| The Western system uses the tropical
zodiac which is based on the seasons.
The Vedic system
calculates the planets positions based on where they
actually are in the sky, in relationship to the fixed
stars.
So in Vedic Astrology, what you see is what
you get.
Although it uses a different
zodiac from western astrology, the same themes will be
seen in the Vedic chart, it's just that different planets
will play the role.
It focuses on predicting events in
your life and your life purpose as well as money, career
and your relationships.
Using this zodiac most people's planets
move back one sign. The Sun changes sign around the
15th of the month instead of the 21st of the previous
month in the Western system. See Vedic
Sun Sign page for where your Sun is in this system.
There is also an emphasis on the Moon,
and the zodiac is divided into 27 lunar mansions called
nakshatras. They offer a deeper interpretation of the
subtle energy in a birthchart.
Awakening
Our relationship with the stars mirrors our relationship
with our inner self, with our psyche and with the
cosmos. Astrology can connect us to Higher Knowledge,
our Higher Self - and to communication with the Universe
itself.
Having the birth chart interpreted
is part of the journey of self awareness, of awakening.
It's a map of the heavens at birth. It describes the
seed of our essence, our potential. Like any map, it's
not the territory, but it can help us recognise our
journey through time.
Astrology can be especially important
to those who need guidance, or to those who
wish to understand the fuller picture of their life.
Prediction The
Vedic system also uses a technique which shows the
cycles of a person's entire life. (Called dashas)
It can tell you when to expect the
highs and lows. It tells how long these periods will
last, and what aspect of your life will be in focus.
Knowing this helps a person prepare.
Especially important is knowing when the dasha changes.
By understanding how the various planets affect you,
remedial actions can be taken to improve your fortunes.
