Indian astrology or Jyotish
Indian Astrology or Jyotisha is an ancient
Vedic predictive system which can reveal one’s past, present and future. Indian
astrology has its roots in Vedas, the ancient Vedic scriptures and is famous
for the accuracy in predicting the events of one’s life. This astrology system
is flourished from thousands of years in India and a core part of Indian
society.
The Vedic astrology system differs from the
western astrology in many ways .The analysis done in Indian astrology system is
more in- depth than the western or the Chinese astrology. In western astrology,
the predictions are done on the basis of date of birth same as Chinese, but in
Indian astrology, the input used is date, place and time of birth which makes
the Vedic horoscope more accurate and personalized to an individual.
Indian astrology is a scientific analysis
of the planets, their specific placements in the constellations and their
impacts on different aspects of the life of an individual. These different
placements and configurations of the planets are mapped in the form of
horoscope. Horoscope represents the configurations and placements of the
planets at the time of birth of an individual. The variation in the
configuration comes with the change in the date, time and place of birth. This
change in configurations changes the events or happenings in the life of that
individual in some or all areas of life.
An expert astrologer makes the Vedic
horoscope on the basis of date, time and place of birth of an individual and
studies the configurations and placements of nine planets in twelve predefined
houses of Vedic horoscope. Each of these houses represents some important
aspects of life. An astrologer analyzes the placement of a planet in a
particular house and zodiac, its strength, its nature (benefic or malefic), its
impact on a particular aspect of life and intensity of impact. He also studies
impacts on different houses of the horoscope to provide precise predictions
regarding the aspects related to that particular house in horoscope
Vedic astrology has three branches.
1.
Siddhanta
2.
Samhita
3.
Hora
Siddhanta is more focused on Indian
astronomy and provide basis for calculations in Indian astrology.
Samhita
presents a predictive system which is more focused on predictions for
country or world rather than an individual .It predicts the events such as
revolutions, wars, elections, cyclones, financial aspects and Vastu on the
basis of country’ horoscope and transit of planets.
Hora is a predictive system for individual
.On the basis of individual’s horoscope, it predicts about the events in the
life of an individual with very good level of accuracy. This predictive system
touches every aspect of human life and the predictions are reliable and
relevant to the modern life.
Indian or Hindu astrology uses sidereal
zodiacs which is different from the tropical zodiacs used by western system.
Using tropical system makes the
calculation less authentic as in the tropical system; the connection between
the zodiac sign and sky constellation is broken. The position of planets
calculated in western astrology keeps on changing with respect to stars. Vedic astrology not only uses the twelve
zodiacs from Babylonian system but also includes twenty seven lunar
constellations. The inclusion of lunar mansions which are called nakshatras
makes Indian astrology more precise and comprehensive.
