Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) - meaning "science of light" - is the ancient Indian system using the sidereal zodiac (fixed star positions) with 5,000+ years of tradition. It's Moon-based, karmic-focused, and includes Rahu, Ketu, and 27 Nakshatras.
Western Astrology uses the tropical zodiac aligned with Earth's seasons. It's Sun-based, psychologically-oriented, and focuses on personality archetypes and conscious evolution. Both systems offer profound insights into your cosmic nature.
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu—each carrying unique energies and karmic significance.
Life areas from personality to spirituality—health, wealth, siblings, home, children, enemies, marriage, death, dharma, career, gains, and liberation.
The zodiac constellations—Aries through Pisces—each sign expressing distinct qualities, elements, and modalities that color planetary energies.
Lunar mansions revealing your deepest nature—from Ashwini to Revati, each nakshatra holds profound karmic and spiritual significance.
Auspicious combinations (Raja Yoga, Dhana Yoga) and challenging patterns (Manglik, Kaal Sarpa, Pitra Dosha) with remedial measures.

The Timing of Life Events - 120-Year Planetary Cycles
The Vimshottari Dasha system is the most important timing technique in Vedic astrology. It divides a 120-year cycle among the 9 planets based on your Moon's nakshatra at birth. Each major period (Mahadasha) is further divided into sub-periods (Antardasha) and sub-sub-periods (Pratyantardasha).

How Planets Influence Each Other
In Vedic astrology, planets cast their gaze (Drishti) on other houses and planets, influencing them with their energy. Unlike Western astrology's geometric aspects, Vedic aspects are full-strength influences based on house positions.
All planets aspect the 7th house from their position. Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn have special additional aspects.
Aspects: 4th, 7th, and 8th houses from itself
Nature: Aggressive, energizing, commanding influence
Mars gaze brings energy, conflict, or protective influence to aspected areas
Aspects: 5th, 7th, and 9th houses from itself
Nature: Benevolent, protective, wisdom-giving
Jupiter's gaze brings blessings, expansion, and protection
Aspects: 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses from itself
Nature: Restricting, maturing, karmic influence
Saturn's gaze brings delays, discipline, and life lessons
Planets in the same house/sign blend their energies. Results depend on planetary compatibility and house lordship.
Sun-Moon: Balance of soul and mind • Venus-Mars: Passion in relationships • Mercury-Jupiter: Wisdom and communication
Planets in 1st-7th axis have direct visual contact, creating tension or balance depending on their nature.
Creates push-pull dynamics but also awareness and completeness
Most auspicious relationship. Jupiter naturally aspects these dharmic houses, bringing fortune and wisdom.
Creates harmonious flow of beneficial energy
Mars aspects create action, conflict, or protective influence. Can be challenging but also empowering.

Harmonizing Planetary Energies Through Sacred Practices
Remedies (Upayas) are not magic spells but spiritual practices that align your consciousness with beneficial planetary energies. They work by creating positive karma, increasing awareness, and establishing devotional connection with cosmic forces.

Microscopic Analysis of Life Dimensions
Divisional charts (Vargas) divide each zodiac sign into smaller sections, creating specialized charts for analyzing specific life areas. They reveal the finer karmic patterns not visible in the birth chart (Rashi chart/D-1).

Timing Techniques for Life Cycles
Definition: Current planetary positions activating your natal chart
Nature: External circumstances, opportunities, challenges coming from outside
Speed: Fast planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) = daily/weekly triggers
Major Transits: Jupiter (12 years), Saturn (29 years), Uranus (84 years), Neptune (165 years), Pluto (248 years)
Transits represent what life brings to you - opportunities and challenges
Definition: Day-for-a-year system - each day after birth = one year of life
Nature: Internal psychological development, unfolding of potential
Speed: Progressed Moon moves ~1° per month (28-year cycle through chart)
Key Changes: Progressed Moon sign change (2.5 years), Sun sign change (30 years - rare)
Progressions reveal what you're becoming - your internal maturation
Saturn Return (ages 29, 58, 87): Coming of age, reality check, maturation, life restructuring
Jupiter Return (every 12 years): New growth cycle, expansion, opportunities, philosophical development
Uranus Opposition (age 40-42): Midlife awakening, authenticity crisis, liberation from constraints
Neptune Square (age 41-43): Spiritual questioning, disillusionment, dissolving old dreams
Chiron Return (age 50-51): Healing crisis, wisdom integration, becoming wounded healer
Second Saturn Return (age 58-59): Elder wisdom, legacy, final life direction
Jupiter Transits (1 year/sign): Growth, opportunity, abundance in that life area. Always beneficial when contacted
Saturn Transits (2.5 years/sign): Testing, responsibility, mastery. Difficult but builds lasting structures
Uranus Transits (7 years/sign): Sudden change, awakening, liberation. Breaks patterns and brings innovation
Neptune Transits (14 years/sign): Dissolution, spiritualization, confusion. Softens ego and opens mystical perception
Pluto Transits (12-30 years/sign): Transformation, death-rebirth, power issues. Complete metamorphosis of life area
Progressed Moon: Emotional focus shifts every 2.5 years (sign change). Most dynamic progression
Progressed Sun: Core identity slowly evolves. Sign changes are life-defining (rare - every 30 years)
Progressed Ascendant: How you present yourself matures. Sign changes every 20-25 years
Progressed-to-Natal Aspects: When progressed planet aspects natal planet, internal-external integration
Progressed New Moon: Major new beginning when progressed Moon conjuncts progressed Sun
Station/Retrograde: Progressed planet changing direction = major shift in that function
Transit-Progression Combo: Major life events require both inner readiness (progression) and outer trigger (transit)
Multiple Contacts: Same natal point hit by multiple transits = significant period of activation
Eclipse Points: Sensitive degrees activated by current eclipses bring fated events
Angular Houses: Transits to angles (ASC, IC, DESC, MC) are most impactful
Exact Aspects: When transit/progression becomes exact = peak manifestation time
Retrograde Passes: Three passes (direct-retro-direct) provide three chapters to same theme
Waxing Phase: Building toward manifestation. Take action, push forward
Waning Phase: Releasing, integrating lessons. Let go, reflect, prepare
Conjunction: New cycle begins. Plant seeds for next phase
Opposition: Full flowering or crisis. Maximum awareness and choice point
Life moves in spirals - each return to a point brings deeper wisdom
