrology is the ancient astrology of India, also known in Sanskrit as Jyotiṣh. Jyotish means light, and it is the sacred art and science of the lights in the sky, as well as the light within ourselves. Rooted in India’s system of knowledge called the Vedas, Vedic Astrology can be traced back as early as 10,000 BC. It is based on the belief that the stars and planets have a powerful influence on our lives and contain rich spiritual traditions and myths of Indian culture.

According to Vedic Astrology, there are 27 constellations made up of 12 zodiac signs, 12 houses, and 9 planets, with each house and planet representing some aspect of human life. Depending on when a person is born, the signs and planets are placed in various houses. This visual representation of the snapshot of the signs and planets is called a horoscope.

Vedic Astrology was initially used to identify dates for rituals and over time, became a tool to understand our own destiny. It provides guidance when we feel lost or confused on life’s journey. Astrology is essentially about light, because, as the old saying goes, “when there is no light, there is no life.” And when there is light, it helps see through our soul.
