Indian Astrology, a gift from the Vedic period
Indian Astrology, a noble and natural cosmic science which
dates back to 3000 B.C. is found in the ‘Mahopanishat’
or ‘Jyothishmati’ a part of Atharva Veda. This was developed
by the Maharishis of Vedic times. Among them Aryabhatta,
Marharishi Parashar, and Varaha Mihira are known for their
contributions. According to Indian astrology, the events related
to a person’s life are predicted based upon the positions
of various celestial objects at birth. Indian Astrology calculates
the position of planet and how they are related to each
other.
As per Vedic or Indian Astrology, there are 9 planets, i.e. Sun,
Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and two shadowy planets
Rahu and Kethu. The 27 constellations or nakshathras known
as stars are Aswini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasira,
Aridra, Punarvasu, Pushyami, Aslesha, Makha, Pubba, Uttara,

which is called the Zodiac. This Zodiac is divided into
12 equal parts, i.e. Mesha (Aries), Vrishabha (Taurus),
Mithuna (Gemini), Kataka (Cancer), Simha (Leo), Kanya
(Virgo), Thula (Libra), Vrischika (Scorpio), Dhanus (Sagittarius),
