How Indian Astrology Differs From Western Ideas and Systems Of Astrology

Indian astrology has been practiced for thousands of years, and its influence has extended internationally to include individuals in many nations. Due to this, millions of Westerners have seen a significant change in their way of life. However, astrology has changed significantly since it migrated from Indian soil to western territories.
Even if modern astrology has its roots in Vedic knowledge, you may have experienced confusion on several occasions when presented with so many varying astrological remedies.
Though we can't say that the Western concept of astrology is entirely incorrect, it still has some fundamental flaws. In what precise way? Here is a brief overview of the ways that Indian and Western astrology are different.
How Is Indian Astrology Different From Western Astrology?
    
Signs and Constellations

Many of us have observed that while the beginning dates of the signs in traditional and Western astrology signs differ, there are a few comparable dates. Because of this overlap caused by the different locations, Vedic astrology is known as the zodiac of constellations, and Western astrology is frequently referred to as the zodiac of signs.

Connection with Philosophy


Vedic Astrology is derived from the ancient philosophy of the Vedas, which is why some of its fundamentals are standard with Ayurveda. Astrology and Vastu also share several fundamentals and work together to create harmony.

Planets

The Navgraha, or the nine planets, is the central figure in Vedic astrology. But these planets are not what we usually believe them to be. Vedic astrology has never included planets like Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto in its system of astrology because they are invisible to the unaided eye. As a result, the planets up to Saturn, the sun, the moon, and the moon's nodes, Rahu and Ketu, are given particular attention in Vedic astrology. In contrast, Western Astrology also emphasizes the outer planets.

Nakshatra


Vedic astrology employs a system of 27 moon signs known as Nakshatras in addition to the 12 zodiac signs that are well-known to us. After that, each moon sign is split into four subsections, or Padas, for 108 Nakshatra Padas. The philosophy underlying Western astrology is entirely devoid of this.

Remedial Measures


In Vedic astrology, the concept of the Karma cycle is highly valued. As such, it not only points out the past, present, and future consequences of Karma but also offers several remedial actions, or Upayas, to assist a person in overcoming the negative impacts of evil Karma. With the aid of Vedic astrology, a person's star energy can be balanced, and their entire quality of life can be enhanced. The idea of rebalancing Karma is not typically found in Western astrology.

As previously discussed, Western astrology is not entirely incorrect or misguided; instead, it deviates from the astrology our Vedas prescribed.
