1. Why should I believe in
Astrology?
Astrology helps you on two planes. On
material plane, it lets you understand your strengths and
weaknesses. It helps you to decide whom to trust and whom not
to. It guides you through the right times to conduct right
activities. On spiritual plane, it helps you to understand
your mission in this life. You can reach the ultimate goal of
self-realization through Astrology. If you do not believe in
Astrology, then you cannot get these benefits of Astrology
which believers get.
2. Is
there any scientific proof for Astrology?
Are you
sure that everything told by the scientists is correct? Before
Galileo, scientists used to say that the earth is the centre
of the universe and the Sun and other stars are revolving
round the earth. After Galileo, the same scientists said that
the Sun is the centre of our solar system and the earth and
other planets are revolving round the Sun. The point is
science is at infant state. It should grow to understand
Astrology which is a super science. You can see some
interesting discussion on this at: Astrology
and Science.
3. If
Astrology is so great, then why some predictions go
wrong?
Astrology deals with the behavior of the
human beings and the results of his actions. Since the life of
a human being is very complex, decoding and understanding the
influence of planets and stars is also very complex. Astrology
provides very accurate picture of a human being’s life, but
only a competent Astrologer can understand and interpret the
picture correctly. If predictions go wrong, we cannot blame
Astrology. We should blame the Astrologer.
4. Why the predictions given by two
Astrologers on the same event differ? Doesn’t it prove
Astrology is wrong?
You are asking a question like
this: When the same operation is done by two doctors, why
one operation is successful and why the other one is failing?
Doesn’t it prove that the entire medical science is wrong?
5. Can Astrology predict
future?
Why not? Since your present actions are
mere reflections of your past deeds, and the future depends on
your present actions, there is always a connection between
past, present and future. By erecting the horoscope of a
person, an Astrologer can understand his past, present and
future. Even Astrology can tell you about your previous birth.
6. Vedic Astrology predicts
my future in one way and Western Astrology predicts my future
in a different way – why is this disparity?
Vedic
(Indian) Astrology, Western Astrology and Chinese Astrology
are different systems developed by ancient seers. Your future
does not change with any of these systems. The disparity
arises depending on the understanding of these systems by the
practicing Astrologers.
7.
Is astrology about fate or free will?
Most
Astrologers say Astrology is all about free will and you can
do anything you like. If this is the case, any beggar can
become a king by exercising his free will. Astrology talks
about your fate and at the same time gauges how much free will
has been sanctioned by God as the result of your previous
actions.
8. What is the
difference between Sun sign and Moon sign?
The sign
(rasi) where the Sun is located at your time of birth is
called Sun sign. The sign where the Moon is located at the
time of your birth is called Moon sign.
9. I don’t have my birth details like
date, time and place of birth. How can I know my
future?
Astrology needs your correct date, time and
place of birth to erect your horoscope and predict your
future. If you do not have these details, then it is better
switch to Palmistry which can predict your future from your
palms.
10. These days
every body claims being an Astrologer. How can I recognize a
real Astrologer?
An Astrologer should either
descend from an Astrologers’ family or he should be a
qualified Astrologer from a recognized University. It is
better if he has some experience. He should perform spiritual
practices and lead a pious life as prescribed by the
scriptures. Priests, pundits, tantriks, mantriks, psychic
practitioners, etc., should not be confused with Astrologers.
11. What about twins? They
are born on the same day, location and almost the same
time?
Because twins are born at the same day and
time, their horoscopes would be same. Thus the influence of
planets and stars will be same on them. But there would be
difference in the quantity of the influence received by each
of the twins. The individual capacity of receiving the cosmic
energy varies from person to person depending on other factors
like their actions in the previous birth and their exposure to
present social conditions.
12. Why people are more concerned about Kuja dosha
(ill effect of Mars)?
When Mars (Mangalik) is in
2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th from your Ascendant or Moon sign,
it is called Kuja dosha. Even though several exemptions are
for this rule, it is found that Mars is becoming inimical
especially in relation to married life when posited in these
places. If Kuja dosha is found in the horoscopes of both the
bride and bride groom, then it becomes neutralized and cannot
cause harm. So people with Kuja dosha should contact an
Astrologer just before fixing their match. You can find more information about Kuja dosha at: Kuja dosha - fact or myth?
13. Astrology, Palmistry, Numerology,
Tarot reading, Crystal gazing, Graphology etc… Which one is
reliable?
You can rely on any of the above subjects
as far as you are deriving correct guidance.
14. Aren’t the lines on the palm just
creases formed by hand movement?
The lines of the
palm are not formed because of folding the palms or movement
of our hands. There are three reasons for this. 1) If the
lines are formed just because of folding our palms, then you
should see only horizontal lines in your palms, since you can
fold your fingers down towards the inner palm. But, there are
also lines which pass vertically in your palms. 2) If the
lines are mere marks of movement of muscles then a manual
laborer who works more with his hands should have more lines
than those of a person who do sedentary jobs. But, in
thousands of cases it is proved that the laborers have very
few lines. 3) The lines in the palm are formed by the time the
fetus is 10 weeks old. But the muscles to fold the palms are
formed after 11 th week.
15. How gem stones influence our fate? How can I
know which gem stone is suited for me?
Gem stones
allow only one type of energy related to a particular planet
into our body. So the problems related to that planet can be
alleviated by wearing a gem stone. Most of the people wear gem
stones depending on their birth star, moon sign or sun sign or
just for fun. This is dangerous. An Astrologer can prescribe a
suitable gem for you only after complete analysis of your
horoscope.
16. Does a
short Life line represent a short life?
No. To
judge the life span of a person, we should give importance to
the Heart line. Then we should examine Life line along with
the Head line and some other markings in the palms. Generally
a short Life line represents deficit of iron, calcium and
other mineral deposits in the person’s body.
17. I came to know that in case of a
woman, her left palm should be referred and in case of a man,
it is the right palm. Is it so?
A Palmist should
refer both the palms in case of a man or woman. Conclusions
should never be given based on a single palm.
18. Why should I go to an Astrologer
and not a Psychologist?
What information a group of
Psychologists can provide you over a period of several years,
can be provided by an Astrologer in a few minutes just by
observing your horoscope.
19. What is Panchanga or
Almanac?
Panchanga comprises of 5 elements: Thithi
(lunar day), Vaara (day of the week), Yoga (Luni-Solar
combination), Nakshatra (constellation) and Karana (half part
of a thithi). These 5 elements give an idea regarding the
auspicious and inauspicious moments day by day and the type of
activities to be done or not to be done on each day. You would
be successful , if you start the ventures at those auspicious
moments.
20. Some said
that my birth star is not compatible with that of my
prospective partner and hence we should not marry. Can you
guide us in this regard?
To judge whether two
people can marry or not - an Astrologer should judge the
planetary compatibility in the horoscopes of both the bride
and bridegroom. A single factor like 'star', 'yoni' or 'rajju'
alone should not be given importance in deciding a match. You can have correct information on match making at: Match making - the right way
21.
Can I change my future? If everything is destined by God, then how Astrology can help me?
If you can change your future as you like, then where God stands? You can change only a few things in your life that are allowed by God depending on your past actions. Astrology gives guidance in those areas to take correct steps in correct times to reap maximum benefits. Certain other things which are not sanctioned by God cannot be changed by you or any one else.
