1) Vedic Astrology Basic Principals1.1)Division of Universe and Rashi
According to the Bhrusut Parashari hora shatra the whole universe ismade of a
‘material’
called Narayana
. Out of it, only 1/8th part is perceivable byus and it is called Vasudeva. The rest of Narayana cannot be perceived byordinary mortals. Each one of us represents microform of Narayana.The entire zodiac is divided into 12 equal parts (each of 30degrees) and eachsuch part is called a rasi (sign).

. These divisions are based on real stars in the sky.
1.2) Meaning of Planet in Vedic Astrology :
ASC or Lagna
is a very important point in chart and it
shows you, self.
All theother planets show other people or circumstances that are influencing you. Sopositions of the nine planets (in their respective signs) around the Lagna at thetime of birth of a person, constitutes a rasi Chart. i).
Jupiter, the Brihaspati,
is the teacher of gods, represents our intelligenceand power of discrimination and Judgment. Jupiter is the teacher of gods. AllGods are within us – represents the good qualities in us.ii)
Venus, Sukracharya
, the teacher of the demons, represents the demonic /Rajas Qualities in us. Venus exists within you – rules enjoyment. The enjoymentis referred to high spirits and not meant to be harmful. As teacher of demons, hekeeps the demons under controliii)
Sun
shows the
soul
within you. Sun is the king of your existence.
iv)
Mars
is also called “Mahi Sutha” meaning son of Mahi (Earth) and is bornfrom the sweat of Shiva. Ma represented by
Subrahmanya,
stands for theinitiative, drive and aggression. Ma shows career. Ma shows the drive to dothings. Has the same energy as
Subrahmanya.
Ma governs the spirit of energy.v)
. Moon
represents the
mind
and shows the mood. Moon also represents theshodasa-kalas and the 16th divisional chart - shodasa varga chakra is ruled byMoon. Moon shows the mind –sometimes empty and sometimes full. The moongoes through various phases – 16 in total. Such as happy or sad – this alsoreferred to mood swings.vi)
Mercury
govern the
learning ability
. He is the adopted son of Ju but, bornto Mo and Tara Devi (w/o Ju). Ju did accept TaraDevi and Me as a student. Jurepresents an ideal teacher and Me represents an ideal student. Mind needssome input from intelligence – which needs an agent to process it and give it tomind, that is the learning ability. i.e. Mo (mind) gets the input from Ju(intelligence) through Me (learning ability)
Shiva is energy. Shakti is manifestation of that energy
. .Tara Devi (w/o Ju) isSthri Shakti is the manifestation or expression of intelligence (intelligence by itself lives in vacuum and means nothing). With this manifestation, is born the learningintelligence. Now Ju (the intelligence) accepts Me (learning ability) as a son,student. Me now process that intelligence and mind acts on that processedintelligence.
Intelligence = Guru, Learning ability = Buddha (process information) Mind =Mo (execution of information
)vii)
Saturn is discipline and hard work
. Without Sa there wouldn’t be anyachievement. For those who don’t work hard, he forces on them. He is alsocalled Sani or manda planet. discipline and the hard work needed is representedby the Saturnian energy. That is why we will see Sa strong in all of saints. Saalso shows steadfastness, nishkama karma yoga, austerity etc. Sa isPerceived as a bad planet, but he puts people to work and makes things happen.viii).
In Vedic astrology, there are so-called Varga chakras
or
divisionalcharts
that we create for a person in addition to the rasi Chart, and in thesecharts the ASC changes in few minutes.According to maharshis of our tradition, the rasi chart shows our physicalexistence and health (i.e. physical manifestation) and each of the Varga chakrasrepresents a specific area of our livese.g. education, career, marriage etc. for )
