Vedic astrology offers a spiritual understanding of one’s karma, destinies, and the soul’s journey. Western astrology, in contrast, touches the more external aspects of personality, as well as the psychological aspects. Both systems are certainly valuable. However, for one to become aware of their true life purpose, Vedic astrology is more accurate and offers a more profound understanding. Shilpaa Stish has combined more than 8 years of experience practicing and mastering Vedic astrology with intuitive and spiritual counselling helping individuals find their energized focus and self-empowerment through her customized Vedic astrology consultation.
Vedic astrology and Western astrology — What sets them apart?
The Origin and System
Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which aligns with the position of the Sun with respect to Earth's seasons. Vedic astrology, in contrast, employs the sidereal zodiac, which follows the true constellations in the sky. Over the centuries, this difference has resulted in a discrepancy of some 23 degrees between the two systems — your Sun sign according to Western astrology might not be the same as according to Vedic astrology.
Also, Vedic astrology places emphasis on the Moon sign and nakshatras (lunar constellations), which show emotional patterns and inner tendencies. This gives a more subtle insight into your mind, emotions, and spiritual path.
