			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are references about Indian astrology in ancient scriptures, Vedas and Puranas authored thousands of years ago in this part of the land. The first known treatise on Vedic Astrology is supposed to be authored by Lord Skanda the son of one of the trinities in Hindu religion, Lord Shiva the re-creator.Even today this treatise is available and stands testimony to the age of this branch of futurology.</p>
<p>Indian Vedic Astrology is known for its unique system of predictions and calculations. While western astrology basically follows the Sun signs and predictions are based on the the same, Indian Vedic Astrology takes into consideration the Moon sign, which is more broad, personalized and accurate. The signs of the zodiac being twelve the whole human race is divided into 12 equal divisions in other branches of Astrology and they are more of general in nature, the Indian Astrology make use of the Moon sign, and each Zodiacal sign is further sub divided into 9 thus making the calculations more subtle. Not only the zodiacal signs are classified according to constellations or &#8216;Nakshatras&#8217; as it is called in Sanskrit, The placement of the planets is also considered from these constellations. Indian Astrology based on Parasara system the conventional system widely followed in India, and later on sharpened by celebrities like Varahamihira, is a fool proof system. There is no second work on astrology to match the Brihatjathaka authored by Varahamihira the legendary figure in Indian Astrology.</p>
<p>One of the ancient and popular astrologers of Kerala, Thalakkulathur Bhattathiripad had written a comprehensive explanation only on the first 10 chapters of &#8216;Brihatjathaka&#8221; known as &#8216;Dasadhyayee&#8217; since he was of the opinion that the whole essence of Vedic Astrology had been summarized by Varahamihira in the first 10 chapters itself in his monumental work.Today the Vedic Astrologers, of Kerala, the cradle of Hindu Astrology, follows the latter work of Bhattathiripad and another unique treatise known as &#8216;Prasnamargam&#8217; the one and only comprehensive horary astrological treatise available today.</p>
<p>Indian Vedic Astrology apart from its unique system of prediction as explained above also follows the Dasa system based on the constellation of natal Moon in the birth chart to precisely predict the timing of events which no other branch of Astrology can boast of.In short it is one of the most scientific and reliable tools to have an insight into one&#8217;s personality and future events or circumstances that could help ease the life of an individual and lead a more comfortable life if not a perfect one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been a variety of books covering the subject of vedic astrology, in fact the origin of these systems came from the Vedas. The first book produced and is considered to be the oldest books known to man, which is approximately four thousand years old was a book entitled, Vedic Sciences. These are actually some of the most important scriptures from India, and Vedic does means knowledge, which encompasses the earthly phenomena past, present, and future.</p>
<p>Vedic astrology books informs its readers of the knowledge and the importance of this ancient work. It is the analysis and the forecasting system that on astronomical facts and data. This information allows individuals the ability to analysis this information so they can get a better understanding of movements of the planets and how it effects the behavior on man in the past, present, and in the future. Astrology is an essential that mandates man and nature to be combined and live in harmony with one another to prevent suffering and increase growing opportunities.</p>
<p>Vedic astrology or Jyotisha is greatly based upon the laws of nature combined with the cosmos, which are expressed in the unity of life. It is not relative of who you are, but instead it deals more with the karma within your life. It has been describes as the ability of any astrologer who is willing to view the behavior of an individual along with the cycles of life and their outcomes in reference to events and times. It is an underlying intelligence that is governed by precision, but is totally different from our more modern Western Astrology, which focuses its thinking on who your are and is very logical and little space for the unknown.</p>
<p>Ancient civilizations are believed to have used oral translation as a method of teaching, because there is not a large amount of evidence of written materials that we have today. Ancient Hindu philosophy has stated that the older civilizations were much smarter than we are today, due to the fact that they used much more of their brain capacity. In fact, they felt that modern man would be a genius if he used ten percent of his brain. Still these ancient civilizations left man several mysteries that modern man with all his available technology has not yet been able to understand or comprehend.</p>
<p>There has been a huge renaissance surrounding the vedic astrology, which began from the start of memorizing the planets all the way to how their special movements affected nature and man. Prior to the first books on vedic astrology oral teachings were extremely effective and efficient as students were able to remember over ninety percent what their teachers taught with one hundred percent comprehension. With the introduction of books students began relying more on being able to fall back on being able to look the information up, which was the only down to books.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.blue-moon.com">Astrology</a> is a body of beliefs, systems and traditions wherein knowledge of the relative placement of heavenly bodies and other related details are used in analyzing, interpreting, and gathering information about human affairs, personality and other terrestrial concerns. A number of applications and traditions that practice astrological concepts came about since its beginnings dating back from the 2nd millennium BCE. Throughout history, astrology has contributed in the molding of cultures, in shaping early astronomy and other disciplines.</p>
<p>Oftentimes, astrology and astronomy are perceived to be much alike, as astronomical observation mainly involves the desire for divinatory and predictive knowledge. However, astronomy started to veer away from astrology in the 18th century after a long and gradual period of separation. Since then, astrology has distinguished itself as the study of astronomical phenomena and objects. The types of astrology that modern astrologers use as their main traditions include Chinese, Indian, Mayan and Western astrology.</p>
<p>For over a thousand years now, Astrology has created a profound influence both on Eastern and Western cultures. Even in the middle era, the system of celestial sphere and heavenly bodies was said to have had an impact on the branches of knowledge and the world as a whole.</p>
<p>Moreover, astrology continues to play an important role in language, literature and the arts. For instance, the term influenza was coined as such because doctors once though t that this epidemic was caused by bad influences among the planets and stars. The term also comes from the Latin dis-aster, which means ‘bad star’, lunatic from Luna or the moon; mercurial from Mercury; jovial from Jupiter or Jove, venereal from Venus and Saturnine from Saturn. These words describe personal qualities that are said to be greatly influenced by the planet’s astrological characteristics. Also in literature, writers such as Sir William Shakespeare and Geoffrey Chaucer made use of astrological symbolism to their masterpieces that helped describe their works’ characters. In fact, it is even said that you must have a background of astrological symbolism if you are to well appreciate their literature. Even modern thinkers like Carl Jung believe in the descriptive power of astrology concerning the mind. In education, Dante Alighieri also saw the role of astrology in shaping modern science. Astrology has also influence the music scene with the orchestral suite known as “The Planets’ by British composer Gustav Holst.</p>
