VEDIC ASTROLOGY

 

Vedic astrology, also called Jyotish, is the traditional astrology of India and part of the greater system of yogic knowledge, with its profound wisdom and cosmic understanding. While similar to Western astrology in using planets, signs, houses and aspects, it calculates these differently and adds many unique factors of its own. Vedic astrology is a comprehensive tool of astrological interpretation, containing accurate methods for examining all aspects of life from health to enlightenment. It has tremendous power both for prediction of specific events and for giving guidance on how to live in harmony with the universe, helping us to understand and transcend the limiting influence of karma.

Now gaining recognition in the West, Vedic astrology is certain to be one of the most important new trends in global astrology for the coming century.
