Vedic Astrology Explained

Vedic astrology is based on the Veda, a set of Indian spiritual books. This set of four books includes spiritual teachings about life and is believed to be written by what is described as "higher beings". There are a total of four Vedas: Artharva, Rig, Sama and Yajur.

For many, Vedic astrology is used as a spiritual guide through life, and astrological predications are seldom considered wrong. This is because followers of Vedic astrology believe that man's spirit is guided through life by heavenly or divine beings, and those divine beings are never wrong. A Vedic horoscope chart is believed to be a chart of your destiny.

The Role of Fate and Free Will

The roles of both fate and free will are very important in Vedic astrology. Generally, fate and free will are not used in conjunction with one another, but in Vedic astrology, it is believed that your current and future fate is based on your past and present actions of free will. One way to help understand this interaction between fate and free will is this: In you life you have choices. You possess the free will to make a certain choice. Your fate, is then determined by the choices you make. This leads to another basic principle of Vedic astrology: Karma.

The Role of Karma

In the western world, Karma is often a very loosely used term. In the eastern world, Karma is very much a principle of life for many people and reaches well beyond the "what goes around comes around" cliché. In Vedic Astrology, the roles of fate, free will and Karma are indelibly intertwined. Your Karma is determined throughout your lives by the free will choices you make and this creates your fate. Your fate creates your Karma and your Karma is considered your destiny.
