Vedic Astrology, also known as Vedanga Jyotisha, has ancient Indian origins dating back over 7,000 years. It finds its roots in the spiritual texts of the Vedas, especially the Rig Veda. Jyotish, meaning "science of light," was traditionally shared orally from teacher (guru) to student (sishya). It served as a tool for ancient sages to grasp how celestial energies impact our lives through time.
