What is Jyotish

Astrology is an ancient scripture. It is an education given by great sages. This is why it is also known as Devi Vidya. It is also called Vaidanga and Pratyaksha Shastra. Today even science, which accepts nothing without proof, has accepted astrology as a complete science. But, even now, some people do not believe in the power of astrology.

In modern astrology there are many ways to make predictions, and each of them is complete in itself. Each one is capable of giving flawless results. Horoscope astrology is one of the famous methods of astrology. It is also known as Birth Chart astrology. With the analysis of this chart an astrologer can tell a person about his future times. Normally, people go to a doctor only after getting sick. On the other hand, a well studied astrologer can easily foretell when a person is going to be ill.

Vedic Astrology has 9 planets, 12 houses and 27 constellations and is based on these. Each of the 12 houses in a horoscope focuses on a different aspect of life.

Vedic astrology is based on 9 planets, 12 signs, 27 constellations and the time of birth based on the 12 houses. According to the astrology it is believed that planets such as Sun, Moon, Mars,Mercury, Jupiter , Venus, Saturn,Rahu and Ketu , control creatures living on the Earth. Other planets like Indra, Varuna, and Yam are far from Earth and do not have any impact on it.

Thus, to make predictions the astrological aspect, conjunction, speed and vision of only the planets from Sun to Saturn and Rahu to Ketu at the time of birth are considered.
