Indian Science, Astronomy, Palmistry, and Astrology were fully developed and advanced even in 3000 BC. Astrology and astronomy were interconnected as they tell about the position of the planets and their movement. Astrology mainly deals with the effects of the planets and how their positions cause positive or negative effects on the life of a person. Those predictions by the scientists and mathematicians were so accurate, that even after so many millenniums the names of Aryabhatta, Maharishi Parashar, and Varaha Mihira are remembered by the people. Vedic astrology is based on the moon sign, whereas western astrology is based on Sun Sign.
Celestial Bodies:
According to Vedic astrology, there are 9 planets and 12 houses. There are 27 constellations or nakshatras, which are grouped into 12 zodiacs namely
Mesha (Aries)
Vrishabha (Taurus)
Mithuna (Gemini)
Kataka (Cancer)
Simha (Leo)
Kanya (Virgo)
Thula (Libra)
Vrischika (Scorpio)
Dhanus (Sagittarius)
Makara (Capricorn)
Kumbha (Aquarius)
Meena (Pisces)
The visual representation of the stars and planets are marked in the natal charts pertaining to the houses they are positioned in. Lagna, the ascendant, which is the planet on the eastern horizon when the sun rises, is considered very significant in Vedic astrology.

A well-prepared chart will also be able to predict the person's life, his growth and development completely.
