Astrology of India 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. 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.

Indian astrology is generally based on the concept of fate, and this includes Hora (personal astrology). The theory is that a person is born at the exact time and place when their fate is in mathematical harmony with the progress of the stars in heaven.

Astrology simply provides a tool to help you understand who you are when you are born, what your future possibilities are, what are your limitations, what are your personal strengths and weaknesses. What type of profession and life partner will suit you, and what remedial measures you should take in your life to avoid problems and pitfalls. In other words, astrology simply provides a roadmap of your destiny, but your final destination remains in your hands.
