Vedic astrology.. is so depressing and negative.. a friend of mine told me about it.. I honestly hate it.. :/ and none of it is right what it says about me. -.- Anyone else feel the same way or have a bad experience with Vedic Astrology? The only one thing I saw that could apply is the Saggitarius rising; it's my 12th house in western and I am muscular/ a warrior like person whose philosophical and wise but I think it's because of the aspects my Aries moon have with my Cancer Mars and my Uranus first house.

Are you even sure you're Sag Rising in Vedid astrology? They use the sidereal zodiac. Unless you have a very late Sag Rising degree, you'd be a Scorp Rising to them.I agree, I think it's very fatalistic, however, I've been thinking and perhaps they can afford to be fatalistic because they're more accurate in predictions? The Sidereal zodiac more accurately reflects the sky above us (it's still not 100% accurate though since the constellations aren't all the same 30 degree size). In any case, in Vedic astrology I'm a Cap Sun with a Virgo Moon... Do I seem like one to you (as opposed to Aqua with a Libra Moon)? IP: Logged |

It teaches the wrong astrology by using side-e-real, so no, I don't like it. IP: Logged |

I haven't studied it...only poked around now and again and I can see how it applies on a more "spiritual" level but it doesn't work for me in reality like western does. There's an analogy using a tree to describe vedic, western, heliocentric and draconic but I can't remember it...it made sense though. I'm sure draconic was roots, I just found this article and thought I'd share it, it's an interview with pam crane and mentions the different systems http://www.theholytwelve.co.uk/talksandarticles/129-pam-crane-an-interview IP: Logged |

What I don't get about Vedic astrology is how it is so completely different from Western.In one system I am Virgo rising and in the other I am Leo rising.In one I have Mars in Aries and in the other I have Mars in Taurus.They have completely different personality traits.The house placements are different too.How do you reconcile the two??IP: Logged |

I've heard it's extremely accurate, especially for predictions. Ive aslo heard good things about Bazi being accurate for prediction (Chinese astro)But haven't been able to find a website that had any accurate readings or descriptions for me. And I have searched a lot as well as used many websites and free computerized reading services. Must not be looking hard enough :P ------------------

too fatalistic- no interest- also i feel like western astrology evolved to suit westerners needs somehow- like it is much less fatalistic and more i dunno it gives people more hope and room to grow.IP: Logged |

I've actually found Vedic astrology to be quite eye-opening and revealing. Very accurate. If people meant "too fatalistic" as in constricting against free-will... understandable, but I find it provides more free-will than not.IP: Logged |

Well vedic astrology is based on your fate, your struggles and rewards rather then psychology.
This is why vedic astrology so accurate for readings of specific dates or events.
If you really want to understand your personality with vedic astrology look into nakshatras
Also its translated from another language and a based on ancient texts. So the descriptions seem to be short and choppy, like parts are missing,

I've found that it describes me well.But it is fatalistic,so I stay away from it.That's also why I stay away from transits and predictive astro in general.Western has it's fatalistic side too.IP: Logged |

What doesn't make sense to me is how you can be a Gemini in the Vedic system and a Cancer in Western astrology----those two are almost like polar opposites.
How can you be a Leo rising in one system and Virgo rising in another? Once again,they are so different.I would like someone to explain that to me.IP: Logged |

It's interesting. One came thousands of years before the other. The other is a pho-ed up imitated version of the other. And you are surprised they are different? Give me the Indian and Chinese versions any day. The Western version is inaccurate for me and makes no sense. IP: Logged |

Vedic IS fatalistic though. It's the main reason why I don't register on any vedic forums. TBH I don't read the charts the same way as the experts in vedic would.I wanted to create a 'modern' vedic forum but I really don't have the time! IP: Logged |

I use Neo-Vedic Astrology.
It's the Vedic calculations with Tropical Astrology methods.
It's basically a mix of the two.IP: Logged |

The description that I read for my Nakshatra was terrible. In one part it told me something about how I'm not as caring as I act and then in the next paragraph it said that I have a good heart and I'm one of the most genuinely caring people you could ever meet???Umm... I did get a good laugh at it saying that I would make a great hitman AND priest. ------------------

I agree. Very negative and dull. Never has anything good to say. I think it's only meant for arranged marriages.IP: Logged |

I admit that I'm not a fan of vedic astrology however western (which I like very much) is fatalistic too and very much so  they just don't use raw words but is the same thing in end.If you have a certain placement you will be ****** PERIOD!!! Muahhahah Not a nice approach. IP: Logged |

I don't know, I think I'd like to know more if **** is going to be hitting the proverbial fan so I can prepare for it, than just for it to be all nice and sunshiney. I think of it more like a weatherman/woman. They'll tell you what the weather's going to be like or how it could happen, so you can batten down the hatches if you need to. IP: Logged |

I love Vedic, I think it tends to be a little more accurate to some things. I am a Cancer in western astrology but always have said I relate more to a Gemini. Also have to look at the Nakstras as they give a little more of a definition to things. As for being more like a Gemini, I have my mars and venus in Gemini so maybe this is why I feel this way.

The only time an astrologer spoke to me doing my chart, was a vedic astrologer.She got interested in my chart, and I don`t remember she telling me many difficulties, she asked me what I liked to do and that I had talend, I don`t remember it beeing that fatalistic, but I could see that she new stuff and that she had to think of how she would tell me it, I was younger than My vedic "jutsu" is the cow form early Cancer, and many of it I can relate.
