The belief that stars and planets have a bearing on human lives is an
ancient belief existing in all cultures of the world. Ved mention
Archaa Jyotish, Yaajur Jyotish and Atharv Jyotish which deal with
auspicious moments for Vaidik sacrifices etc. Phal Jyothish was
post-Vaidik. Yajur Jyotish, 4 says Vedaang Jyotish is an Indian text on Jyotish redacted by Lagadh. It is dated during the last centuries of BC. Soorya Siddhaant considers Lagadh's period 900 years BC. It describes the rules of motion of the Sun and the Moon. The Vedaang Jyotish is available in two rescensions : one of 36 verses associated with the Rig Ved and another of 45 verses associated with the Yajur Ved. There are 29 verses in common.
