My mom started learning astrology and then apparently I have started developing my interest in this subject. From my childhood only I have keen interest in this field but I never tried studying it seriously since last 1 year. I am still learning astrology, but just trying to express my views about this subject to the extend I know about it and what I feel till now about it.When you start getting into this subject you would feel like being more lost in this vast field. Especially when I started learning it I came to know how unknown I am to all this mesmerizing world. Hell lot of things to learn and to consider while looking at someone's chart. Lagna Lord, Nakshatra, Nakshatra Lord, Rashi, Rashi Lord, various Yoga in chart among different planets, Aspects of various planets to each other, drishti, Dasha, relationship among planets and many more. And its simply challenging but very interesting.
Regardless of many different opinions and controversial views about this subject, I always experience sense in this vast Subject. There are many people around, according to whom this is all fake and does not have any relevance with real life but I think there are hardly some astrologers around the world who really know about this subjects in detail and who posses really good knowledge about it. But just because of those few astrologers who do not posses that much knowledge in this subject and still they go on predicting things about someone's horoscope made Astrology really infamous. It's very natural on the part of that person who shows his/her horoscope to someone and nothing come true or nothing is relevant, then of course they are not going to believe in that anymore. There are heaps of things which a good astrologer considers while looking at someone's chart, and if you miss a single thing then prediction changes accordingly. House lord, planet placement, which lord is in which house, Dasha, Aspects, Nakshatra, Enemy neutral and friendly planets their relationship with each other and of course with each Nakshatra and with each sign. Degree is another important factor to be considered while reading someone's chart, on what degree planet has placed in which sign, whether its exalted, or in Multrikona, or Debilitated, conjunction of planets with each other in various houses and many more factors to be considered while reading chart. Such a vast subject to study and actually you could spend your life studying this, that's why It is very hard to find someone who is really good in this field and who can actually know how to read the chart.
Good Astrologer are very rare and because of that most people come across such astrologer who are not enough good to predict or may be who have not studied astrology that well and that's why fail to predict, and then people start making their perceptions about whole astrology as a fake. I really regret to say this but there are many people not only in India but around the world who are making fun of this great knowledge and science, just because of these few "So called" astrologers who allow them to do that.
Astrology is like a Iceberg, only one tenth is above the water surface and remaining hidden inside it. You need to dig it down till the bottom to know what is this science is exactly all about, how these planets affect your life and your personality how it changes and how these changes affect your life accordingly. I started studying astrology and now i am feeling like more lost in this ocean. I have come across some so amazing and astonishing things in astrology after which i seriously feel like studying more and more when i actually experienced it.
So I really wonder why people are so prejudice about astrology, rather they should consult some good astrologers so they will not face any disappointment. Without knowing anything and without going through some people just make there opinion and affect others also, I don't know why. Anyways I am not saying one should rely on astrology totally but at least try it and then decide whether it is sense or not.
But i would like to make one point here that, no one bloody no one can change and decide his/her destiny or control the events that going to happen in his/her life, so horoscope is just like a road map of one's life that's it. But just by knowing your destiny or timing of the events that going to happen in your life, one can not control those events or one can not avoid those events to happen. Some things are in "His" hands only and we are just spectator at that moment who just become the part of that event and can do nothing. So we just have to do Karma and should not worry about final result, I know its very hard to implement in real life but that's what we have to do. This statement from Geeta is self-explanatory :
कर्मणये वाधिकारस्ते मां फलेषु कदाचन । मां कर्मफलहेतुर्भू: मांते संङगोस्त्वकर्मणि ।।
You must work with perfect serenity without worrying about consequences or ultimate result of your work, that is your right and you should keep doing that, you should not worry about the final result as that result is in "His" hands. Also you should not work for attaining a particular result, the ultimate result should not be your focus. Jyotish or Astrology is just to know your life path but not to control or modify it. Yeah of course you could control the severity of the events by some remedies but you can not avoid it. Lord Ram also could not change his life path and could not control or avoid any events to happen, He had to go for Vanwaas (Jungle) though he was a Prince or Ayodhya and later became the Kind of Ayodhya. Very Famous Indian mathematician and astronomer "Bhaskaracharya" who was born in Deshashtha Brahmin community and who has significant contribution in Arithmetic, Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus. He was also a very good astrologer but still he also could not avoid 'Gandantar' (Bad Phase) on his daughter and could not save her from being a widow, he already knew that if his daughter get married on particular time then only she could be saved from being widow, but as I say no one can control or avoid any bad event to happen in life except that "One" if you have that much grace of that Almighty on you, though he was very good astrologer and already knew what is going to happen with his daughter he could not avoid that thing to happen, and ultimately could not save his daughter from being widow.
So even though you believe in astrology do not try to control or avoid the events that is going to happen by using this, just believe in that "One" super power and put yourself at the feet of that Almighty and ask for the strength to face the situation or event. So just believe in Him, I am sure He will not disappoint you at any level at any time in your life.
"God Always has three answers for your prayer 'Yes', 'Wait', 'I have another better option for you' but he will never say no"
So just have a faith in "Him" !!
