Because the name ‘Vedic’ is based on ‘ Vedas’ – the four religious Hindu scriptures – the general belief is that it is completely different to Western astrology, and more pious, as it was been told to ancient seers by god. Indian astrology, also called as Vedic astrology, is distinctly different from its western counterpart in many ways. With a population of over 1.3 billion, the magnitude of astrological influence on Indian society can easily be estimated to be hundreds of millions of people, several billion dollars, millions of marriages every year and much more. Besides marriage, millions of Indians make numerous other important decisions, such as business and career choices on the basis of astrology, making India a major consumer of astrology. There are other elements involved in this decision such as finance, education, etc, but astrological compatibility is the very first filter applied invariably in the selection process. This may sound strange, but the vast majority of arranged marriages in India, which make up about 90% of all marriages, occur only after the matching of birth charts. In places such as India, astrology is an integral part of society. ![]()
