Vedic vs Western Astrology

Many people are confused about their rising sign; the planet's placement in the sign or in the house is not matching. What could be the reason for this? Have you thought about this? The reason could be the difference between Vedic (Indian) and Western astrology. 

The basic difference between the two systems is that the Vedic zodiac is Sidereal and the Western is Tropical. 

The Tropical Zodiac is figured from the location of the Sun. When the Sun crosses the Vernal Equinox which is the midpoint of the extremes of the Sun's apparent distance as seen from the Earth travels from North to South during the year. In Western or tropical astrology the Sun's position on the 'first day of spring' designates the beginning of the zodiac's first sign (Aries). 

Vedic Astrology has a very highly developed system of analysis. Vedic Astrology emphasizes on the house, signs of the planets, and their meanings according to the house rulerships. This system is not based upon the orbit of the Earth around the Sun or the seasons on Earth as is the Western tropical system. But it is based upon the actual placement of the Sun and planets in relation to the fixed constellations (Nakshatras).

In Sidereal (Vedic) astrology, the zodiac is aligned with 27 constellations or fixed star groups while Western astrology uses the moving zodiac. Because the earth tilts on its axis—known as the precision of the equinoxes. The zodiac appears to be moving at about 1/60th of a degree per year, which would make the current relative/movable zodiac almost an entire sign of the zodiac off from the fixed zodiac. The current mathematical difference between the two systems is about 24 degrees and you need to subtract 24 degrees from the planetary degrees in your Western chart to arrive at your Vedic chart. Because of this difference, you will most likely be your Sun sign back in Vedic astrology from the one you have in Western astrology. For example, according to Western astrology, your Sun sign is in Leo but In the Vedic system, it could be in Cancer.  

 

The other difference between Western and Vedic systems is western astrologers use the degree of the Ascendant as the beginning of the first house. For them it does not matter whether houses are equal or unequal. But Vedic astrologers use the whole sign house system. Where the Ascendant degree can fall anywhere in the first house, but each house is considered as only one sign. 

The logic behind why Vedic astrology is more accurate is because of the concept of dasha system used in vedic astrology. In Vedic Astrology we use nakshatra (lunar mansion) for dasha calculation. Dashas are predictive timelines based on the positions of the planets in the fixed zodiac. These “planetary ruling periods” are unique in Vedic astrology. We also use harmonic chart charts to look into more detail in the specific area of life but this system is not used by western Astrologers.
