The earliest written records of Vedic astrology date back more than 5,000 years and original practitioners of this "spiritual science" were both expert astronomers and sages. 

The word “vedic” originates from the word “veda,” which means “knowledge, or insight.” This refers to the true knowledge by which all other knowledge is known—the wisdom of knowing our nature and place in the dance of life. 

The ancient seers composed four sets of hymns called the Vedas, which are an expression of various subjects that include philosophy, yoga, meditation, healing, and astrology. This body of wisdom was intended to support human beings in their search for peace, harmony, joy, and fulfillment. Vedic astrology, a limb of the Vedas, is considered to be “the eyes of the Veda,” which helps us see our life path clearly and our place in the larger flow of life.

Ones astrology chart is calculated on basis of ones birthdate, birth time and place of birth. A detailed calculation is interpreted by an astrologer that looks at the 12 zodiac sign divisions, the placement of 7 planets, and the 27 nakshatras (constellations) as to where they are placed in a birth chart.

Vedic astrology is the map of our "karma". It allows us to understand our own nature and destiny in order to navigate our life. It’s about helping us in our spiritual development to achieve the final goal of spiritual liberation. By studying our horoscope, the planets and how they relate to us, we can better comprehend what energies are affecting us, and how we can best respond to those energies to live our life's purpose.
