Vedic Astrology
Ancient Indian wisdom for understanding your karma, destiny, and life path. Jyotish — the "science of light" — has guided seekers for over 5,000 years.
What is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is the ancient Hindu system of astrology originating from the Vedas. Unlike Western astrology which uses the tropical zodiac (based on seasons), Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac — aligned with the actual positions of stars.
This means your Vedic sign is typically one sign back from your Western sign. A Western Aries might be a Vedic Pisces. Both are "correct" — they're just measuring different things.
