Nadi astrology (also spelled Nādi astrology) is an ancient form of Hindu astrology practiced mostly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, India.
According to belief, ancient sages (rishis or siddhas) foresaw the past, present, and future lives of individuals and recorded them on palm leaves (Nadi leaves) in Tamil or ancient scripts.
Each person’s thumb impression (right hand for males, left for females in many traditions) is used to narrow down to a bundle of Nadi leaves that match certain categories.
The Nadi leaves are stored in bundles or groups. The astrologer asks a set of “yes / no” questions (such as names, parents’ names, life events) to find the exact leaf or passage that corresponds to the person.
Once the leaf is found, its contents are translated (if needed) and explained to the seeker. The leaf contains details about the person’s past life, current life, future, challenges, remedies, and more.
The Nadi leaf often prescribes remedies (pujas, mantras, visits to special temples or energy sites) to mitigate karmic obstacles or improve one’s path.
Nadi astrology claims to combine many finer divisions (nādis) of the zodiac, beyond standard charts.
It is considered more “specific” than typical astrology because it claims to operate at a finer granularity (past lives, minute details) rather than only planetary transits.
However, much of its inner mechanism and texts are said to be secret or only accessible to certain lineages of astrologers
