It focuses on predicting events in your life and your life purpose as well as money, career and your relationships.

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.

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.
