Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish Shastra, is a powerful ancient science that helps us understand our life path through the study of planets and stars. If you are new to Jyotish, the first step is to know your Janma Kundali or birth chart. This chart is like a map of the sky at the exact time, date, and place of your birth.
In Vedic astrology, your birth chart is divided into 12 houses (Bhavas) and 9 planets (Navgrahas). Each house represents a different part of your life—like health, family, money, career, and marriage. The planets sitting in these houses and their relationships with each other tell us a lot about your nature and future.
The most important elements of your chart are your Lagna (Ascendant), Moon sign, and Sun sign. These three are the base of your personality and destiny. By understanding them, you get deep insights into who you are, what challenges you may face, and what strengths you have.
Learning Jyotish is like learning a new language. Start slow, be curious, and try to connect the knowledge to your daily life. You can use free online tools or consult a trusted astrologer to make your birth chart. Once you begin to understand your chart, you’ll start to see how beautifully the stars guide your journey.
