Vedic Astrology is an Ancient Science

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.
