ASTROLOGY

Astrology is a science of human reactions to planetary vibrations.
I quote below some important portions of paragraphs from the chapter "outwitting the stars" from the book "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda a well known Yogi.
" A child is born on that day and on that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual KARMA. His horoscope is a challenging portrait revealing his unalterable past and its probable future results."
" The message boldly blazoned across the heavens at the moment of birth is not meant to emphasise fate, the result of past good or evil - but to arouse man's will to escape from the universal thraldom. What he has done he can undo.---He can overcome any limitations because he created it by his own action in the first place and because he possesses spiritual resources that are not subject to planetary pressure. --- The soul is ever free. It is deathless because birthless. It cannot be regimented by stars."
The above quotations are self explanatory. It is there the utility of astrology comes. The correct astrology gives the right timings of good and evil. By utilising our spiritual resources we can enhance good and nullify evil by scientifie meditation or religious prayers of any religion.
There are so many astrologies in different countries by different methods. All of them are not fully perfect. From my own experience I have realised the following method of prediction is comparatively better.
The Earth revolves around the Sun in one year, covering 360 degrees. The Earth also rotates around its own axis also covering 360 degrees in one day. From trial and error methods it is found that there is some relation between one day and one year. As an example if some astrloger has to predict some one's life at 30 years of age , he has to see the planets positions , 30 days after his birth, and see what aspects these planets are making with the position of birth planets and do predictions accordingly. These are called progressions. The movement of planets in the sky at the 30 th. year of age (current year ) also give support to the progressions in predicting the approximate timing of event if they are similar to progressions. These are called transits. Progressions are 365 times powerful than similar transits. Only events that have birth chart impressions can materialise . If there is no birth chart impression, the power of event is minor or no event as indicated may take place. This method is said to be once originated in India and lost its significance as simpler and easier methods were developed in India. This method of prediction was gradually shifted to Gulf countries and from there to Europe and America, where it underwent much research and development. At present this method is known as Western Astrology.
Most of the astrologers who follow this method give their predictions folowing the longitudes of planets. But as observed by me the predictions are more appropriate in timing of events if we take right ascensions of planets instead of longitudes.
SKY IS THE LANGUAGE OF GOD. A GOOD ASTROLOGER CAN READ IT.
