Jyotish — the science of light
There is more to your chart than you have seen
Vedic astrology uses a different calculation — one that accounts for the Earth's wobble over millennia. Most people discover their Sun, Moon, or Rising sign is actually the one before.

The Vedic Difference
Why your sign shifts back ~24°
Western astrology fixes the zodiac to the seasons. Vedic astrology tracks the actual constellations — which have drifted over 2,000 years due to Earth's axial precession.
Western Gemini → Vedic Taurus
~24° difference
Born May 25? You are likely a Taurus in Vedic astrology, not Gemini.
The shift affects your Sun, Moon, Ascendant — every placement.
27 Nakshatras
Lunar mansions that reveal personality nuances. Where Western has 12, Vedic has 27 — 2.25x more specific.
Dasha Timing
Planetary periods that predict life phases. Know which planet rules your current chapter — and when it shifts.
Whole Sign Houses
Each sign = one house, creating cleaner interpretations. The system classical texts were written for.
The 27 Lunar Mansions
Your Moon's nakshatra reveals your emotional nature
While Western astrology stops at “Moon in Cancer,” Vedic astrology goes deeper. Each sign contains 2-3 nakshatras, each with distinct personality signatures.
Your nakshatra determines your dasha sequence — the planetary periods that shape your life's major chapters. It is the most personal point in your chart.
Example: Two people with “Moon in Leo”
Authority, ancestors, legacy
Pleasure, creativity, romance
Same Moon sign. Very different people.

Moon in Ashlesha
Cancer • 4th House • Gandanta point
You have an unusual ability to sense what people are not saying. In conversations, you are tracking subtext, body language, what is being avoided. This makes you excellent at negotiation but exhausting at family dinners — you cannot turn it off.
Ashlesha is the serpent nakshatra. There is a coiled quality to your emotions — you do not reveal your full self easily, and you test people before letting them in. This is not paranoia; it is pattern recognition from early experiences where trust was complicated.
The 4th house placement ties this to home and family. The very people you are closest to are the ones you read most intensely...
Your chart has 9 planets — each with its own story

The North Indian chart, explained
This diamond shape has been used in Northern India for centuries. Unlike Western circular charts, the houses stay fixed — it is the signs that rotate based on your rising sign.
