Personality according to signs of the Hindu horoscope

By | Derek Drew

Jyotish is what the Hindu or Vedic horoscope is called in India and stands out for being deeply rooted in its culture and being studied at its universities.

History of the Hindu horoscope

The first documented references to the Hindu horoscope are found in the ancient religious texts of this culture, the so-called Vedas, dating back to 1500 BC. Hence it is also known as Vedic astrology or Jyotish from the Sanskrit “Body of light, celestial.”

The influence of Western astrology is evident between 150 BC and 140 AD, probably through the texts of the Greek astronomer, geographer and mathematician Hipparchus (190 BC -120 BC).

Much of the ancient astronomical knowledge of this culture was lost in the Muslim invasion of 664 AD. Currently the pure Hindu horoscope is based on the classical astrology of medieval compilations, especially the Kalyāṇavarman texts. Even the popular Pitra Dosh Remedies are based on the texts.

Characteristics of the Hindu horoscope

The Hindu or Jyotish horoscope is also made up of 12 signs of the zodiac, but despite the aforementioned influences of the western horoscope, they have a lag due to the equinoctial precession.

It is also a sidereal astrology, that is, the position of the planets is observed in correspondence with the constellations, producing a mismatch in the signs of the zodiac with the Westerners. The Hindu horoscope is divided into three main branches, with different functions in the study and interpretation of the stars:

The Siddantas: Study the astronomical characteristics of the celestial bodies.

The Samhitas: Also called worldly astrology, studies and predicts macro-issues such as atmospheric phenomena, natural catastrophes, economic movements, wars, epidemics, etc.

The Phalitha Jyothisha: This is the Hindu astrology of the most personal predictions of horoscopes according to the birth chart of each individual.
