Vedic Astrology

Traditionally we go in for astrology for any occasion in India as per the Hindu believe which is known as Jyotisha or Jyotish from Sanskrit is the traditional Hindu system of astronomy and astrology. Also known as Hindu astrology, more recently Vedic astrology It has three branches The foundation of Hindu astrology is the notion of bandhu of the Vedas, (scriptures), which is the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Practice relies primarily on the sidereal zodiac, which is different from the tropical zodiac used in Western (Hellenistic) astrology in that an adjustment is made for the gradual precession of the vernal equinox. Hindu astrology includes several nuanced sub-systems of interpretation and prediction with elements not found in Hellenistic astrology, such as its system of lunar mansions Nakshatra. Astrology remains an important facet in the lives of many Hindus. In Hindu culture, newborns are traditionally named based on their charts, and astrological concepts are pervasive in the organization of the calendar and holidays as well as in many areas of life, such as in making decisions made about marriage, opening a new business, and moving into a new home. Astrology retains a position among the sciences in modern India The term Hindu astrology had been in use as the English equivalent of Astrology since the early 19th century. Vedic astrology is a relatively recent term, entering common usage in the 1980s with self-help publications on Ayurveda or Yoga. The qualifier Vedic is however something of a misnomer as there is no mention of in the Vedas, and historical documentation suggests horoscopic astrology in the Indian subcontinent was a Hellenic influence post-dating the Vedic period
