Vedic Astrology, also known as Jyotish Shastra, is an ancient Indian science that studies the influence of celestial bodies on human life. Rooted in the Vedas, it is one of the oldest and most trusted systems of astrology, followed widely across India for guidance in personal and professional decisions.
Vedic Astrology is based on the sidereal zodiac, which calculates planetary positions using actual constellations in the sky. It focuses on the Moon sign (Rashi) and Ascendant (Lagna), making predictions deeply personalized and precise.
It explains why events happen, not just what will happen, helping individuals understand karma, destiny, and life patterns.
