  2. The term Hindu astrology has been in use as the English equivalent of Jyotiṣa since the early 19th century, whereas Vedic astrology is a relatively recent term, entering common usage in the 1970s with self-help publications on Āyurveda or yoga. Vedanga Jyotishya is one of the earliest texts about astronomy within the Vedas

  3. Jyotiṣa is one of the Vedāṅga, the six auxiliary disciplines used to support Vedic rituals.[10]:376 Early jyotiṣa is concerned with the preparation of a calendar to determine dates for sacrificial rituals,with nothing written regarding planets.There are mentions of eclipse-causing "demons" in the Atharvaveda and Chāndogya Upaniṣad, the latter mentioning Rāhu (a shadow entity believed responsible for eclipses and meteors).

  4. In India, the Study of Astrology or Jyotish Shastra can be traced to the Vedic times. Glimpses of Astrology Traditions are visible in the ‘Atharva-Veda’, one among the most sacred texts of India. Ancient Indian Vedas Astrology in India, more popularly known as Jyotish, relies more on the Sidereal ( according to the Stars ) positions of the Planets, just as one sees them in the Sky, against the positions assigned to few relatively fixed Stars.

  5. According to Indian Vedic Astrology in India, or celestial bodies, be it the Sun, The Moon, The Planets or stars, influence the Terrestrial Phenomena, or indicate such Phenomena by their various Configurations. The Configurations of the Planets and Stars at the moment of Birth determines one’s basic Life Story Inclinations, Characteristics, strengths, Weaknesses. Horoscope, or the Natal Chart, is therefore the Construction of the Basic placement of Planets at the time of Birth. That is why it is termed as a Janam-Patri in Indian Vedic Astrology.

  6. Astrology is the science of the effects of planetary movements on our lives. Astrology is based on astronomy, and astrologers need to know the correct positions of the planets among the fixed stars at any given time, as well as the correct positions of the zodiacal fixed star signs in relation to any place on earth at any given time.
