Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish Shastra, is an ancient system that offers deep insights into a person’s life by analyzing the positions of planets, stars, and the zodiac at the time of birth. Unlike Western astrology, which uses the Tropical Zodiac, Vedic astrology follows the Sidereal Zodiac, based on actual constellations. The system divides the sky into 12 zodiac signs, each representing different characteristics, and incorporates Nakshatras, or lunar constellations, which refine personality traits.
