What is the Difference Among Vedic Astrology and Western Astrology?

By Sathji Umanga


Very first of all, the Vedic procedure uses a constellational method to measure the zodiac; that is, it uses the actual constellations in the sky to mark out the signs in the zodiac. Basically it's more astronomically accurate; it is referred to as the sidereal zodiac. The Western technique uses the tropical zodiac, which determines the boundaries on the twelve signs by marking out exact thirty degree sections from the sky starting in the vernal equinox; that is, the definite position from the Sun on a very first day of spring.



Sidereal astrology is constellationally based; tropical (western astrology) is seasonally based. This can be not a importance judgment on 1 system being far better than the other. You could also say that the Vedic-sidereal system is based on the relationship between the earth and the stars, whereas the Western-tropical program is based on the relationship between the Earth and the Sun.

Interpretationally, the Vedic program describes incredibly accurately your acts, your jobs, family, health, etc. and other situations within your life. The Western method describes your mind and psychology: what you believe about, your psychological disposition, how you relate for the parents, children, and friends. In short, Vedic astrology describes what you do, Western describes what you think.

A great deal of folks also ask how can there be two different charts to your exact same person. That is since from the Vedic you will be a Pisces, but in the Western you will be an Aries; which one is right? The only answer I can give there's that they're two a variety of interpretation styles in accordance with two a variety of measuring systems. Theoretically they are equal to every other.

It could be argued that the Vedic system is additional accurate since it's a program that may be fairly intact. The Vedic tradition is from India wherever spiritual disciplines have not changed in thousands of years. Western culture however has suffered tremendous losses though the ravages from the Dark Ages in Europe, wherever literacy was quite rare and open minded spiritual inquiry was stamped out by the Church in your thousand years. Western astrology carries the baggage of the materialistic "intellectual" culture and is crude compared for the complexity and subtle refinement on the Vedic astrological system.
