The Indian Vedic astrology is divided into two main styles, the North Indian horoscope style and the South Indian Horoscope style. The
North Indian horoscope style is a house-based chart whereas the South Indian
horoscope is sign-based. Let us understand the differences between these two
horoscope styles.
As said previously, the North Indian horoscope has a
house-based chart, this means that the houses always stay in the same position
and the signs move. The South Indian horoscope is a sign-based chart and varies
from North because the signs are stagnant and the houses move as per the
planetary positions.
The North Indian
Chart Style
The signs are denoted in the North Indian Chart Style
through the symbol of the sign or through number of the zodiac, with 1 being
Aries, 2 being Taurus, so on and so forth. The houses are triangle and diamond
shaped, with the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th
houses being full diamond shape and the remaining houses of triangle shape. In
the North Indian Chart, the first house or ascendant house is always at the
top. The triangle-shaped houses influence the 4 houses and allow you to see how
they affect the person.
The South Indian
Chart Style
The South Indian Chart always starts with Aries in the
second box from the top left with other signs following in clock-wise fashion.
As it is a sign-based chart, the position of signs never waver. It is often
difficult to determine the first house or ascendant house, as the position of
houses differ. Each house is equally divided, spanning 30 degrees, so the 12
houses make 360-degrees. The first house is marked by putting a diagonal line
or writing “lagna” in Sanskrit. The influence of planets can be easily
determined in this chart style because you just have to see the cluster of 4
planets in the upper left hand corner of the chart to know which planets have
most influence on the ascendant. To know how to cast a horoscope click here
