Your Zodiac Rasi – From the Most Ancient Jyotisha

IMPORTANCE OF JYOTISHA

When facing important life decisions (marriage, career, etc.) many people use their Kundli for guidance and to avoid making bad choices.  A Kundli, also known as Janam Kundli, Janampatri, Natal Chart, Birth Horoscope, or Birth Chart, is a 12-house Jyotish (Vedic astrology) chart based on the exact date/time and place of one’s birth.  Vedic astrology is an ancient art, but before exploring its origins, consider how it is practiced today.

Jyotisha Today

• Vedic or Hindu astrology divides the earth’s 360-degree rotational circle against the background of the stars into 12 sections corresponding to the 12 Rasi or Zodiac astral signs. Thus each section occupies a 30 degree arc in the earth’s rotation. Likewise, your life is divided into 12 Houses, with each House representing an aspect of your life (eg appearance, wealth, creativity, intelligence etc.). So there is a one-to-one fit between each Zodiac Rasi and each House.

Prominence of Vedic Astrology in Modern Hindu Culture

Vedic astrology is part of the fabric of Hindu culture.  In fact, following a judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in 2001 favouring astrology, some Indian universities now offer advanced degrees in Hindu astrology. 

But no matter what calculations the astrologer works with, today these Twelve Zodiac Signs or Rasi of vedic astrology. Today’s horoscope attempts to foresee all that is compatible and that which is not based on your birth date’s relation to these Twelve Zodiac Signs. 

1. Virgo – (Kanya)
2. Libra – (Tula)
3. Scorpio – (Vrishchik)
4. Sagittarius (Dhanus)
5. Capricorn – (Makar)

Where did the Zodiac come from?

Wikipedia tells us that Jyotisha used to be one of the six disciplines (or Vedanga) mentioned in the vedas. But at the start the vedas did now not point out planets (navagraha).  The vedas used astrology entirely as way of getting ready calendars to calculate auspicious competition dates.  It used to be the Greeks, conquering up to the Indus Valley, who added what has nowadays grow to be vedic astrology to India.

We start the Zodiac story with Virgo and then proceed thru the Rasi. Each Zodiac Rasi builds a chapter. Think of them as primeval Kundali that construct on every different to shape a Story. Here are the Kundali of the Ancient Jyotisha

• 1. Virgo: Seed of the Virgin
• 2. Libra: Weighed in Heavenly Scales
• 3. Scorpio: The Cosmic Conflict
• 4. Sagittarius: Archer’s Final Victory
• 5. Capricorn: The Goat-Fish explained
• 6. Aquarius: Rivers of Living Water
• 7. Pisces: Multitudes in Passing Bondage
• 8. Aries: The Lamb Alive!
• 9.Taurus: The Coming Judge
• 10. Gemini: Royal Sons & Cosmic Bride
• 11. Cancer: Rising from the ashes of death
• 12. Leo: The Roaring Lion Comes to Rule

Astrology and the Prophets together

Studying the stars (astrology) to mark sacred times (horoscope) does not tell all that the Creator planned about these events.  The Creator’s written record gives further details. We see an example of this in the birth of Jesus Christ.  The Gospel records how astrologers understood his birth by studying the stars. 

most of the people said that astrology is the most important power of anything and also the importance of forming global in the presence of stars and planets according to astrology..,
