Rooted in the Vedas, India’s ancient system of knowledge, Vedic Astrology is based on the belief that the stars and planets have a powerful influence on our lives. According to Hindu teachings, life is meant for spiritual growth. This growth is, in part, facilitated by Karma, the concept that every thought and action hasa corresponding reaction. The Vedas say that a person’s Karma is directly related to the position of the planets and stars, and thus Astrology is the method of understanding one’s karma by analyzing these positions.
