Vedic Astrology originated several thousand years ago in East India, from the same enlightened minds that brought the world yoga. The origin of these healing systems is the books known asthe Vedas, from which the term "Vedic Astrology" is derived. Even thoughthe Vedas are thought to be the oldest books known to mankind, at least 4,000 years old, the “Vedic Sciences” are still practiced today!
Vedic Astrology and yoga have exactly the same goal, to help us live a more peaceful, conscious, and happy life.
By examining the position of our planets, signs, and houses, a Vedic astrologer can help us see the deeper issues we are facing, as well as challenges and opportunities. We can use Vedic Astrology for life's important decisions, such as beginning a new relationship, getting married, starting a business, taking trips, and creating lasting wealth.
Consultation with a Vedic astrologer can be an integral tool in building a life of lasting happiness and joy. Vedic Astrology is very similar to Western Astrology. Both systems use the same planets, houses, and signs. Yet, Vedic Astrology does not traditionally use the three outer planets of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
An important addition to Vedic Astrology is the use of the 27 nakshatras, or distant stars.
