Indian Astrology, also known as Vedic astrology, is a deeply spiritual system of divination that interprets human life through the positions of celestial bodies at birth. Rooted in ancient scriptures like the Vedas, it divides the sky into twelve zodiac signs, nine planets, twelve houses, and twenty-seven nakshatras. It provides insights into personality, relationships, health, and career and operates through methods like Dasha systems (life periods), Yogas (planetary combinations), and Gochar (transits). Remedies, such as mantras, gemstones, and charitable acts, are suggested to balance planetary influences. Central to Indian culture, Vedic astrology is integral to life decisions, festivals, and spiritual growth.

Some festivals like Makar Sankranti are based on Sun motion, that's why the date is mostly fixed or change by 1 day maximum.
