Vedic Astrology – Know Its History
It is also known as Hindu Astrology or Jyotisa (a Sanskrit term meaning light/ heavenly body). It first appeared in Rig Veda during 10000 BC. Vedic astrology has the essence of the spiritual traditions and myths of our culture. Over the years, Jyotish has been accepted as a form of science and part of our lifestyle. It was earlier used to know the vital dates when religious rituals and sacrifices could be performed.

Its popularity has enhanced over the years and has become more personalised. Nowadays, people are even undergoing Vedic astrology courses to study the planetary movements and get a clearer picture of their destiny. It has a connection with other Indian practices like Ayurveda and yoga. The similarity between Vedic and Western Astrology is that both provide a road map or guide to understand one’s emotional, physical, monetary and spiritual experiences.
