Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which corresponds to what is observable and measurable in the sky. The sidereal zodiac is star-based, and measures the actual astronomical position of planets against the backdrop of the fixed-star constellations. This is a key difference from Western astrology, which uses the tropical zodiac based on the seasons. The Vedic natal chart is a circular chart that shows the position of the Sun, the Moon, and the planets (including the moon nodes) at the time and place of birth. The chart is divided into 12 segments called houses or bhavas, which represent different areas of life. Vedic astrology encompasses all of the different systems of divination taught and practiced in India. It is considered to be "the eyes of the Veda," which helps us see our life path clearly and our place in the larger flow of life.
