Skyscript Astrology Forum

Voltecerdi,

It seems that you are missing the point here. Saying that the 'main' astrology is practiced in Southern India does not prove anything. One thing I know from India is that they borrow easily from their neighbors, their exclusivity is not their forte.
Read some research papers on the site of Martin Gansten before you understand everything.
But the question is not to be right or wrong, but a better astrologer with your choice.
Shakespeare once said: "A proud person always ends up destroying himself in pride."

Blessings,
Ouranos

A discussion forum would seem to be a waste of time for you then.

If all this is confirmed, then we will have to bury the theory of the Indians borrowing the zodiac from the Greeks, with the Yavana Jataka.

If what is confirmed, exactly? And have you tried to confirm it, whatever it is?

There is no astrology or astronomy at all in the Vedas proper (the saṃhitā texts, which are chiefly collections of hymns to the Vedic deities, not 'wisdom about everything in this world'). The Vedāṅgajyotiṣa (an auxiliary text from before the Common Era, though not anywhere as ancient as 2000-1500 BCE) does deal with astronomy and calendric matters relevant to the timing of Vedic rituals, but does not contain any material on horoscopic astrology ('planets, houses, dashas'). The latter is found only in texts postdating the Indo-Greek kingdom, which make use of a large number of Greek technical terms, including the name of the discipline itself (होरा horā < ὥρα).
