What is Vedic
Astrology?
Vedic Astrology or Jyotish is the system of astrology
that was developed by the ancient sages of India,
and has been practiced for more than 5,000 years
now. It is a part of the Vedic knowledge, which
includes the sciences of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vastu
to name a few. Vedic Astrology developed through
thousands of years of these sages correlating
astronomical observation with the movements of
earthly life. It is used as a tool for self-examination
and understanding, as well as for living harmoniously
and consciously with the various energies at play
in the universe. Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish,
as it is called in Sanskrit, is meant to be used
as a means of transcending the energies that bind
us to material existence and suffering. |

What is the
Difference between Vedic Astrology ( Jyotish )
and Western Astrology?
Western Astrology has its roots in the Vedic Astrological
tradition. However, much of what Europeans learned
from Asia and the Middle East about astrology
was buried or completely lost during the Dark
Ages and Inquisition. Astrology, like herbalism,
alchemy, and magic, was looked upon as anti-Christian,
and its practitioners were persecuted. Hence,
with the return to European progress, astrology
has re-emerged, but has forged a path of its own.
One of the essential differences between the two
systems is that in Vedic Astrology, the position
of the planets is described by astronomically
correct observation. Both an Astronomer and a
Vedic Astrologer would agree that when the Moon
is in Taurus, it can be observed in the night
sky, positioned in the actual constellation of
Taurus. The zodiac used in Vedic Astrology coincides
with the observable constellations. Western Astrology
employs a zodiac that is loosely related to the
actual constellations, but the position of the
planets is determined by a static concept that
generates the positional information. If a Western
Astrologer were to join an Astronomer and a Vedic
Astrologer on a starry night when the Moon was
located in Taurus, he would look at his ephemeris
(a chart of planetary positions) and say, "Well,
it says right here that the Moon is in Gemini."
This is the essential difference. |

What do you
mean by 'A systematic approach'?
Systematic way means that the remedies
would work as suggested by the horoscope itself.
As an example, if Sun is found in your second
house being the lord of the fifth house, doing
a remedy to Sun would cause changes in your life
regarding your finance, children, diet, creativity
and other areas of life ruled by houses second
and fifth. It will not affect any other fields
of life that Sun is not connected with, in your
chart. |
