Jyotisha (or Jyotish from Sanskrit jyoti?a, from jyótis- "light, heavenly body") is the traditional Hindu system of astronomy and astrology. Also known as Hindu astrology, and Indian astrology more recently Vedic astrology. The term Hindu astrology had been in use as the English equivalent of Jyoti?a since the early 19th century. Vedic astrology is a relatively recent term, entering common usage in the 1980s with self-help publications on Ayurveda or Yoga. The qualifier "Vedic" is however something of a misnomer, as there is no mention of Jyoti?a in the Vedas, and historical documentation suggests horoscopic astrology in the Indian subcontinent was a Hellenic influence post-dating the Vedic period.It has been divided into three main branches:* Siddhanta: Indian astronomy.* Sa?hita: Mundane astrology, predicting important events related to countries such as war, earthquakes, political events, financial positions, electional astrology, house and construction related matters (Vastu Sastra), animals, portents, omens, and so on.* Hora: Predictive astrology in detail.Astrology is rejected by the scientific community.:424
