The Hindu Astrology system comprises of Nine Planets called as the Navagrahas. The Dasa system shows which planets may be said to have become particularly active during the period of the Dasa. The word Dasha (‘planetary period’) means ‘state of being’ and therefore the Dasa governs to a large extent the state of being of a person. Remedial measures are in general the high-water mark of all realistic predictive astrology work and go a long way in mitigating Karma.ĭasas in Hindu Astrology – Planetary Periods
Of the greatest importance is the Abhisheka Nakṣatrya which is the King amongst all the Nakshatras and worshipping and propitiating this Nakshatra has the power to remedy all the other Nakshatras. Each nakshatra is divided into quarters or padas of 3☂0. Today, a rigid system of 27 nakshatras covering 13☂0’ of the ecliptic each is generally used. Historical (medieval) Hindu astrology enumerated either 27 or 28 nakshatras. Nakshatras in Hindu Astrology – Lunar mansionsĪ Nakṣhatra or lunar mansion is one of the 27 divisions of the sky, identified by the prominent star(s) in them, used in Hindu astrology.

After two millennia, as a result of the precession of the equinoxes, the origin of the ecliptic longitude has shifted by about 22 degrees. This difference becomes noticeable over time. While synchronically, the two systems are identical, Jyotiṣa uses primarily the sidereal zodiac (in which stars are considered to be the fixed background against which the motion of the planets is measured), whereas most Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac (the motion of the planets is measured against the position of the Sun on the Spring equinox). Vedic (Jyotiṣa) and Western zodiacs differ in the method of measurement. Each twelfth part (of 30 degrees) is called a sign or Rasi (Sanskrit : ‘part’). The Nirayana, or sidereal zodiac, is an imaginary belt of 360 degrees, which, like the Sayana, or tropical zodiac, is divided into 12 equal parts. Each sign was divided in three more strata called “charna” similar to decanates of Western astrology. There are sixteen Varga (Sanskrit : varga, ‘part, division’), or divisional, charts used in Hindu astrology : Rasi in Hindu Astrology – Zodiacal SignsĪround 2500 BC many extant texts were written by sages such Agastya and Bhrigu. Practice relies primarily on the sidereal zodiac in this kind. The foundation of Vedic astrology is the notion of bandhu of the Vedas, (scriptures), which is the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Early jyotiṣa is concerned with the preparation of a calendar to fix the date of sacrificial rituals. Nothing is written on planets. There are mentions of eclipse causing “demons” in the Atharvaveda and Chandogya Upaniṣad, the Chandogya mentioning Rahu. In fact the term graha, which is now taken to mean planet, originally meant demon. The Ṛigveda also mentions an eclipse causing demon, Svarbhānu, however the specific term of “graha” becomes applied to Svarbhānu in the later Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa. Jyotisa is one of the Vedanga, the six auxiliary disciplines used to support Vedic rituals. Jyotisha (or Jyotishyam from Sanskrit jyotissa, from jyotis- “light, heavenly body”) is the traditional Hindu system of astrology, also known as Vedic astrology. Vedanga Jyotisha is one of the earliest texts about astronomy within the Vedas. However, historical documentation shows that horoscopic astrology in the Indian subcontinent came from Hellenistic influences, post-dating the Vedic period.
