Vedic Zodiac
Ancient India • 12 signs
Vedic Astrology (Jyotish Shastra), one of the six sacred disciplines of ancient Indian philosophy, uses the sidereal zodiac — aligned with the actual positions of the stars rather than the tropical seasons. Originating from the Vedas over 5,000 years ago, this system divides the sky into twelve Rashis (signs) — Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna, Karka, Simha, Kanya, Tula, Vrischika, Dhanu, Makara, Kumbha, and Meena — each governed by a planetary lord and connected to the five elements of Hindu cosmology. Vedic astrology places great emphasis on the Moon sign (Rashi) and the lunar mansions (Nakshatras), offering a deeply spiritual framework for understanding karma, dharma, and the soul's journey.
