Jyotish – Vedic Astrology

Jyotish, also known as Vedic Astrology or Hindu astrology is a traditional system of divination and interpretation that originated in ancient India. It's based on the belief that celestial phenomena have both physical and metaphysical effects on human life.

Jyotish divides time into astrological ages, each lasting thousands of years, with different planetary influences dominating during these periods. The movement of planets through constellations at the moment someone was born determines their natal chart calculations like ascendant sign (rising sun), position and aspects from other planets which provide insights about various aspects of one’s personality , career prospects, relationships etc.

The Jyotish tradition has been passed down for over 5000 years through oral transmission by gurus to disciples who learnt it using mnemonic techniques along with philosophical underpinnings found in ancient texts called Vedanga Jyotish.

It involves complex mathematical calculations and interpretations involving horoscope matching between potential couples before marriage ceremony since compatibility among them could be predicted beforehand giving better chance for harmony . Moreover there are annual predictions made each year taking lunar mansions(nakshatras) & transits to give forecasted events globally .

Today many people turn towards Jyotish practitioners seeking guidance across different facets such as health problems, social issues, career choices, family affairs, gambling analysis amongst others

Overall, Jyotish offers a comprehensive framework drawing upon astronomy, Astro physics, Ancient philosophy, predictive modelling coupled with ethical values aimed at helping individuals make informed decisions/choices within larger cosmic order they belong which ultimately leads to spiritual liberation(Moksha).
