A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO VEDIC ASTROLOGY
I DO NOT PLAGIARIZE, COPY OR REWORD ANY OF MY FELLOW ASTROLOGY OBSERVERS POSTS AND I DEMAND THE SAME IN RETURN.
I began my astrology journey with Vedic astrology so I can confidently share my knowledge and my observations.
THE DIAMOND STYLE (left image) AND THE BOX STYLE (right image).
The Diamond style Chart is also known as the North Indian chart style. The Box style Chart is also known as the South Indian chart style.
IF ONE FEELS DRAWN MORE TOWARDS USING THE DIAMOND CHART TO READ CHARTS THEN THEY HAVE A STRONG VENUS.
IF ONE FEELS DRAWN MORE TOWARDS USING THE BOX CHART, THEN THEIR JUPITER IS STRONG IN THE CHART.
• First, in Vedic astrology we have charts for different areas of our life which is the D2 chart, D3 chart, and so on till the D60 chart but mainly for our life overall we consider our birth chart which is divided in two, that is:
✓Lagna chart = from birth to 28 years
✓Navama chart = 28 years to death.
>In Vedic astrology, Neptune, Pluto, and uranus are not considered.
>There are no asteroids in Vedic astrology like Eros, Fama and so on. Ketu behaves like Neptune, Rahu behaves like Uranus and Mars behaves like Pluto.
HOUSES AND THEIR RULERS:
1ST HOUSE = MARS
2ND HOUSE = VENUS
3RD HOUSE = MERCURY
4RTH HOUSE = MOON
5TH HOUSE= SUN
6TH HOUSE = MERCURY
7TH HOUSE = VENUS
8TH HOUSE = MARS
9TH HOUSE = JUPITER
10TH HOUSE = SATURN

MOON = 7TH from the house in which she is seated.
MERCURY = 7TH from the house in which he is seated.
VENUS = 7TH from the house in which she is seated.
MARS = 4RTH,7TH,8TH from the house in which he is seated.
JUPITER = 5TH,7TH,9TH from the house in which he is seated.
SATURN = 3RD,7TH,10TH from the house in which he is seated.
>RAHU AND KETU ONLY ASPECT EACHOTHER AS THEY SIT IN OPPOSITE HOUSES.
>While counting the aspects, we include the house we are starting our count from.
The names of the planets in Vedic astrology:

FOR SOUTH INDIAN CHART and NORTH INDIAN CHART:
Some notes:
• Moon and Mercury are the most imbalanced planets in Vedic astrology, hence there can be a lot of imbalance wherever they are seated. Things hardly ever seem stable in that area of your life.
• Saturn and Sun are enemies because the Sun [who is shani's (Saturn) dad] burnt his mother, Chaaya, right in front of him. Saturn really really really hates the Sun.
• In Vedic astrology Venus and Jupiter are enemies because Jupiter is the god of the Devas (gods) and Venus is the god of the Asuras (demons).
• Rahu does the best when seated in the 6th house and Ketu in the 12th.
• Saturn, Mars and Rahu in the 12th house is a bad combination to have because it makes a person very negative in nature, they are always complaining, never satisfied with anything or anyone, are always lecturing others, are not patient, is a hypocrite, etc.
• Mercury in the 5th house makes one look younger than their age. They age very very very slowly.
• Venus in the 12th house natives get married at a young age (22 or 23 years old).
• Jupiter in the 12th house makes the native the 'diamond in the rough'.
• Mars in the 1st house natives will most likely become bald because this causes really serious hairfall.
• In Vedic astrology it's always either Sun who is strong in the chart or Saturn who is strong. Both cannot be strong.
• Mercury and Rahu together in the 12th house can cause serious mental health issues and lack of emotional support from others.
• Ketu and Venus when seated together becomes a very sad placement. A lot of one sided love in the persons life. This is because Ketu and Venus are complete opposites, Ketu is a very detached planet that is not at all interested in love and romance while Venus is a very sensual and romantic planet who craves connection. The person will crave love but will most of the time face heartbreaking situations with others.
• Sun in 12th house causes eyesight issues mainly with the right eye. Moon in the 12th house causes eyesight issues mostly with the left eye. [Sun is the right eye while Moon is the left eye].
• Rahu in the 12th or 4rth definitely indicates foreign settlement.
• Mars in houses 1st, 4rth, 7th,8th or 12th makes the person a Manglik and this seriously hinders their marital life and entire life in general. This placement gets nullified to some extent when a benefic planet such as Moon is aspecting Mars.
• Rahu in the 4rth house makes a natives mother cunning and selfish. This makes a persons mom know how to play their cards well.
• Mars in the 4rth indicates an abusive household and even an abusive mother, be it verbally abusive, physically abusive, etc.
• Mercury in the 1st house makes a person very chatty and talkative.
• Saturn in 5th can indicate having a love marriage and going against ones parents for it or eloping and getting married.
• Mars in the 9th house can make one an atheist. I have seen this in many atheists chart.
• Mercury in the 5th house can make one very good at learning languages and are good with miniature art. Like they can draw very detailed art.
• When any planet sits with the Sun, the Sun let's them shine and gives them more power to be prominent in the chart.
• When a planet sits with Rahu or Ketu they are overshadowed by them, like an eclipse. That's why Rahu and Ketu are known as the shadow planets.
• Rahu in the 12th house can cause sleeping issues like insomnia and mental stress.
• Moon in the 4rth house Natives are naturally very inclined towards their mother.
• Sun in the 12th house Natives never had a father figure in their life. An absent father figure but they are always looking up to their father and seeking his validation which of course they will never get.
• The planet in 11th house can show what kind of friends you have, ex: Saturn can indicate having a small friend circle and also indicates having older friends. If one has moon in the 11th house,then there will always be ups and downs in friendships.
Thankyou for reading through this!
I really hope this helped beginners in any way possible and I look forward to seeing you next time!❤️🔥🫂 Take care and have a great day!🌞🧿✨
Few thoughts of a couple
with 8TH HOUSE SYNASTRY
>> NAMELY SUN, MOON, VENUS, JUPITER AND MERCURY. MARS TOO IF THEY BOTH ARE NOT HARD CORE ENEMIES.
Also especially when there's 8th house overlays on both sides. Otherwise the house person feels it more than the planet person does.
.
• My thoughts cannot move an inch without bumping into some piece of you.
• but nothing makes a room feel emptier than wanting someone in it.
• I think I've loved you since I met you. I just mistook it for curiousity.
• You touch me like I'm everything you asked for. Underneath your hands I become poetry. This is the alchemy that you do.
• You touch me and suddenly I feel a little less war torn. I'm not sure what peace is supposed to feel like but I think it may feel alot like you.
• How could I not love eyes that see me in all of my forms as beautiful?
• Bro, she's a piece of art, pin her against the wall.
• And I want to pinned between him and the mattress. Like a flower pressed in a book. And I want to say his name, over and over, like it's the only word written on the pages.
.
.
• Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.
• How shall I hold back my soul from touching yours?
• But you...please don't go..
• I simply want to tell you that somehow I can't imagine life without you. I love you, I want you, I need you unbearably.
• I have fingerprints of your love all over my heart. You touch me without touching me, and I feel it in my bones.
• My life used to be full of everything. Now if you aren't with me, I haven't a thing in the world.
• I want you to know, but I don't want to tell you.
• I am still here, despite everything. What does that say of my love I have for you, if it's not true?
• Today, I can't write about anything except my longing for you.
• The enormity of my desire disgusts me.
.
.
• Missing you comes in waves. Tonight I'm drowning.
• Text me. Please, just find a reason and talk to me.
• You're so far away and yet closer to my heart than anyone else.
• In case you foolishly forget: I am never not thinking of you.
• We are not lovers. We are love.
• I want to be craved by you. I want you to think about kissing me as much as I think about kissing you.
• Everyone else isn't you. It turns out that's a huge problem for me.
• I don't want to share you.
• But I must admit I miss you terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby.
• How odd it is to be haunted by someone who is still alive.
• They tried to bury us,they didn't know we were seeds.

HAPPY MAHA SHIVARATRI 2025!
Dear readers, today is the most beautiful festival, Maha Shivaratri where Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati get united or in other words, married!
Today is my favourite day because Lord Shiva has been my all time favourite deity since the day I was born lol, no literally, I have been his devotional follower since I was a very small child. 😌😆
Also, my birthday falls on his wedding day which is Maha Shivaratri according to my 'mother tounge' calender, I don't want to mention my mother tounge' right now but yes. I was born on the day of Maha Shivaratri so this makes me more happier than ever!💖🥳
Just look at them😮💨...The story of Shiv and Shakti is the most beautiful love story ever to exist in this entire cosmos. Like you won't find a love story better than theirs, I can even write this in gold ink. 😩❤️🔥
For those who are interested in watching how their love story goes, you can watch this vedio provided below, it's very very interesting☺️💖
Har Har Mahadev!
Happy Mahashivratri once again!
hii, hope u are doing well🫶🏻 i was wondering if u could tell me about a couple placements i have in my solar return chart! i have pluto at 29 degrees in the first house in capricorn , and i also have an 8th house stellium (mars, venus, and mercury) . should i be scared😭😭😭
Hello! I'm doing great, hope you're doing good as well❤☀️ thankyou so much for your ask
Pluto 29° in Capricorn, 1st house
8th house stellium(mars,venus,mercury)
Okay, lemme ask you a question first. Have you been serious about how you may appear physically, cause where capricorn is in your chart can tell you what you are more formal or serious about. And are you a capricorn/sagittarius/aquarius rising? If you are capricorn rising then your vibe emits a lot of formal energy, you look serious and very unapproachable to people this year. Also since your pluto is in the first house, there's a lot of transformation related to how you see yourself or how you're overall physical appearance. You can look really intense and mysterious to people. You have this dark intense gaze and you're energy holds power. I also feel like people find you very intimidating and dangerous this year. Your physical body can transform to this beauty that's striking and too much for people to handle(in a good way). This year pluto will transform your physical identity and your face and eyes mostly. Lots of intensity and sensuality in your appearance and gaze. You could catch a lot of attention this year, knowingly or unknowingly. Mostly unknowingly actually. Also you can attract a lot of jealousy and envy because of this. But don't worry, this is only because your transformations make the others jealous or bothered for no reason. Just do what you do, slay💅🏻🔥 also pluto being in the special degree 29° makes your pluto feel empowered. Your pluto is in power this year and will make you have hell lots of transformations. Bomb fire🔥💥 kind of transformations that'll make you a better person this year. Sudden transformations too! But don't worry cuz these transformations are gonna make you glow better and become a stronger person.
8th house stellium having mars,venus and mercury isn't bad actually. You don't have to be scared dear❤🫂💓. this house represents deep feelings and you might be knowing about the 8th house already lmao. The 8th house is nothing to be afraid of. All placements in our chart hold life lessons, that's all. Now let's go ahead. Mars being a very passionate, rough and a motivating planet when sitting in the 8th house makes you passionate to learn deeply about certain things in this world, mostly things connected to seggs, de_th, mysterious things, and a lot of hidden knowledge in this world. Since mars and venus are in this house you could feel very intense about your emotions and sexuality. You can have a lot of emotional outbursts or there is a chance of overwhelming emotions because of mars here. Handle your emotions with care because I feel you are maybe too harsh while handling how you feel emotionally. Venus being in this house again makes you very sexually reserved and hidden. The 8th house is a 50% part of 12th house that's why it's very mysterious and deep. Venus is art, love, creativity. Venus being in 8th house makes you find a fascination for these soft textured kind of art this year.⬇️Especially of woman.⬇️
Also you may discover a lot about your artistic abilities, if not..then I think you should try it because it'll amaze you. You may also keep your romantic feelings hidden or just out of reach. You may also fantasize a lot this year about various things. Mercury being in 8th house makes you have a very deep setted mind or a fascination for writings or books about hidden, occult and mysterious stuff. You can also maybe wanna read books related to intimacy or things that are left unsaid like mysterious de@ths, unsolved cases, hidden knowledge of the world.
Overall these three planets being in the house of pluto again enhances intimacy and intensity to these planets. Lots of transformations and discoveries related to your creativity, art,writing skills, knowledge, books, authors, hidden things. Again this year I see intimacy and transformations play a very major role in your life. Especially related to your sexuality, dark feminine, physical appearance and your emotions.
There's nothing bad here, so don't worry. You're just going to transform into the next higher level. If you're having a lot of overwhelming emotions, it's only because you're old self is wearing off and a new you welcomes you. Keep growing and slay cuz you got this! But just be careful with trusting woman with your emotions and secrets, they could use it against you. Overall you got a very rewarding life ahead of you!❤💅🏻💓🫂
Hope you enjoyed reading and please let me know if it resonates with you💘🫂☀️
Thankyou! Have a great day ahead💓
special for ma @1994l love u queen👑❤ thankyou for ur unconditional love and support.😘

Hello. I’m Ruby. Are you accepting free readings? If so, may I request one? I had a dream about a demon who asked for my name, he was known for making deals with other people but I was his favourite. I’ve never seen him before but I was wondering if this dream has any meaning to it. Like if he’s a real entity that visited in my dream or something? Please let me know if this is acceptable. Thank you in advance I’ll leave feedback!
Hii ruby/winnie!💫
Okay so, this demon that was present in your dream is very fond of you..they've come from the past, idk..but you have some kind of connection with him from the past, im getting after you started with your spiritual journey...he is a very old demon.....he has been watching you, I'm sensing in the form of a bird, do you see birds often like, wherever you go...he sees you as a powerful spiritual being with so much of blissful energy that he craves to have...I see you're a woman who knows to balance your emotions, or you're a woman full of potential and in touch with your higher self...yes, this is a real entity that visited your dreams..this demon has become obsessed with your energy and he wants it all to himself...he wants to chain you to his throne so your soul will be his forever...that's why he communicated with you in your dream, just so that he could let you know that he wants you more than anyone else...okay, now...what does he want with you...he is a hidden enemy, he's trying to confuse you and he's trying to create chaos in your life...do you feel like you still haven't found your purpose in life, do you feel like something is missing...its because this demon is creating that doubts and blockages in your life..he's making you move too fast..he wants to see you in sorrow and pain..he wants to lower your energy if he can't have you..what should you do in order for this demon to move away? Okay so...first don't panic okay? This demon can't do anything to you..trust me, you are protected like a lot by the universe! You're like Thanos, honestly😌...although thanos was strong only because of the infinity stones but...when it comes to you, you're naturally really powerful but not to extent where you snap your fingers and I'm ashes😂...you're strong and you are seriously protected that's why the demon can't hurt you...so stay strong and connect with your spirit guides...ask them to guide you, trust your intuition and don't trust what you see, analyze deeper and then decide...just follow your heart and intuition and keep diving deeper into spirituality...in your case, the more deeper you dive into spirituality, the more your vibration becomes higher and the demon moves away...and I prefer you take a hand full of salt throw it outside your window and say "leave me the fuck alone, you demon!" Or hang a slice of orange in your door with some cloves pierced into the orange, it will protect you and your home from evil or bad energies...and trust the universe, they have your back always...good luck winnie, hope you have a great day ahead😊❤
Although, I'm Shravana Nakshatra...i loved this post TOO TOO much and I really wish I were one of these Nakshatras instead 😮💨🥲
The truth-bringers, psychics, mystics and occultists.
All of these Nakshatras connect back to Shiva, but how?
Let’s learn more about the lore surrounding the deity Shiva, and how he is the key thread between all of these Nakshatras.
In Vedic lore the big 3 creator gods are: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. They are thought to create the reality we live in now.
However, Shiva wasn’t always known as “Shiva” here’s how he came to be:
Firstly, Brahma was creating the world and needed help, so he created more people to help him with the task of creating earth.
However, once these people were in existence, they disobeyed him, dismissed his commands, and pursued their own journeys.
This made Brahma angry, so angry that his brows furrowed together so hard that and little purple baby-like enitity popped out from inbetween his eyebrows.
This entity that appeared is known as “Rudra”.
Brahma named him “Rudra” which means “howler” “the crier” “the one who howls”. Since when he was born he was screaming and howling. He was born out of anger and distress.
However, Rudra went on to help Brahma in his task of creating the earth. Rudra began populating Earth with people. Except the “people” he populated it with were angry monster-like creatures. He was causing destruction inadvertently.
So Brahma told him he needed to control his anger and he that could master himself through the discipline of yoga.
So Rudra takes his advice and goes on a pilgrimage to the top of a mountain, where he mastered the practice of yoga and then returns to Brahma.
Upon returning to Brahma, Brahma gives him the new name “Shiva” which means: “calm, benevolent, peaceful”.
Through his evolution he maintained his true essence of being a “destroyer” but ultimately learned how to control and direct his energy in a positive way. His tendencies are to destroy in the name of truth, knowledge and enlightenment.
It’s important to note that Rudra is the same deity as Shiva, just in his raw, unfiltered form.
Rudra is the fierce and powerful deity associated with storms.
He is the untamed version of Shiva.
He is known to be angry, wild, destructive and fierce.
Whilst other deities have luxurious dwellings, Rudra lives in crematoriums and graveyards. He’s thought to be a vagabond, he doesn’t have a singular resting place. He is considered the outcast amongst other deities.
His physical appearance is said to be unkempt and wild, uncombed hair, smeared face with crematorium ashes.
Rudra doesn’t care about the superficial desires, yet constantly strives to discover spiritual truth, discarding whatever doesn’t align with that truth.
He strives to destroy falsities and illusions.
This is not a deity known to bestow prosperity or grants superficial wishes. He’s a deity that’ll destroy illusions that reveal truth.
He won’t maintain the comfort your delusions bring you. He will pull you out of them, violently.
He’s interested in the deeper parts of life, the occult, mysticism, philosophy etc.
*KEY NOTE: Rudra has 11 avatars that manifest different forms of his energy. *
———————————————————————
Remember Rudra/Shiva are the same thing, just different forms. Rudra has 11 avatars.
ARDRA’S deity is: Rudra
Rudra is the fierce form of Shiva
MULA’S deity is: Nirriti
Nirriti is thought to be a similar form of Rudra
PURVABHADRAPADA’S deity is: Eja Ekapada
Eja Ekapada is one of the 11 Rudra avatars
UTTARABHADRAPADA’S deity is: Ahir Budhya
Ahir Budhya is one of the 11 Rudra avatars
You’ll find that these Nakshatras are always bound together, in relationships, friendships and family lineages. Where one of them exists, they are somehow involved with the other.
Check If you have Mula, Ardra, Purvabhadrapada or Uttarabhadrapada in your big three or as Atmakaraka, then you are attracted to other individuals with this same placements.
➤ These individuals all hold a common purpose: bringing truth to the world.
➤ These individuals struggle especially in early life. They usually have to overcome some harrowing obstacles before achieving true success in life.
➤ They are burdened with the ability to see beyond the veil, so much so that it alienates them from others, due to the knowledge they possess.
➤ They are often outcasted amongst their peers, they are seen as different, unusual and mystical. They don’t fit into mainstream society.
➤ Metaphorically they are the shamans dwelling on the outskirts of society, meant to guide others bc of the truth they hold.
➤ They help to wake people up, and elevate society with knowledge and truth.
➤ They are meant to be teachers.
➤ Much like Rudra/Shiva himself they strive for truth often ignoring the superficial pleasures in life. They prefer not to get drunk in the illusion of Maya but they prefer getting to the bottom of things, ripping the veil away.
➤ From a young age, they intuitively know there’s a deeper meaning life, and they strive to discover it.
➤ Getting to the root of it all, because for them life is meaningless without truth.
➤ They each have a destructive tendencies each in their own ways. But their destructiveness has purpose to it, leading to transformation of their lives and those around them with the behavior.
What Ardra, Mula and The Bhadrapadas all have in common:
Truth seekers
Students of the occult
