Although the period of origin of Indian or Vedic astrology cannot be ascertained, it is believed to have evolved between 1200 BC to 2500 BC. Also known as the Vedangans, this branch of science has been mentioned in the Upanishads. There are six Vedangans, namely- Siksha (phonetics), Kalpa (ritual), Vyakarana (grammar), Nirukta (etymology), Chhandas (metrics) and Jyotishya (astrology).
Vedic astrology has often been accorded to various gods and Rishis, such as Parashara, Varahamihira, Garga, Jamini and their followers. They did not have any scientific tools to calculate the planetary motions, but had the divine intuition to record these motions accurately.
Vedic astrology holistically served two purposes. It was a key determinant to select the right date and time to perform auspicious rituals. Also, it was used as a guide to study the destiny of an individual. Talk to astrologer for any kind of astrological problems and get your right life track to live happy.
It is futile to decipher the name of the originator of Vedic Hindu astrology, but it has successfully prophesied the war of the Mahabharata. In fact, it details the popular horoscopes of Lord Krishna and Lord Rama and other ancient Indian kings and queens. In fact, the Bhishma Parva and the Udyoga Parva chapters of Mahabharata mention many astrological descriptions and omens just before the war of Mahabharata. These particular citations are also considered the period of drought with several planetary combinations. These works of astrology also have two references of a solar and a lunar eclipse, creating a 13-day lunar fortnight.
Interestingly, the term ‘graha’, which was earlier deciphered to be demons, is now believed to be ‘planets’. In the Vedanganas, have mention of eclipse-causing demons in the Atharvaveda and Chandogya Upanishads, the latter mentioning it as Rahu. The foundation of Hindu astrology is the notion of bandhu of the Vedas, which is the connection between microcosm and macrocosm. Hindu astrology primarily works on the fundamentals of sidereal zodiac, which is completely different from the tropical zodiac followed by the Western astrology.
