Vedic Astrology also known as Jyotisha, is the oldest known astrological system in the world. It has been passed down orally in the Sanskrit language for thousands of years and written down much later by our sages. The positions of the stars, planets, moon and sun at the time of birth influence and affect every part of a person’s life. Just as the sun, moon and planets affect and create the tides in the earth’s oceans, they also affect the tides within each individual.
