Vedic astrology, or Jyotish, is the ancient Indian system of astrology using the sidereal zodiac, lunar mansions, and karma-based interpretation.
Jyotish, meaning "science of light," originated in India over 5,000 years ago. Unlike Western astrology's tropical zodiac, Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac aligned with actual star positions. This creates an approximately 24-degree difference between Western and Vedic sign placements. Vedic astrology emphasizes the Moon sign, uses 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions), and incorporates concepts of karma and dharma in chart interpretation.
TriAstra calculates your complete Vedic chart using the Lahiri Ayanamsa, providing insights through Rashi (sign), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), and Dasha (timing) analysis that complement your Western and Saju charts.
Vedic astrology offers a karma-focused perspective on your life path, revealing past-life patterns and future potential. It's particularly valued for its precise timing systems and compatibility analysis.
