The term Vedic has been derived from the Vedas. The Vedic horoscopy is also better known as jyotish, meaning 'Science of light.' The Vedas encapsulated hymns sung in the praise of the lords. The Vedas are also a powerhouse of knowledge and wisdom. The Vedas followed a certain culture which was then known as 'bharat', now India. The Vedic horoscopes, thus, is all about knowledge, truth, absolute truth and the science of existence. The Vedas also contain knowledge astronomical science and are more than 5,000 years old. The best part about the Vedas and the Vedic horoscopy is the way it has been successful in preserving the ancient heritage and rich knowledge of the nation. It also speaks volumes about the numerous invasions of our country. In a nutshell, it can be said that the Vedic horoscopes are basically the science of purusha, science of spirit, science of karma and the manner in which it affects the matter. When we talk about the matter, it means the following things: Earth, water, fire, air and space. The initial four elements are predominant in our daily life but the fifth one is basically beyond the knowledge of a common man. Apart from the above mentioned elements, there is also the concept of the three 'Gunas' the term Guna means' something that binds.' The three Gunas mentioned in the Vedic horoscopes are listed below:
1) Sattwa: This term symbolizes knowledge, peace and harmony. The main aim of Sattwa is to bind us to the renowned worldly pleasures, which to an extent, also acts as a barrier in paving way for emancipation. At times, Sattwa is also expressed as soul.
2) Rajas- The term Rajas refers to pleasure, activities and motivation. Rajas helps in binding the motivation of an individual coupled with desire in order to produce pleasure. It is also expressed as emotions and mind.
3) Tams - Is referred to as ignorance, inertia, stability and attachment. Tamas is best expressed by a human body (physically). In this Guna, our tendencies are attached with our inertia to stick to form and situation.
Thus, The Vedic horoscopy is generally based on the above mentioned rituals and science. It is only after keeping them in mind that the astrologers jump to a conclusion regarding the fate of an individual.
On the other hand, the Chinese method of horoscopy differs from the Vedic one in a different way.
Just like the Vedic horoscopes. The Chinese Horoscopes consists of five different elements namely wood, water, metal, fire and earth. The lunar calendar in the Chinese Horoscopy has a cycle of sixty years. The fate of an individual, in the Chinese Horoscopy depends on which lunar year of the 60 year cycle was the individual born. It is also assumed that the five elements mentioned above make all of the matter combined with the twelve animal signs namely tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, monkey, lamb, pig, dog, ox, rooster and horse. The Chinese system of horoscopy is never based on dogmas or is fatal for an individual. An individual would never feel dominated or captured by his weaknesses. Rather, he/she would be propelled to explore the available resources in the most imaginative and feasible way. Instead of stopping someone, the Chinese horoscopes will propel a person to construct new ways; in case his/her present is unable to meet his/her future demands. Following such norms will automatically help a person in solving the worst of problems and overcoming the insurmountable as well. This is how the Chinese horoscope prepares someone for the worst so that he/she can achieve the best.
This is how; the Chinese system of Horoscopy is different from the ancient and the cultural system of Vedic horoscope. It is a good sign that, people have embraced both forms of horoscopy with open arms and hopefully, will continue to do so in the near future as well.
