What is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic astrology user Moon sign and ascendant to analyze an individual's birth chart. Vedic birth chart uses sidereal ephemeris which measures planetary positions with respect to zodiac signs and marker stars in different constellations. Vedic astrology subdivides the sky into 27 marker stars called "Nakshatras". The Moon traverses through all the 27 Nakshatras in one lunar month spanning from new Moon through full Moon and next new Moon. Moon spends about 27 hours in each Nakshatra. In mythology all 27 Nakshatras are daughters of Emperor Daksha married to Moon. Ascendant is the sign at the eastern horizon on the day of individual's birth at a given geographical location. It defines an individual's self and character. The ascendant is the key to define 12 Vedic houses called "Bhavas".
