Astrology – Myths, Science and Reality

Astrology is pseudoscience because it cannot be proven. It is a collection of practices and research done on the study of planets and their impact on the 12 houses of the horoscope. It is a study of stars and the movement of planets which will influence the lives, events, and behavior of an individual. A prerequisite for Astrology is the horoscope which is created at the time of birth, the current position of the solar system that gets imprinted on your horoscope in terms of the degree of planets, the position of the planets in the 12 houses.

Astrology is not a system where we only predict life events …. the behavior of the person is also analyzed, spouse nature and behavior, relationship with siblings, friends, and relatives. It is also where we can see the mental state of a person or the emotions he or she is feeling or going through. Astrology should be used where we can try to improvise our nature, strategize our decisions and use it to navigate our life smoothly.

In the Modern world, people even try to alter the time and try to ensure the delivery of a child is also done on a particular day. It is like changing your destiny for a better future which does not work all the time. There are many cases whom I know want to have the child born on a particular day, but destiny has other plans and most of the cases it does not happen and the child is born earlier or sometimes complications come and the child is born earlier. What God has planned for your destiny as per your past life karmas no one can alter that.

How does Astrology work for twins who are born on the same day and time? People believe that the twins share so much in common like mother’s womb and most important birth chart, as twins they will be living identical lives. Well as 2 people with the same gene can express themselves very differently even twins have their differences. So, all twins born will not have the same birth chart as it will depend on the exact time they were born. Secondly, the time elapsed between the first birth and second birth. As there will be a difference of minutes there is a possibility of the twins have different ascendants, cuspal positions of planets also change which will change some areas for the twins. The cuspal position changes in little as 4 minutes. As in Nadi Astrology, the result of the house depends on the Sub lord of each individual. In twins, the sub lord of most of the cusps change. When the ascendant cusp Sub lord changes the result of the entire chart changes.

When we go through any magazines, newspapers where we see the daily forecast which is nice but it does not convey the full meaning and people take it lightly. It is a general prediction for all people who are born in a particular Sun sign. Most of the time your sun sign and Lagna Ascendant are not the same so the daily forecast may not work for you.

There are many misconceptions on Astrology that needs to be cleared which will help people to use astrology to the fullest and take control of their life. Astrology is a system that everyone should use not only for the prediction of life events but to extract something positive from them. If you have faith, go for it and use it to the utmost benefit and if not then try to do an investigation and then decline it. Astrology is essential to understand the reflection of our past life karmas in this life.
