What is Vedic Astrology?

Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is the traditional Hindu system of astrology that uses the sidereal zodiac — which accounts for the actual position of constellations in the sky. Unlike Western tropical astrology, Vedic positions are shifted by approximately 24 degrees (the Ayanamsa).

This means your Vedic Sun sign may differ from your Western Sun sign. For example, someone who is an Aries in Western astrology may be a Pisces in Vedic astrology.

How to Read Your Vedic Chart

Your Vedic chart shows the same planets but in sidereal positions — typically shifted back by about 24 degrees compared to your Western chart. The most important difference is usually your Ascendant (Lagna), which determines the house layout.

Note that your Vedic signs may be different from your Western signs. This is normal and reflects a different frame of reference, not an error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using our astrology calculator

Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac (based on seasons), while Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac (based on actual constellations). Due to the precession of equinoxes (~24° shift), your Vedic signs are typically one sign earlier than your Western signs.

Neither is objectively "more accurate" — they are different frameworks. Many astrologers find value in using both systems together for a more complete picture. Vedic is astronomically aligned, while Western is seasonally aligned.

The Ayanamsa is the angular difference between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs. The Lahiri Ayanamsa is the most widely used in Indian astrology, officially adopted by the Indian government. We use Lahiri for all Vedic calculations.
