Vedic astrology is a lunar based system. Interestingly the calendar in India is based on the nakshatras. Each month is named after the nakshatra the full moon occurs in for that month. There are references to the nakshatras in the Rig Veda, one of the oldest Indian scriptures dating approximately 1,500-2,000 BCE.
