Indian astrology, also known as Vedic astrology or Jyotish, is an ancient system of astrology that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is based on the belief that the positions of celestial bodies at the time of a person's birth can influence their personality and life events. This system uses a lunar calendar and focuses on the twelve zodiac signs, along with the nine planets, to create detailed birth charts. In Indian astrology, the birth chart, or Janam Kundali, is a crucial tool for analysis. Astrologers interpret the chart to provide insights into various aspects of life, including career, relationships, and health. The practice also includes remedies, such as wearing gemstones or performing rituals, to mitigate negative influences and enhance positive ones.
