You often come across the word 'astrology' in day to day life.
Have you ever wondered - what does it mean?
Astrology is the study of correlation between astronomical positions of the planets and events
happening on Earth. It is believed that positions of planets revolving in universe at the time
of an individual's birth, have a direct impact on the person's personality.
Astrology is one of the best tools to understand oneself and other
related humans. The natal birth chart of a person (commonly known as horoscope) is used as the
base for making predictions about his/her life. Astrology has the power to describe the
behavior,personality of an individual and can also foresee the future of a person. However,
astrological predictions must not be taken as an excuse for any behavior because, our destiny
depends partly upon our astrological signatures and partly upon our 'Karma'.
Vedic comes from the word 'Veda' in Sanskrit. It means a broad aspect
of knowledge covering each and every area of human life. Vedic astrology originated in India and
has been practiced continuously for more than 8000 years. Planets revolving continuously in
universe represent and emit certain energies which influence the life of every human being.
Horoscope represents position of planets and their relation to the individual. Astrology is the
science which studies the combined influence of those stellar bodies on human being. Vedic
astrology reading provides the definition to these influences and their reflection on the
destiny of a person.
Sage Parasara was the one who perceived it through his enlightened vision. He is considered to be the author of Vedic Texts.
