Vedic Astrology - The Divine Science

Vedic Astrology is the science of studying the influence of celestial bodies on human affairs and on natural world on Earth. This ancient science was understood by our sages and the knowledge is passed to us through ancient scriptures (Vedas and Purana), our gurus and colleagues. In this 21st century, Internet and Digital Technology has played a key role in exponential expansion of this subject.

Vedic Astrology, often called Hindu Astrology or Indian Astrology, is primarily based on Ascendant (Zodiac rising in East) and Zodiac of the Moon at the time of Birth. While Western Astrology is primarily based on Sun signs. The predictions based on Sun signs are not accurate as Sun stays in one Zodiac for approximately a month, which means 1/12th of the people on Earth would have same Sun sign, but their lives are not same. Vedic Astrology, on the other hand takes Ascendant, Moon sign and relative positions of Planets to draw the picture of the sky on horoscope and predict with accuracy. Ascendant changes in nearly two hours, while Moon changes in about 2.25 days.

Though, there is no scientific backing of Vedic Astrology, however we all know that High tide and Low tide on sea level occurs because of the gravitational pull exerted by the Moon on Earth. Similarly, the impact of other planets is also exerted on the life on Earth, which is studied with the help of Vedic Astrology.
