Vedic Astrology has been around since ancient times. Its isn’t just blind faith that belivers of astrology have, it is rather a science of stars and their relationships with in the solar system, popularly known as sidereal zodiac. In this astrology we consider even the Sun and Moon as planets and observations are based on geo-centric, considering the earth as the center of the universe. Vedic astrology aim at assessing the up and downs in a persons life and provides remedy to unfavorable times.

The Vedic astrology has 12 zodiac signs, 7 planets and two lunar nodes. Each of the seven planets rules two signs except the sun and moon rule a single sign. The lunar nodes namely Rahu and Ketu are accorded equal importance in a natal chart as any of the planets, except that they don’t rule any sign. Vedic astrology excludes planets Pluto, Neptune and Uranus for the reason that they too far away from the earth. Here is the break down on the signs, also known as Rashi rulership.
