Astrology vs. Superstition

Astrology is often confused with superstition but they both are entirely different.

Vedic astrology, also known as ‘Jyotish’ (the term ‘jyotish’ is derived from Sanskrit, referring to the ‘science of light’), is an ancient Indian system of astrology based on the principles of the Vedas, ancient Hindu scriptures. It explores the influence of celestial bodies on human lives, focusing on understanding karma and the intricacies of one’s life path through the analysis of planetary positions at the time of birth.

It explores the influence of the nine planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu) on various aspects of life, including personality, relationships, and career.
The 12 houses in Vedic astrology, each representing a specific area of life, are analyzed to understand their influence. Vedic astrology uses 27 constellations, or Nakshatras, each representing a different aspect of life and further refining the interpretation of planetary positions.

The Dasha system, or period of planetary influence, is used to predict life events based on the intensity of planetary cycles.

Vedic astrology is an ancient practice and uses scientific methodology to study the celestial bodies and their influence on human lives. It’s a complex system which takes into account multiple factors like planetary positions, zodiac signs, position of constellations etc for decoding their influence on life.

Superstition is an irrational belief that does not have any scientific reasoning. It is often driven by fear or anxiety leading to avoidance.
