The Zodiac is known as the ``rashi chakra`` in Vedic astrology or Jyotish, an ancient system of astronomy and astrology. The Indian zodiac shares some similarities with the Western zodiac, but has its own unique characteristics and interpretations.
Interpretations from different astrologers vary due to their reliance on different techniques, such as Vedic or Western astrology, and personal intuition and experience. Each astrologer may focus on different aspects of the chart, use different tools and software, and have a unique interpretation style. Additionally, client interactions and customizing readings to individual concerns, as well as diverse cultural and educational backgrounds, contribute to variations in predictions.
A rising sign, or ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was on the eastern horizon at the time and place of a person's birth. It represents how others view you and affects your outward behavior and appearance. The ascendant is a key component in the birth chart and sets the stage for the arrangement of the entire chart, influencing a person's approach to life and the initial impressions given to others.
In astrology, ``house`` refers to one of the twelve parts of a birth chart, each of which represents different areas of life. These houses determine where specific life events and themes will unfold, such as relationships, career, home, and personal growth. The position of the planets in these houses affects how their energies will express themselves and in which area of life.
