Title: Vedic astrology (now and how) Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Jul 23, 2019 06:59 pm There are some key differences between Vedic and Western astrology that can help you expand your own understanding of astrology. Vedic astrology is the traditional Hindu system of astrology. Known as Jyotish in Hindu, Vedic astrology literally means “the science of light.” In the most basic sense, Vedic astrology is known to put more emphasis on the Moon sign than the Sun sign. Vedic astrology can make accurate predictions of life events and is 24 degrees back from Western astrology because of the ”precession of the equinoxes”

Indian Gurus and their western followers not only imported the Hindu sidereal Zodiac to the west, but also other techniques of Hindu astrology and even spiritual concepts of the Vedic culture. By designating this astrology as “Vedic”, i. e. connecting it with the sacred writings of Hinduism, the Vedas, they allege that this astrology has a spiritual background, and ultimately goes back to divine revelation. Also, they tend to teach this Astrology within a guru-disciple relationship, where the authority of the teacher and tradition plays a much bigger part than in common western teaching. Astro.com |
