Vedic Astrology 2013


Vedic Astrology 2013 aims at providing yearly predictions depending on Zodiac signs. Vedic Astrology is termed as Jyotish, a Sanskrit word, which when literally translated means “The Science of Lights”. The Zodiac signs are known as “Raashi”. Each Raashi, in turn, is ruled by a demi-God who controls the different aspects of that particular Zodiac sign.

Vedic astrology finds its origin in the Vedas, the ancient Indian scriptures of Wisdom. It also relates to several Hindu mythological stories that illustrate the rules followed by Vedic astrologers for making predictions. Its primary calculations are based on the planetary movements with respect to the stars. It also takes into account twenty-seven constellations, known as Nakshatras, each heading a particular combination of Stars. It also takes in to consideration the nine Planets and the twelve Houses. It is believed that each of these represent a particular facet of Life.

A Vedic astrologer visually represents all these coordinates in a chart that is known as “Janam Kundali” (“birth chart” or “natal chart”). By looking at this chart, a Vedic astrologer can describe a person’s traits, events of life, and possibilities. Vedic astrology believes that astral patterns have a significant influence on human fate.

Zodiac signs in Vedic Astrology, however, differ from their Western counterparts. Both the systems have a similar idea where they divide an imaginary span of 360 degrees into equal subdivisions of twelve. Each subdivision is labeled as a Zodiac. The Western concept, however, uses Tropical Zodiac system as parameter where the calculations are made based on the position of the Earth with respect to the Sun and other members of the Solar System. The Vedic concept of astrology, on the other hand, uses Sidereal System to calculate the coordinates that takes into account the changes that occur due to the shift of the equinoxes.
