Rahu Ketu in Brighu Nadi by Srinivasan Shastry

Nādi Astrology (nāḍi jyotiṣa) is a form of Dharma astrology practised in Tamil Nadu, and adjacent regions in India. It is based on the belief that the past, present, and future lives of all humans were foreseen by Hindu sages in ancient time. Nadi astrology uses a tropical zodiac system. Sidereal zodiac systems coincided with tropical zodiac systems around 2,000 years ago, but have now drifted apart due to sidereal systems not accounting for the precession of the equinoxes while tropical systems do. In Tamil Nadu, the texts are mainly written in Vattezhuthu, which is an ancient Thamizh (Tamil) script. They were written by an ancient priest or "Rishi" called Agastya who had a highly developed consciousness. These ancient records of providence were made famous by practitioners around the Vaitheeswara Temple in the state of Tamil Nadu. First, the Naadi palm leaves are located based on the thumb impressions (right for men, left for women). These Naadi leaves were initially stored in the premises of Thanjavur's Saraswati Mahal Library in Tamil Nadu. The British colonialists later showed interest in the Naadi leaves concerned with herbs and medicine, future prediction, etc. Some leaves got destroyed, and the remaining were auctioned during the British Raj (rule). These Nadi leaves were obtained by the families of astrologers at the Vaitheeswaran Temple and have been passed down the years from one generation to the other. There is also another set of astrologers claiming that the content written in the palm leaf is conversation between Shiva and Parvathi. This is called "Shiva nadi jyotisiyam".
