In truth, there is no unified approach used by most Western astrologers. Only after doing so was I able to begin to see how each system might interact with the other. When I first learned Jyotish, I was careful to keep all of my understandings of Western astrology compartmentalized and separate, until I had gained fluency in Vedic astrology. Please understand, however, that – especially when learning each system – one should carefully avoid applying the principles present in one of the approaches to the other approach, as it can "muddy the waters". I practice both, and find the "dance" between them exceptionally enriching. I have a great deal of respect for both Western and Vedic astrology. I prepared this article, which includes a table - placed at the end of this article - clearly illustrating the differences between both systems, because I wanted to focus on the procedures of both approaches, not just Jyotish, and to cover a little more ground. I highly recommend that you read it, as its content complements that of this article. Note: in 2005 I wrote an article called " Approaching Jyotish: A Comparison of Western and Vedic Astrology" which was oriented towards helping the Western astrologer to begin to approach Vedic astrology.
