What is Jyotish or vedic astrology
astrology lessons basic chart interpretation
Jyotish means: Jyotisa (Sanskrit jyotisa, from jyotis- "light, heavenly body": also spelled Jyotish and Jyotisha in English) is the ancient Indian system of astronomy and astrology (also known as Indian astrology, Hindu astrology, and of late, Vedic astrology).

Jyotish is Astrology according to the ancient astrological tradition from India. Jyotish is the science of reading a number of charts,listings, and other mathematical formulas, tables and grids, all of which are based on the movements of the planets in our solar system.

Jyotish works. If you have doubts, don't. I personally guarantee you right now that Jyotish works to a very significant and obvious degree. This will be seen by anyone who spends enough time to learn it. If you don't, you will never know why I can be so sure. If you do,you wll be just as sure.
To do Jyotish you take the moment and place a person was born, and using scientific methods you calculate the positions of the planets in the zodiac at that time, then draw them in a chart which has as it's starting reference point the sign rising on the Eastern horizon for the place of the birth at the birth moment, and with that sign known, the
Houses of the chart can be known and the planets correctly placed in them. Then other calculations and items or astrological objects are created by the astrologer (or software program). The basic chart is formed mainly of the 12 Signs, 12 Houses and 9 planets.

The significance of the 12 houses are:
1.Laga - Nature of Native, Appearance, Health, Character, Purpose of Life
2.Dhana - Wealth, Family, Domestic Comforts, Early Education, Inheritance
3.Parākrama - Younger Brothers and Sisters, Communication (Talking, Writing, Business Documents), Intelligence, Later Education, Short Journeys
4.Suhṛda - Mother, Education, Home, Property and Land, Surrounding in Old Age
5.Suta - Children, Lover, Recreation, Devotion, Speculation and Gambling, Creativity
6.Ripu/Roga - Health, Maternal uncle and aunt, Litigation, Servants, Mental Worries, Enemies
7.Kāma - Spouse, Business Partner, Death, Trade, Agreement, Honour and Reputation
8.Mrityu - Sex, Longevity, Failure, Family of spouse, Dowry, Inheritance, Imprisonment
9.Bhāgya - Luck, Higher learning, Travelling, Religion, Mentor, Father, Prosperity
10.Karma - Profession, Status, Power, Father, Mother-in-law, Government and Business
11.Āya - Friends, Hopes, Earnings, Club or Social Activities, Elder Brothers and Sisters, Daughter/Son-in-law
