Vedic Astrology is an Ancient Science

2/14/2025

0 Comments

 
Vedic Astrology is more than 5,000 years old and was part of the ancient India Vedas, holy scriptures of knowledge.  Vedic Astrology is also called Jyotish, science of light or the light of God.  It is the science of karma.  Karma is the spiritual principle of cause and effect, where the intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect).
 
Your natal/birth chart shows your karmic path for this lifetime.  It is a plateful of karma that you will face this lifetime, grow from, and be challenged by.  This is not all of the past good and bad karma that has been accumulated, just a portion of it.  Our ultimate goal is enlightenment and each person’s path will be different in moving towards that goal.
 
The map of your life is revealed at the moment of your birth.  The positions of the planets and stars at the moment of your birth describe your karma and what your experiences will be.  When done properly Vedic Astrology can give you clarity, peace, and self-understanding.
 
The spiritual teacher from India, Paramanhansa Yogananda, wrote:  A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma.  His horoscope is a portrait revealing his unalterable past and its future results.”

How Vedic Astrology is the Accurate Science

The Vedic astrology system uses the sidereal zodiac which calculates the planets' positions based on where they actually are in the sky, in relationship to the fixed stars which form the constellations. The difference is that the Western system uses the tropical zodiac which is based on the seasons. 2,000 years ago, the signs and the constellations were in the same position. Due to the wobbling of the earth on its axis, the North star is no longer where it was 2,000 years ago. This is known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.  So now, Western astrology is 23 degrees off.

Locational Astrology

5/30/2023

Locational astrology is a fascinating branch of astrology that uses astrological techniques to analyze the effects of different locations on an individual's life. While Western astrology has its own methods for locational astrology, Vedic Astrology also has a system called Astro Mapping, which can help determine the most auspicious locations for an individual based on their birth chart.

One of the key differences between Vedic and Western astrology is the importance of the Rising Sign, also known as the Ascendant. In Vedic astrology, the Ascendant is considered to be the most important factor in determining an individual's personality and life path. The Ascendant is calculated based on the time and location of birth, which means that it can change if an individual moves to a new location.

This is where Astro Mapping comes in. By analyzing the planetary positions in different locations, an astrologer can determine the effect that a new location would have on an individual's chart. For example, if an individual with a Taurus rising moves to a location where their rising sign is now Aries, their Ascendant would shift to Aries, and the houses in their chart would also shift accordingly. This would mean that the planets in their chart would have different effects based on their new house placements.

It's important to note that your experience in a new location will be different if you have a different Rising Sign. For example, if you have a Pisces Rising and you move to a location where your rising sign is Aries, you may feel a shift in your energy and personality. Aries Rising is known for being more assertive and energetic, while Pisces Rising is more introspective and sensitive. Similarly, the new house placements of the planets in your chart can also have a significant impact on your life and experiences in the new location.

Astro Mapping can be a useful tool for individuals who are looking to make a major move or even just travel to a new location. By understanding the astrological influences of different locations, you can make more informed decisions about where to live or visit. However, it's important to remember that astrology is just one tool among many, and it's always important to use your own judgment and intuition when making major life decisions.

In conclusion, locational astrology using Vedic Astrology Astro mapping is a fascinating way to explore the effects of different locations on an individual's life. By understanding the importance of the Rising Sign and the shifting of the houses, you can gain a deeper understanding of how astrology can be applied to your life. Remember that astrology is just one tool among many, and it's always important to use your own judgment and intuition when making major life decisions.
