What is Vedic Astrology?

Vedic Astrology, referred to as Jyotish, is regarded as the Eye of the Vedas and is one of the six limbs, or Vedangas, of the ancient wisdom traditions of India. Jyoti translates to heavenly light.

Jyotish, a sister science to yoga and Ayurveda, is the "Jyotir Vidya" or lore of light. It studies the light from celestial bodies using a sidereal astronomical system, which is about 24 degrees earlier than Western Astrology's tropical calculations based on equinoxes and seasons. Jyotish focuses on the true placements of the planets, unlike the calendar-based tropical system.

In essence, the earth's wobble and the precession of the equinoxes over time make the Sidereal Zodiac more precise. For navigation, a ship's captain uses sidereal calculations, which reflect actual astronomy and real planetary placements, as relying on the tropical calendar would lead to errors.

Vedic Astrology considers the 27 Nakshatras, or Lunar Mansions, which are stars beyond the zodiac belt. The moon travels through all 27 Nakshatras each month.

Vedic Astrology studies the impact of celestial bodies on humans. Your natal birth chart, or kundali, reflects karmic influences at birth, capturing the sky's patterns to outline your soul's energy and potential life themes.

As spiritual light beings in matter, our Astrological birth chart acts as the DNA of our soul's karma, reflecting our unique mind, body, and potentials shaped by our karmas over many lifetimes.

Jyotish can bring deep insight into our current incarnation and our souls purpose and karmic lessons. By studying current transits as well as personal planetary cycles we can learn what is in season for our lives and better prepare to work with the planetary energies upon us.

The planets known as grahas in Vedic Astrology are living energetic entities that have influence on us as they travel through the constellations. Just as the luminaries, known as the sun and moon, have a direct effect on planet earth and all its inhabitants, so do all the celestial bodies. Thus the term “as a above so below” is connected to Vedic Astrology. This timeless art and science is based on the living sky and its endless cycles.

Understanding the unique blueprint of your soul through Jyotish can be a valuable tool for living an evolved life and elevating your consciousness. Everyone desires to become their best self. Knowing the current cosmic influences and planetary cycles aids in navigating life's challenges. In Ayurveda, sacred self-study, known as Swadyaya, involves recognizing negative patterns and uncovering hidden strengths.

Through the lens of Vedic Astrology we can discover our unique karma and mind body connection that is revealed in our chart. The data travels in our subtle bodies from one life to the next. This is revealed in our natal astrology chart as well as in the Harmonic Divisional Charts that are like a microscopic look into various areas of our lives.
