About Naadi Astrology

Naadi astrology, also known as Nadi Shastra or Nadi Jyotish, is an ancient form of astrology that originated in Tamil Nadu, India. The term "Naadi" means "palm-leaf" in Tamil, and Naadi astrology is based on the belief that ancient sages or Rishis, who had the power of clairvoyance, recorded the destinies of individuals on palm leaves several thousands of years ago. These palm leaf manuscripts are said to be stored in temples in South India.

  • Individual Palm Leaves: In Naadi astrology, each person has a unique set of palm leaves, which are determined based on the individual's thumb impression. The thumbprint is used to identify the specific set of palm leaves that contain predictions and information about the person's life.
  • Predictive Technique: The information in the Naadi palm leaves is believed to include details about a person's past, present, and future. It is said to cover various aspects of an individual's life, such as career, relationships, health, and spiritual growth.
  • Nadi Readers: To access the information contained in the palm leaves, a skilled Naadi astrologer or reader is required. These astrologers are believed to have the ability to decipher the ancient scripts and make predictions based on the information found in the leaves.
  • Thumb Impression Matching: The process of finding a person's individual set of palm leaves involves matching the thumb impression of the individual with the impressions on the available palm leaves. Once a match is found, the astrologer can begin the reading.
  • Predetermined Destinies: Naadi astrology often suggests that destinies are predetermined, and individuals have little control over the major events in their lives. This belief is in contrast to some other astrological systems that allow for more free will and choice.
