Vedic Astrology vs Western Astrology: Understanding the Key Differences.
Vedic Astrology, rooted in ancient Indian scriptures, uses the sidereal zodiac, which aligns calculations with actual planetary positions. It emphasizes karma, past life deeds, and destiny, offering deep insights into spiritual growth, career, marriage, and life purpose. Vedic astrology also focuses heavily on the Moon sign (Rashi) and Nakshatras, making predictions more personalized and precise.
On the other hand, Western Astrology is based on the tropical zodiac, linked to the Sun’s movement through the seasons. It highlights psychological traits, personality, and self-expression, primarily through the Sun sign. Western astrology often centers on individuality, free will, and modern interpretations rather than karmic influences.
In simple terms, Vedic Astrology provides predictive accuracy about life events, while Western Astrology helps understand personality and psychology. Both systems hold value—Vedic for destiny-driven guidance and Western for self-awareness.
Whether you choose Vedic or Western astrology, both are powerful tools that bring clarity, direction, and deeper understanding of life’s journey.
