Jyotish (or Vedic astrology) is an ancient system of astrology that originated in India and is also known as the "Eye of the Vedas" or the "Science of Light." The word "Jyotish" comes from Sanskrit roots: "jyoti," meaning "light" or "radiance," and "ish," which can be translated as "divine power." Unlike Western astrology, which is based on the tropical zodiac, Jyotish uses the sidereal zodiac, which accounts for the actual positions of stars in the sky.

The Jyotish system includes a wide range of techniques and tools, such as the analysis of planets in houses and signs, calculation of planetary strength (shadbala), aspects, planetary interactions, and nakshatras (lunar mansions), all of which offer a more precise understanding of an individual's character and destiny.

This system has been practiced for thousands of years and remains popular among many who seek answers to important questions about their lives and strive for harmony.
