Rebirth in Vedic astrology, also known as Punarjanma (Sanskrit: पुनर्जन्म, Punjabi: ਪੁਨਰਜਨਮ, Telugu: పునర్జన్మం), refers to the concept of reincarnation or the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. This belief is deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy and is integral to the practice of Vedic astrology, which seeks to understand an individual's past lives, present circumstances, and future prospects based on the positions of celestial bodies at the time of birth. The concept of rebirth is central to the idea of Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म, Punjabi: ਕਰਮ, Telugu: కర్మ), where actions in previous lives influence one's current life and future rebirths. Vedic astrology uses various tools, such as the Janma Kundali (birth chart) and Dasha (planetary periods), to analyze the impact of past lives on the present and to predict future events. The goal is to help individuals understand their life's purpose, overcome obstacles, and achieve spiritual growth and liberation (Moksha, Sanskrit: मोक्ष, Punjabi: ਮੁਕਤੀ, Telugu: మోక్షం).
