Frequently Asked Questions

In India, Vedic Astrology is known as Jyotisha. The first written reference to Jyotisha was in the Vedas, ancient scriptures that are considered to be at least 5,000 years old or more.

Jyotisha is a mathematically sophisticated form of astrology that originated in the ancient Vedic traditions of India.  The word Jyotish means “light” and Jyotisha means “science of light” and it is a study of the cosmos and how the cosmic energy influences all living things on earth. A careful analysis of the birth chart can reveal a person’s journey in this life. 

Main difference is that Vedic Astrology uses Sidereal Zodiac and Tropical uses Tropical Zodiac. Sidearl Zodiac is what you see when you look up at the sky at any given moment. Ex if Jupiter is in Aries when you look up at the sky then that is the position that is used in the calculations in Vedic/Sideral Astrology.

Tropical Astrology/Western Astrology uses the spring equinox as a point of reference in the calculation of the chart. According to this system, the Sun enters Aries on the spring equinox. While this was true 2,000 years ago when Western Astrology was born, it is no longer astronomically accurate.

Yes this will change your sun sign, If you are a Libra in tropical you may or may not be a Libra Ascendant/Rising in Vedic/Sideral.  There is a difference of 23 degrees between the two systems.

Vedic Astrology can also assess compatibility between partners or family members (the time and place of birth of all involved parties are necessary for this).

This can lead to better, more harmonious relationships.
