Vedic astrologyWhile Vedic astrology relies on a system of twelve signs (Mesham, Vrishabham, Mithunam, Karkatakam, Simham, Kanya, Tula, Vrishchikam, Dhanus, Makaram, Kumbham, and Meenam) that correspond to the 12 Western signs, it gives a much stronger role to the Lunar sign than the Sun sign, especially in predictive aspects. Also unlike traditional Western astrology, Vedic astrology does not separate the signs into equal segments on a disc, but segments of varying size on an ellipsis. Vedic astrology makes mathematical allowances for the movement of the universe over thousands of years, rather than basing its signs on the position of various constellations in the sky 2,000 years ago or more. It also does not treat certain aspects (the positions of the planets in relation to each other) as automatically positive or negative, but judges the effects of any given aspect by the traits of the specific planets involved. The Vedic horoscope chart according to the North Indian system is laid out in a rectangular field and divided into a combination of triangular and diamond-shaped Houses, which are used to determine the influence of particular planets in a subject's life. The South Indian chart customarily uses rectangular houses around the edge of a rectangular field, instead. The Sun, Moon, five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn), and two nodes of the Moon (called Rahu and Ketu) are all marked by Vedic astrology and considered important in astrological calculations. Above and beyond the Lunar sign, the position of the Moon at the time of one's birth is calculated to a narrower degree within a range of 27 constellations or nakshatras, which astrologers consider to provide a quick overview of an individual's personality. Each nakshatra is ruled by a particular Vedic deity, and the traits and meanings of any given nakshatra tie closely into the attributed functions of the associated deity. Vedic astrology is divided into three primary schools of study—Siddanta, which is closest to the Western science of astronomy; Samhita, which studies mundane astrology and its ties to weather, natural catastrophes, and economic trends; and Hora, which comprises an elaborate system of predictions. Vedic astrology is traditionally used on a personal level to predict significant future events, to determine marriage compatibility between a couple, to determine an overall course or pattern of a person's life, to discover the most auspicious time to take action, and to provide remedies to lingering problems in one's life.
