History of Vedic Astrology

As the name implies, the roots of Vedic astrology reach back to the Four Vedas, ancient Hindu scriptures written in early Sanskrit around 1200 BCE that contain ritual guidance, mantras, governing philosophies and divine revelations. Vedas translates as knowledge and the practice of Vedic astrology was born from seers and sages that sought to translate divinity into daily life. In this sense, Vedic astrology is more innately tied to spirituality than its Western counterpart.
