What is Vedic Astrology?

Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is an astronomical system that began in ancient India about 5000 years ago. In Sanskrit, it means "science of light." Unlike Western astrology, it uses the sidereal system. It features precise analytical frameworks including Nakshatras (27 lunar mansions), Dasha (planetary periods), and Divisional charts.
