Astrology – the word is often used as a synonym for Luck, Fortune, Destiny or नियति by most!
A lot of highly successful people avow that it is the Luck factor that differentiates a lot of successful people from the not so succesful ones. Nithin Kamath, founder of highly successful startup Zerodha wrote in his Linkedin post about the significance of Luck in his life.
Luck seems to play an extremely significant role in almost all the aspects of our lives. It has the power to transform both our personal and professional lives. The role and importance of Astrology which tries to guage how much support, one gets from Destiny thus can not be underestimated.
Most people believe they can control their future. They work hard to reach their goals and avoid failure. But this sense of control is mostly an illusion. Luck can easily overturn our best plans. It can change everything in seconds—good or bad, anytime, anywhere, without warning.
Astrology can help one plan achieve a better outcome of almost any situation but one must know how to use it. Most people make a very simple or rather poor kind of use of the divine tool that the Creator has blessed us with.
Astrology must be seen by the discerning and the intelligent as a way to help maximise intended outcomes or minimise the unintended ones. This article should help you understand the best ways to use Astrology as part of human intelligence backed planning process. It should also make you learn on how not to use Astrology in your life in general.
Hindu religion has put a lot of focus on the Karma. Karma is Free will component of our lives. As human beings, we are blessed with the sense to discern the right from the wrong.
The Hindu philosophy use the terms Paraa (परा) and Prakriti (प्रकृति) to describe different aspects of existence. Paraa refers to the higher spiritual reality — the superior, conscious energy of the Divine. Apara (अपरा) Prakriti, on the other hand, denotes the lower, material nature — the unconscious, inert aspect of creation.
The baser aspects of our thinking or consciousness lead us to do wrong acts. The doing of wrong acts subjects us to the divine justice.
The good and bad deeds of one birth are carried forward in next births and this is known as Prarabdh ( प्रारब्ध). Our birth chart or Kundli is like a diagram that depicts the divine algorithm we have got in this birth, based on past deeds of our many previous births.
Astrology is the study of this divine algorithm and it decodes the message suggested by the planetary patterns appearing in our various astrological charts.
Yes. The luck factor or the support recieved from one’s destiny are seen by the 9th house of the Kundli ( horoscope) and the position of the 9th lord.
The Ninth house is the house that tells us about how strong or weak our luck will be in this birth time. The 5th house indicates the good deeds that we are carrying from our previous births ( पूर्व संचित पुण्य ).
By looking at the condition of the 9th and 5th houses and their planetary lords, learned astrologers can give you a fairly accurate estimate of the support from destiny or luck factor that you are going to enjoy in this birth time.
The strength and weakness of the above mentioned houses and their planetary lords is seen through what is known as PAC model of astrological evaluation. P stands for placement, A stands for Aspect and C – stands for Conjunction.
Placement means where the planet is placed – whether in good house or a bad house, in enemy sign or bad sign, if exalted, debilitated, combust or retrograde.
Aspects means the aspects it is recieving – whether beneficial or malefic, of friendly or rnemy planets etc.
Conjunction means if the planet is placed with friendly planets in an house or with strong enemies or too close to the Sun.
You can get an assessment of your Luck factor by making a chart at Astropatri.
One must see Astrology as a tool provided by the benevolent Almighty to help humans better their lives and also the lives of creatures around them. One must note that most astrological remedies involve doing one or other act of kindness towards animals.
To use Astrology in a positive and constructive manner, one must do the following:
1. Believe that Astrology is part of the overall grace system of the Creator.
2. Use Astrology in tandem with other success mechanisms like hard work, persistence, strong mental attitude etc.
3. Use Astrology as an aiding factor for positive outcomes and as a controlling or mitigating factor for negative outcomes.
4. Believe in Karma and the supremacy of the grace of God, blessings of Elders and the fact that Free will can override a lot of the restraining factors indicated in the Kundli or astrological charts.
5. Use Astrology as a planning tool. For example – if a health scare is indicated in the chart – do efforts like daily exercise, Yoga, moderated and mindful eating and regular testing and getting timely treatments etc instead of just following morose.
6. Using Astrology for inner build-up and transformation – Astrology is often reflective of our inner self. One should use it for self observation and evaluation and also for emotional growth.
7. Do remedies as part of your overall kindness outreach instead of fears. For example – if one is suggested to feed say dogs, do it with utmost compassion and not as a mere ritual.
8. Your behavior in general should be kind and compassionate towards all. be it needy people, animals, old people, orphans etc. The system of astrology and divine justice takes into account overall behaviour and just not remedies. No remedies will work if the behaviour is cruel, improper or immoral.
9. Using Astrology as a wholesome life philosophy and just an engine producing astrological predictions. Let it be a healing and helping science for your mind, body and the society around you.
10. Using Astrology consulting for difficult situations rather than day to day life situations. One should consult knowledgable astrologers when one is genuinely stuck and the situation looks overwhelming. One must resist the temptation to consult at smallest of the scares or difficulties.
Unfortunately this will almost look like a ready -reckoner of how people and astrology apps are using astrology nowadays. Astrology is being just used for getting Astrology predictions and most astrologers and believers of the science are treating as a scare mongering and superstition spreading practice.
Here is a broad level advice of not using Astrology :
1. Do not treat this Astrology as deterministic or the utmost final verdict- many a times, the outcomes can differ either due to some astrological factors not being taken in account or the supremacy of the combination of hard work, perseverence, blessings of elders and grace of God.
2. Do not rush in to use Astrology at the first instance of percieving or encountering difficulty unless you think that it might be a life altering one.
3. Treat Astrology as the whole and sole recourse for any difficult situation. For example – in case of Health scare, go for medical treatment and do astrological remedies as support and not the vice versa.
4. Learn to differntiate between genuine and fake practitioners of the science of Astrology. If you are unable to do it yourself, take help from people who can. One of the indicators of fake or dishonest practitioners is that they would try to induce you to soend large sums of money in remedies at the first instance.
5. Do not let negative predictions mar your mental health. One’s attitude can make all the difference between a desired and an undesired outcome!
Astropatri is not a commercial venture. Our aim is to spread the right kind of astrology to the believers. While we want to make money to sustain ourselves along with people & astrologers associated with us, making money is not the top most reason for our existence.
We would like to propogate the usage of Astrology more in a positive, constructive and wholesome manner rather than just for astrology predictions or frivolous kind of situations. A lot of highly successful apps are running astrology consultation business more like a dating or relationship advice rather than a serious, Shaastra led science. We do not intend to go that way even if it means that we would never be as huge or highly commercially successful ventures like the others.
Here is a detailed list down of our values. You can consult our astrologers if you agree with our values. All our astrologers are senior, well experienced people and they lead a pious life just as advised by our ancient texts. Consulting them when you are feeling stuck, shall prove useful and beneficial.
