What's the difference between Vedic and Western astrology?
Vedic (Jyotish) astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which tracks the actual current position of the constellations. Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, fixed to the seasons. The two systems can place the same birth chart in different signs.
Why is Vedic astrology considered more precise for timing?
Vedic astrology's Dasha system assigns specific planetary periods to your life timeline based on your Moon's Nakshatra at birth, giving a structured method for timing — something Western astrology doesn't have an equivalent of in mainstream practice.
Do I need to know anything about Vedic astrology to use this?
No. Enter your birth details and My Horoscope computes and explains your chart in plain language — Lagna, Nakshatra, and Dasha are all defined for you, and you can ask the AI astrologer to clarify anything further.
What ephemeris data does My Horoscope use for Vedic calculations?
NASA JPL DE441 ephemeris data combined with Swiss Ephemeris for sidereal longitude calculations — the same precision standard used in professional Jyotish software.
Can I get a full Vedic chart, not just a sign?
Yes. Your dashboard includes your complete Kundli — Lagna chart, Navamsa chart, all planetary positions, Nakshatra, Dasha timeline, and Ashtakavarga scores — not just a single sun or moon sign result.
