Basic Concepts of Astrology
Faithful horoscope watching practised daily, provides just the sort ofsmall hut warm and infinitely reassuring fillip that gets matters off to a spirited start
— Shana Alexander
To understand the 4th coming chapters, a basic knowledge of Astrology is essential. Astrology; the science of stars becomes an art when one predicts forth coming events with the help of the chart. Birth date, time and place are of primary importance in formulating the Birth Chart/Horoscope. A horoscope is but a pictorial representation of the placement of stars in the sky at the time of birth of a person, at the particular date, time and place.
It is the culmination of all astronomical tools with which an astrologer (a person; a specialist who can read the horoscope and is able to predict the event, post reading), can predict the events in one’s life. There are various techniques used by an astrologer that helps him do so. All these techniques are based on the movement or positioning of planets, signs, stars as well as several other astronomical factors.
These are the building blocks of astrological practice. Vedic astrologers roughly follow the 10 basic factors-of which 5 are astronomical factors and the other 5 factors are derivations based on these factors.

Zodiac
Planets
Nakshatras

Astronomical Factors
1. The Solar System: Our solar system is heliocentric, i.e., the Sun is in the centre and all the planets viz., Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto revolve around the Sun, in an elliptical path. As we stand on the Earth and observe the whole system revolving around us, similarly while studying astrology we take the solar system as geocentric, i.e., the planets and the Sun are moving around the Earth in the same elliptical path. The Sun, which is a star and the Moon, which is a natural satellite of the Earth are considered as planets in Astrology. In the Vedic system of Astrology, there are 2nd shadowy points known as Rahu and Ketu also recognized as planets. They are not physical bodies but are mathematically calculated sensitive points of intersection of the orbit of the Sun and the Moon. They always move in the reverse motion. This motion is known as retrograded motion. The Sun and the moon never retrograde. The remaining planets are direct in motion but due to some forces they become stationary or are sometimes retrograded when they are at certain distance from the Sun. They regain their natural courses again after some time.
2. Zodiac: The Earth rotates on its axis from the west to the east which is why we see the Sun rising from the east and setting in the west. The path on which the Sun appears to travel is known as the solar path (Fig.1). Heavenly bodies are present at the extent of 9 degree above and 9 degree below (total of 18 degrees) this solar path. This broad belt is known as the Zodiac.
Figure 1. Solar Path
A circle has 360 degrees, since the zodiac is circular in shape; it too has 360 degrees. We have 12 signs present in this belt. Hence, each sign would have the extent of 30 degrees each. The stretch starts from 0 degrees, Aries, which is then subsequently followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Different signs have different characteristics, which play an important role in the delineation of astrological charts. The planets move in these 12 signs. Details of such characteristics are given further in this chapter.
Figure 2. Zodiac Belt showing signs with degrees
3. Planets: Astronomically there are 9 planets known to us, viz., Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. As we have already discussed in Vedic astrology the Sun, the moon and the 2 shadowy planets, Rahu and Ketu are also considered as planets. Each sign in the Zodiac is ruled by a planet.
Another thumb rule is that different signs have different characteristics. Similarly different planets also have different characteristics. Since the signs and planets play an important role in the astrological charts, they are described later in this chapter.
4. Nakshatras: Nakshatras also known as asterisms or birth constellations. They are a group of stars with a definite shape spread across the signs of the zodiac belt. They are 27 in number each with an extent of 1 3 degrees and 20 minutes. Each nakshatra is divided into four parts of 3 degree and 20 minutes known as pada or charan. Each pada has its own characteristics. Interestingly, each sign of the zodiac covers 2 1/4 nakshatras i.e., 4+4+1= 9 padas.
Nakshatras are further grouped in three’s; known as triad, ruled by a planet known as its lord - means to govern. These nakshatras are influenced by the characteristics of their lords. So there are 9 groups of these triads.
Table 1. Showing Triad of Nakshatra with its Lord
The 1st Nakshatra Ashwini starts from 0 degree of the zodiac, i.e., Aries and Ketu is its lord. This is followed by Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury follow in this sequence till the end of the sign Cancer. The same sequence starts from 0 degree, from Leo and Sagittarius till Scorpio and Pisces respectively.

5. Time: Time differs from country to country. The Sun rises in the eastern countries earlier than the western countries. India is five hours and 30 minutes ahead from Greenwich Mean Time. Local Mean Time, Standard Time of a country or a Zone are also taken into consideration while making a horoscope. Sidereal Time is another measure taken into consideration while making a horoscope. It is time, which is derived from the Earth’s rotation with respect to a fixed star. The duration of one sidereal day is 23 hours and 56 minutes. Whenever the time is calculated with reference to sidereal day then it is called as Sidereal Time.
Derived Factors
I. The Birth Chart
For predicting any event, an astrologer needs a description of the stars at the time of the birth of a person. This birth chart is also known as the Horoscope, Janma Kundli or Janma Patrika. As discussed earlier it is based on the pictorial depiction of stars at the time of birth at that particular date and place. (Making a birth chart is an intricate mathematical exercise, which is beyond the scope of this
