Historically, Ayurveda has counted on many different avenues to gain insight into a person's health, wellness & constitution. Jyotish is basically Ayurveda's form of Astrology and it means "the science of light". It does differ from Western astrology in certain ways. Traditionally, even today, people will consult a Jyotish practitioner for the best day to get married, or find out what diseases they may be susceptible to. It is a unique way to assess an individual and look for the best possible outcomes in a person's life.  A family will traditionally consult an astrologer when determining the most auspicious time to get married, for example, or if two people are suited for eachother. A person's astrology chart can tell what they may be susceptible to and make life's events and timing make sense.

This vast and ancient practice is so interesting and detailed and can add value to a person's life and circumstances.
