ASTROLOGY = JYOTISH ="JYOTI" AND "ISHA"
JYOTI=LIGHT/SOUL
ISHA=GOD
JYOTISH IS THE SCIENCE OF LIGHT, BOTH THE
LIGHT OF THE CELESTIAL BODIES AND THE
INTERNAL LIGHT OF THE SOUL
VEDIC ASTROLOGY USES EXTREMELY ACCURATE
ASTRONOMICAL CALCULATIONS TO DETERMINE THE
POSITIONS OF THE STARS AND THE PLANETS TO PREDICT
THE FUTURE OF INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS MUNDANE
AFFAIRS; THEREFORE, JYOTISH IS REFERRED TO AS
PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY.

THE 12 RASHIS
• THE GRAHAS (PLANETS) ARE CONSTANTLY MOVING
THROUGH THE ZODIAC.
• THE CIRCLE OF THE ZODIAC IS DIVIDED INTO 12 EQUAL
SEGMENTS CALLED CONSTELLATIONS OR RASHIS
(SIGNS).
• EACH RASHI (SIGN) OCCUPIES 30 DEGREES OF THE
CELESTIAL SPACE.
• EACH OF THE RASHIS (SIGNS) HAS A UNIQUE SET OF
ATTRIBUTES WHICH AFFECT ANY GRAHA (PLANET)
TRAVELING THROUGH THAT SIGN.
• THE SIGNS ARE ENVIRONMENTS THAT AFFECT THE
WAY A PLANET FEELS AND BEHAVES.
