Vedic Astrology is an old form of Indian astrology that comes from the holy books of Hinduism. The Old Indian text is called Jyotish Shastra, which in English means "light/heaven body."

For Hindus, this method has very deep meanings. It is still a science that is accepted in most of India and a belief that affects the way many people live their lives. Dasha is the name for the idea that each person's planetary periods are unique based on their birth chart.

This system thinks that there is a strong link between the movements of the planets and people. These Dashas show the times in a person's life when a certain planet has an effect on them.

Vedic astrology takes a more spiritual approach and suggests things like wearing precious stones, chanting mantras, and doing different routines to lessen the effects of the planets.

Many people today use Western Astrology as their astrological method. Western Astrology, which is also called Tropical Astrology, is what most of us know about astrology today. Terms like "Sun sign," "rising sign," and "Mars retrograde" are used all the time in everyday life.

Most people around the world use Western Astrology as their astrological method. It has its own rules and ways of doing things that came from old Babylonian and Greek traditions.

Western Astrology looks at people's inner lives, motives, and personality traits from a more psychological point of view. It's mostly used to find out more about oneself and pull out the right potential.

Vedic Astrology and Western Astrology are not at all the same, even though they share some parallels. There are 12 zodiac signs in both systems, but the ways they are calculated, the calendars they use, and how they read the planets are different.

The tropical schedule is used by most of the world and is based on the four seasons. This is what Western Astrology follows. For Vedic astrology, on the other hand, a different calendar called the sidereal system is used. This calendar is based on the changing stars.
