What does my Vedic astrology tell me about myself?
Vedic Astrology is an ancient Indian discipline that describes planetary motions and placements in relation to time, as well as how they affect humans and other living things on the planet.
Is Vedic astrology more accurate than Western astrology?
Are the Rolling Stones superior to the Beatles? Is indica better than sativa? Do you want to tell the truth or take a chance? These are the kinds of questions that need to be considered, as well as the kinds of decisions that need to be made. Vedic astrology is far more intricate than Western astrology, making it both more accurate and more difficult to grasp for beginners. Furthermore, others argue that because the cosmos, as well as our beating hearts within it, is continuously in flux, Vedic astrology, which accounts for this flux, delivers more acute insights and practical knowledge. I believe that the more you know, the better off you are, and as an indecisive Gemini rising, I strongly advise getting a personal reading from a specialist or experts who are knowledgeable in both schools of astrological thought. Shine brightly.
What makes my Vedic sign unique?
Vedic astrology presupposes a baseline spirituality that is mainly lacking from mainstream Western astrology techniques, as evidenced by its roots in ancient religious writings. Vedic astrology isn’t a personality test or an in-home psychoanalysis; rather, it provides instructions for living life with spirit and intention. In Vedic Astrology, the Four Pillars or Purposes revealed by a birth chart are:
1. Dharma: The way you fulfill your spirit via your daily activities; the reason for your existence.
2. Artha: How do you make money and meet your basic needs?
3. Kama: How do you pursue your dreams?
4. Moksha: How do you get enlightenment or spiritual liberation?
The zodiac system is the other main distinction (and the one that gets the most attention) between Vedic and Western astrology. The tropical zodiac, which is based on the seasons and the Earth’s relationship to the sun, is used in Western astrology. The first day of Aries Season in the tropical zodiac is always the Spring Equinox. The sidereal zodiac, which places the planets’ positions against a backdrop of stars, is used in Vedic astrology (Sidereal means stars).
The stars and constellations do not remain in a fixed place due to the Earth’s tilt and erratic orbit. Every 72 years, each fixed star travels one zodiac degree. The sidereal zodiac accounts for this movement through a correction method known as ayanamsas, whereas the tropical system does not. As a result, your Vedic astrology sun sign may differ from the one you know from Western astrology.
In India, why is my zodiac sign different?
Because Indians subtract 23 degrees from a constellation’s visible position, there is a 23-day difference between sun signs in the western and desi zodiacs.
What is the best way to read my Vedic birth chart?
Do you notice the number 7 in the graph above? That is Libra, the seventh zodiac sign. The ascendant is the sign for this person. The rising symbol is what it’s called. If your ascendant is “1,” your sign is Aries; if it is “2,” your sign is Taurus; “3” is Gemini; “4” is Cancer; “5” is Leo; “6” is Virgo; “8” is Scorpio; “9” is Sagittarius; “10” is Capricorn; “11” is Aquarius; and “12” is Pisces. I hope you can tell which sign is your rising sign/ascendant by now. Because the ascendant is the starting point, the first house in the birth chart will be in the ascendant, and the remaining houses and zodiac signs will be placed in an anti-clockwise orientation after that. Once you understand this, you can figure out where the planets are in your birth chart, for example, the Sun is in the 5th house in the sign of Aquarius in the chart above. You’ll need to know the meanings of houses, zodiac signs, and planets in order to examine your birth chart, which you can learn about in this article. Please watch this video if you want to learn how to read a birth chart using a visual medium.
Is Vedic astrology distinct from Western astrology?
The main distinction between Vedic and Western astrology is that one employs a fixed zodiac while the other utilizes a moveable zodiac to determine the zodiac’s starting point. The tropical Zodiac is used in Western Astrology, and it views the earth to be the center of the universe, with the celestial bodies circling around it.
What is the distinction between Vedic and Western astrology?
Vedic astrology is based on the sidereal zodiac system, which calculates planet placements based on where they can be seen in the sky in relation to constellations. The tropical (fixed) zodiac, on the other hand, is used in Western astrology. This system is based on four seasons, which symbolize the movement of the Sun, equinoxes, solstices, and the tilt of the Earth on its axis.
