BOOKS IN SANSKRIT ON ASTROLOGY

Sanskrit Vedic Astrology is an antiquated Indian science system that explains planetary movements and positions with deference for time and their impact on people and different elements on the planet. Vedic Sanskrit astrology can be followed millennia back. Early Sanskrit Vedic astrology was just given the development of planets regarding stars, however later on it began including zodiac signs also. 

As per Vedic astrology, there are 27 heavenly bodies composed of 12 zodiac signs, 9 planets, and 12 houses with each house and planet addressing some part of human existence. Contingent upon when an individual is conceived, the 12 signs are circulated among the 12 houses and 9 planets are put in different houses. This visual portrayal of the depiction of the signs and planets is known as a horoscope outline. Vedic astrology deciphers the importance of these courses of action as it applies to people and different entities. The astrology that we discuss has its premise in the Jyotiṣāṅga, or, in other words, it has a supporting premise to the Veda and doesn't come from Veda itself. 

It was developed to a great extent for the end goal of timekeeping as well as observing natural peculiarities; eclipses and so on. After some time the vedāṅga has seen a lot of changes, with the expansion of a ton of new ideas. So, there are not very many spots where astrology is spoken in its entirety. Probably the most honed critiques of fortune-telling, palmistry, and all that which is sold as Astrology today comes from Mānava-Dharmaśāstra.

Q1. What is the scientific basis of Sanskrit Astrology?

Old Hindu writing is brimming with folklore connected with zodiac signs, star groupings (otherwise called Nakshatras), and planets, which make sense of a lot of celestial principles. Anyway, the prevailing sentiment is that folklore was only a technique that our old seers used to make sense of a few extremely complex actual physical laws, which common people couldn't comprehend. Sadly even present-day science has not had the option to completely figure out those actual regulations behind this old strategy even though it's progressing very fast.
