- Astrology from India. Vedic astrology is astrology as practiced in India. It is sometimes called Hindu astrology. Vedic astrology is markedly different from western astrology. ... Vedic astrologers, like most western astrologers, do use a system of 12 houses with somewhat similar meanings for the 12 houses, and they also usea system of 12 zodiac signs which have similar meanings to those used by western astrologers, although they use a sidereal zodiac rather than a tropical zodiac. Vedic astrologers also use some aspects that are similar to traditional western astrology. They also use a chart called the navamsa chart which is the same as what harmonic astrology calls the 9th harmonic chart. The astrological influence assigned to each planet is substantially the same as that given by western astrologers. ... Vedic astrology uses a list of rules known as yogas to draw conclusions and Vedic astrology also employs many techniques like nakshatras (lunar mansions) which typically are not a part of western astrology. Philosophically as well as technically, Vedic and western astrology very often differ as well; Vedic astrology is often more specific and unwavering in its interpretation whereas modern western astrology often makes statement of a psychological nature and gives the person options for how to best handle the astrological influences. ...

- The western astrology has been influenced in a large degree by modern psychology. Most modern western astrology books are heavily influence by Jung and his theory of psychology. Many of the books on astrology are written by psychologists. ...
- The Eastern astrology disagrees with the Western astrology. ...
- The western astrology is based on the tropical zodiac, whereas the Eastern astrology is based on the siderial zodiac.

- Jewish astrology is also event oriented, but since it focuses on the soul of a person, it can not only predict events, but it can also get an in-depth understanding of a person not based on his psychological character, but based on his soul. More importantly, the three systems of astrology, Eastern, Western, and Jewish all try to effect a change in the person's life in completely different ways.

- What is Vedic Astrology? BY SHYAMASUNDARA DASA.
- Now you may be wondering "What is Vedic Astrology?" You probably have heard of astrology--who hasn't? Most people know what their Sun sign is in Western Astrology, but very few know about Vedic Astrology, the subject of this report. Even people who have only the slightest smattering of knowledge about astrology want to know what is Vedic Astrology and how it differs from the Western Astrology that they are accustomed to. To answer these questions I would first like to very briefly explain a little about Vedic Astrology and how it is different from its Western cousin. ...
- Vedic Astrology is technically termed a "sidereal system" whereas Western Astrology is "tropical. ...
- Vedic versus Western Astrology.
- Astrology is part of the Vedic literature, and has been preserved and handed down in the guru-parampara, the chain of apostolic succession, since time immemorial. Vedic Astrology is the original form of astrology that existed thousands of years ago in what is now known as the Indian subcontinent. ... The major differences between Vedic Astrology and modern Western Astrology are threefold: .
- First of all, Vedic Astrology is technically termed a "sidereal system" whereas Western Astrology is "tropical. ... Vedic Astrology is based upon the actual stellar constellations (sidereal), whereas Western Astrology is based on a fictitious zodiac that slowly moves backwards in space as a function of time ("tropic" in Latin means "to turn"). ... As of this writing (October, 1993), the beginning of the Western imaginary zodiac--their first point of Aries--is at 6. ... This is called the Age of Pisces in Western Astrology. ...
- Secondly, as already mentioned, Vedic Astrology is based on a very old, unbroken tradition since time immemorial whereas Western Astrology has had a very checkered history. Astrology virtually disappeared in the West during the Dark Ages (circa 500-1000AD); it resurfaced during the Renaissance, only to fall out of favor during the so-called Age of Reason. ... Western Astrology as we know it today has existed for about 130 years only when it began a resurgence. The point is that the Vedic tradition is very strong and vibrant, with the heritage of many millennia of accumulated knowledge, whereas Western Astrology does not have the advantage of an unbroken tradition.

I am by no means convinced that even some of the elements of astrology are "true".

- Introduction to the History of Western Astrology.
- How many of us know that Columbus’ quest for a new route to India, and his subsequent discovery of the New World was largely motivated by his rendering of a 14th century astrological treatise by a French Cardinal? Or the inspirational role astrology played in the development of modern navigational, charting, and map-making technologies? And that through the late Renaissance the terms astronomia and astrologia were used interchangeably? Or that until the late 17th century, throughout Europe, astrology was included in the syllabus of every well educated person? That some of the most important pioneers of the development of the modern outlook, such as Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Francis Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Sir Isaac Newton, were explicators of a hermetic (thus, tacitly astrological) world view?.
- Despite the prominent role astrology played in the development of western thought and science, the history of astrology has been jammed into the back of the scholastic closet by science historians and classicists alike. ... Moreover, the rise of ‘popular’ and ‘new age’ astrology has fueled a number of misconceptions regarding the development and practice of astrology, for which there is absolutely no basis in the historical record (providing fuel for the ridicule of astrology’s most vehement detractors). However, in the last fifteen years a spate of thoughtful books and essays have been published that chronicle astrology’s journey through the intellectual and social history of Europe. These studies have made astrological history far more accessible than it has been in the past, and demonstrate that astrology’s role in the development of science, philosophy, politics, religion and the arts is too substantial to continue to be overlooked.
- In this broad survey, we will examine the emergence of astrology’s roots in Neolithic culture; its central place in the astral religion and mythology in early city-states and empires in Egypt, India, Mesopotamia, Central America; its development through the lens of early rationalist science and mathematics, religion, and philosophy in the Mediterranean region; through to its celebration as the “Queen of Sciences”, in the Mediaeval and Renaissance periods, and its pivotal role in the development of empirical science, medicine, navigation, and the high arts; the reasons for its decline in the early modern period; and its subsequent revival and impact on the culture of the 20th century.
