What is Vedic Astrology?
Introduction to Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrology is the traditional system of astrology of India that is at least 4000 years old. It is also known as Jyotish, Indian astrology, Eastern astrology, or Hindu astrology. It has recently gained popularity in the West because of its accuracy in predicting events and major trends in our lives. Vedic astrology is an excellent tool for helping us understand our dharma or life purpose as well as for giving us specific timetables for making decisions about career, finances, relationship, health, spiritual growth, etc. It is based on the sidereal zodiac which calculates the positions of the planets according to observable astronomy.

Astro-Profiles of Celebrities

Vedic astrology becomes the most interesting when you see it working in people's lives, especially popular celebrities. The Astro-Profile articles are lengthy well-researched lessons full of practical examples, which makes learning fun, intriguing and engaging.

The latest Astro-Profile article is entitled, The Dashamsha Chart: The 10th Part of Glory. Without the use of divisional charts Jyotish is a "crude affair and blunt instrument" my teacher says. This article teaches how to refine our interpretive skill through the use of the Dashamsha chart, the key division for career success. It uses quotes from classic texts and examples to show what yogas and planetary positions bring success. It also shows detailed examples of how to use the dashamsha for birth time rectification.

By analyzing the charts of Mark Hammil, Cary Grant, Wilt Chamberlain, Padre Pio, Richard Bach, Meryl Streep, Gerald Ford, George Lucas, Lord Byron, Herman Hesse and many others the principles of using the Dashamsha chart come alive.
