Vedic Astronomy

Vedic astronomy, also known as Jyotish or Indian astrology, is an ancient system that studies celestial movements and their influence on human life. Rooted in Vedic texts, it combines precise observations of stars, planets, and constellations with spiritual and cultural interpretations. This system emphasizes the zodiac, lunar and solar cycles, and planetary positions to understand timing, events, and personal destinies. While it has a spiritual dimension, Vedic astronomy also involves sophisticated calculations and a deep knowledge of astronomy, serving as a foundation for astrology and calendrical practices in India.
