Hindu astrology is based on "Raasi" or Moon sign. In Astrology Moon is the controls the mind. Indian astrology believes that the subtle vibrations coming from the planets have a great impact on the human mind and hence behaviour. Moon being the heavenly body closest to the earth, the influences of all other planets reach us through the Moon.

The human body which is ruled by sun may or may not respond to the mental / psychological / supernatural influences. In vedic astrology the mind is considered to be ruled by Moon and all influences on the human being whether mental, physical, emotional, physcological or supernatural effect the human mind. Hence in Hindu astrology great significance is attached to your Raasi or Moon sign.

The Hindu astrology is based fully on the Moon sign (Rashi), and gives prime importance to its transit through the sign.

Everyone yearns for conjugal bliss as it is a cornerstone of happiness in our lives. Relationships, Love and Marriage compatibility are governed by multiple factors such as movement of Venus, Sun, Mars, Moon and Jupiter in your birth chart. It is seen sometimes that a good development could come due to being and doing things at the right time. Astrology report based on your charts can investigate the following aspects so as to arrive at a good or actionable period leading to a better love life:

1. Placement of Jupiter
2. Movement of Venus / Mars / Sun
3. Effects on the 5th house (governing love & emotions)
4. Comparative placement of Moon
5. Effects on the 7th house (governing permanent relationship & marriage)

Vedic astrology has 36 compatibility factors or Gunas,which promote harmony between individuals. If a couple scores less than 18 then the match should be rejected .If the score is between 18 - 24, then the match is acceptable (average). If the score is between 25 - 32 then the match is very good (above average). If the score is above 32 then technically the match is excellent but a lot of other factors have to check since both persons will be of same nature and that is not conducive to long-term relationship.
Hence on the whole certain special trends can be analyzed and you can ascertain on the basis of the report about the good periods to increase the chances of success. Also a compatibility based on Gunas is a very dependable predictive method.

Indian system goes one step ahead compared to other astrological systems and sheds light on what has to be done if there are severe 'Doshas' or negative karma. Each one of us is born with a certain set of Doshas or deficiencies which need to be worked out in this lifetime, and astrology helps us understand and overcome these.

In extreme cases bad planetary combinations which point toward major 'Doshas' result in abnormal mental stress, major health problems,weak financial position, relationship problems etc. In such cases horoscope can reveal this map of karma through planetary positions. Through planetary positions, God creates an arrangement so that we can redeem for the karma we did. However when under adverse circumstances some people tend to further add more negative karma, by resorting to shortcuts. For example a merchant who faces loss in his trade, may try to cheat customers for some quick money, this will take him further away from any recovery. Hence extreme patience and forbearance is suggested while during the negative phases of life.

Astrological remedies are the solutions provided to overcome complicated situations. In Indian Astrology the main remedies include,
1. Mantra, Tantra, and Yantra.
2. Using suitable Gems, Rudrakshas, Metals, Grains etc.
3. Charity and fasting.
4. Performing Vedic rituals, Pooja (worship), Yajna(sacrifice ritual) etc.
5. Color therapy

Performing remedies is the first step towards rectifying a wrong acts committed either in this life or past lives, it may not be possible to totally dissolve the adverse effects. Surely it reduces the intensity of the condition. These remedial procedures have to be performed with care under the able guidance of a learned priest or astrologer.
