An Introduction to Vedic Astrology
The ancient rishis (the seers) of India cognized three major systems of healing, each a sister science to the other: Yoga, as a means to connect with the divine soul; Ayurveda, as a way to maintain optimal health and well-being; and Jyotish, as the luminous glue between the two.
Vedic Astrology, known as Jyotish, is the science of light—a way to understand our soul’s journey and live in greater alignment with our true nature. In this introduction, Vish will explain the key differences that make this ancient Vedic system much more powerful that its modern counterpart found in pop-culture Western astrology. He will also give an overview of how to look at a Vedic chart and explore the basic characteristics of the planets, signs, and houses. As a student of Vedic sciences, it is essential we have an understanding of Vedic Astrology.
