			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The curiosity to know about our future is there in all human beings. Many times, almost all of us get entrapped in the situations and circumstances in our lives, where we start thinking about an unseen force working for or against our wishes, upon which we have no control of ours. Nothing is written in stone or Sanskrit that these are definite things that will happen. What you can count on is that astrology makes predictions based on the month you were born. Indian Vedic astrology is one area of astrology that many feel is the best astrology to be found. Astrology has a long and honorable tradition in India.</p>
<p>Indian Vedic astrology is different than the Western zodiac used by most Americans. Western astrology has roughly the same constellations but they use a fixed rotation that has been constant since their inception in Ancient Greece. The Indian Vedic constellations allow for the earth and sun&#8217;s rotation and the sun&#8217;s path through the heavenly bodies. Over time, this live astrology has seen a shifting of twenty-two degrees in difference to the Western astrology.</p>
<p>Also called Hindu astrology, the celestial sequences that make up the constellations are divided into twelve equal parts. This is based on the three hundred and sixty degrees of the ecliptic. Each part of the ecliptic is called a sign. The signs themselves are given names based directly on the translation of the Greek names, such as &#8220;the bow&#8221; or &#8220;the ram.&#8221;</p>
<p>In Hindu communities, the astrology sign plays heavily on how people think and what they do. Take for example a baby&#8217;s name. It is based on the Jyotish (zodiac) sign under which he or she is born. They even believe that successful marriages and unions are based on compatible zodiac signs. The zodiac sign plays a huge significance in every aspect of their lives. There are three branches of the Jyotisa (called the zodiac sign). These branches are Siddhanta, Samhita and Hora. Each of the three covers some part of the follower&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>Indian Vedic astrology is a very interesting subject that deserves more than just a mere article. It has a rich and colorful history that is not easily summed up in a few paragraphs. If you are interested in learning more about this branch of astrology, then there is a website that may be able to help you out. That website is &#8220;Indian Vedic Astrology&#8221;. The website offers personalized readings for your career or your romantic side. Go to the website and enjoy the information you will find.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actually spiritual astrology is the only kind of astrology there is. Ultimately astrology is the study of the soul integrating with the physical world. When you come into embodiment, there is an inner potential that you have; something unique that only you can contribute to the universe. This is something that stems from your soul, the ephemeral part of you that is most akin to God than anything else in your life.</p>
<p>Your soul then determines what kind of jobs you&#8217;ll have, your relationships, and how you are going to deal with things. It is the different parts of your soul that astrology seeks to define through it&#8217;s modalities: cardinal, fixed, mutable, earth, fire, water, and air. What you do, how you do it, and who you do it with are actually very much a part of what your soul is.</p>
<p>Why do we do these things?It is because through these situations and actions we fulfill the fullness of our spiritual potential. Spirituality is not accomplished only within the walls of a church, it is done through the totality of all that we do. Since astrology seeks to describe and predict the total various parts of our lives, astrology de facto is very spiritual.</p>
<p>There are various forms of astrology in use today, and to varying degrees their systems have retained the original spiritual clarity. There is also the factor of the level of the spirituality of the astrologer himself, the reading is only going to be as spiritual as the person giving the reading. One of the spiritual clearest forms of astrology today is Vedic astrology; which is also called Indian or Hindu astrology.</p>
