Relevance of astrology in modern times
Vedic astrology is surely an authentic science provided astrologers practicing on it upgrade themselves with the dynamics of modern times. Astrological analysis should be based on changing circumstances & environment in present times, unlike reading Horoscope on conventional methods: seeing only Gun Milan for marriage than marriage compatibility, selecting a career due to parental pressures or social fantasies, continuing in family business or profession & likewise. Now let's read my latest column in HT City on 16.2.2020.
Right way of doing astrology
Many marriages, love or otherwise, do not happen on the pretext of non-matching of horoscopes. The boy and the girl concerned blame the astrologers and, to a certain extent, the Vedic astrology and its astrological concepts who would have played the spoilsport. Last Sunday, I tried to clarify the myth behind non-Vedic matching of horoscopes for marriage also attempted to explain the scientific way of matching the horoscopes. The trick behind this matching is to understand the ways to check the unmatched aspects. Matching the unmatched aspects is the means to understand what changes are to be brought in one's life so that the married life runs smoothly.
Please read my latest interview in Outlook India on how to match horoscopes for marriage in present times.
Though this is tough, but obeying to planetary counseling does the trick. In my career thus far, there have been numerous cases wherein pre, and most marriage Astro-counseling has immensely helped those whose horoscopes would not match the classical way. Isn't this a breather for those who are stuck and would not proceed because of the non-matching of the horoscopes?
This Sunday, I would like to divulge something about the activation technique, which very few astrologers either use or understand.
It was a sunny day long back when a concerned mother came to my office to get her son's Horoscope examined. Her son was to appear in class twelve examinations, but he had failed miserably in his pre-board tests. The school authorities were reluctant to let her son take on the boards. She had managed to convince the principal to give her son one more chance to prove his preparedness.
The exams were to happen soon, and if he did not improve upon his grades, he would not be allowed to sit in the Board examinations.She was anxious to know about his fate and was also keen to perform remedial measures to help her son. Upon examining the Horoscope, I found that the boy's eighth house, which had considerable negative influences, was active. The eighth house is the house of long ailments and death.
I inquired about the health of the boy. His mother told me that he was doing fine, resting a lot, watches TV, and indulges in computer-aided games. I could see that there was a break in his education and could also sense that the boy's health was deteriorating. But the lady insisted on knowing about his studies, considering he had become an escapist. This boy could not take his board examination because he had to deal with a tumor in his head, which was diagnosed when he collapsed just before his exams.
The good news is that he is surviving for the last ten years, but he took two years to recover.
There are many similar tales of such relevance of astrology in modern times.
Now coming back to the main topic:
What is correct Vedic astrology?
I am no one to comment on how anyone practices Vedic Astrology but will explain as to what are the basic principles of Vedic Astrology and what factors one should know him/her self before depending on any astrologer.
Foremost, one should apply the cheat sheet to judge the astrologer. Astrologers, like any other professional, could be average, normal, good and there are methods on how to judge the qualities of an astrologer.
Once you have done it, one must start with the verification of accurate birth time before beginning to say anything about the Horoscope. One must insist upon an astrologer to tell at least one aspect of the life of the person. It happens then you are sure that whatever analysis the astrologer will do according to capabilities is one the right basis.
Capabilities of an astrologer are to be seen and proved later, but accurate birth time is the essence of Vedic Astrologer. If there is even an iota of doubt in birth time, go for birth time rectification ELSE better do not take predictions because even a difference of one minute can make the predictions totally hay-wire.
One must try to ask the astrologer as to what divisional charts, the astrologer would refer to for analysis of different aspects/life issues. It is your prerogative to know if the astrologer is considering relevant divisional charts or will only refer to D-1, the Lagna Chart. I am very clear predictions based only on D-1 will err.
Now, these are the essentials before you start believing in any astrologer. Let me tell these essentials are only a checklist for you to check the qualities of an astrologer. One should not get swayed with who is the top best astrologer only reading in promos.
I may not be the best astrologer in India, but at least will explain how I practice on these basic principles of Vedic Astrology. Click on the right way of doing astrology, be it me or any other astrologer. Such reading will only improve the probability that you will get the right astrological predictions as no one consults the astrologer to test the astrologer, but idea is how we get the right predictions?
