Who are the primary authorities on Vedic Astrology?

The primary authorities on Vedic Astrology are ancient sages and classical scholars who systematized its principles. Key figures include Maharishi Parashara, the author of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Maharishi Jaimini, and Varahamihira, who wrote Brihat Samhita. These texts form the foundation of Jyotish. Modern respected astrologers and traditional gurus also contribute, but classical scriptures and rishis remain the ultimate authorities guiding authentic Vedic astrological knowledge.
