ASTROLOGY, ASTROLOGER AND AN INDIVIDUAL

Astrology is the art of interpretation of horoscopes (Birth charts). Quality of astrological prediction
depends on the logical interpretational ability of an astrologer, depending on the position of the planets and stars

at the moment of an event to be judged. Astrology is a science as is the study, based on the exact astronomical
position and movements of celestial bodies like planets and stars with reference to earth and time of the
event of a question. A knowledgeable astrologer predicts by interpreting the data found at
different classical ancient scriptures written by our great Rishis like Parashara Varahamihira. Jaimini, Bhrigu etc.
An astrologer can always guide an individual in his difficult times by identifying the suffering
periods of Sade Saathi or Kuja dosha or any other planetary malefic combinations’ by suggesting certain remedies
to follow and act as a mentor. The position of stars and planets in different combinations in different houses of a
birth chart or a horoscope of an event indicates the individual's prosperity, financial conditions, marriage, status of

marital life, children and their prosperities etc. As per the destiny which is formed by the individual’s
Purva janma karmas (good and bad deeds of previous and present birth lives). Every event of life occurs at certain
times as and when the karma is nartured. Predicting the events and time of occurrence by correct and applicable

interpretation of various astrological principles is the job of an eminent astrologer. A committed, knowledgeable
astrologer is capable of predicting various events and conditions of an individual's life. These forecasts help a
person to know his future events of happiness or difficulties of life and mentally prepares one to
face the events with a sense of courage and maturity instead if helplessness and digression.
An astrologer can only indicate what may happen in future, but except God, who else can
say what exactly will happen. One can depend on an astrologer as knowledgeable if about
minimum eighty percent of his predictions come true with right timings. In this way, he can help a person
to overcome his difficult times and remain optimistic with proper understanding of future.
If an individual approaches an astrologer with exact date, time and place of birth, the
predictions and remedies proposed will be fair enough. Of course, different astrologers may
follow different systems and principles of astrology like Vedic Astrology which is believed to
be an authentic Indian system of ancient Jyotish Sastra, which is a Vedanga. Even Rigveda
also mentions many principles of Jyothish and other systems being horary astrology, Tajika
astrology (annual horoscopes), western and Arabic systems of astrology’s or all combined
with his sixth sense abilities. Hence, an individual can always depend and take guidance from a

knowledgeable astrologer for his future plans to face difficult times of life, events like marriage, marital
life, financial conditions and its implications in investments and many other important events of

life.Written by the grace of Bhagawan Shri Sai Baba as inspired by my beloved friend Shri K.V.Rajeswara
