What is Astrology?
The study of the positions and aspects of celestial bodies is of the belief that they
have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs
.This study of how events on earth correspond to the positions and movements of
these planetary bodies is known as astrology.
These bodies included are the sun, moon, planets and stars. Depending on the
position of these astronomical bodies at the exact moment of a person's birth,
these bodies and their movements reflect that person's destiny & day to day life
activities. The knowledge of the person's character and their relation to the bodies
enables us to predict a person's destiny. This prediction is not limited to one
person. A prediction could be for an individual, group or nation. Individuals life
depends upon Desh (Country), Kaal (Year of Birth) & Patra (Individual's Strength &
Financial Powers) .Let us see how these astronomical bodies affect us.
History of Astrology
The stars and planets have always inspired a sense of wonder. Many cultures look
skyward and see the face of the divine there. There's a cosmic dance on the grand
scale, and one on the intimate scale, going on for each of us. Astrology is the
study of patterns and relationships -- of planets in motion, our birth chart, synastry
with others, the make-up of elements -- and using that knowledge as a tool to find
meaning.
Horoscopes
When experts designate a person as a certain sign--a Leo or Pisces, for example--
they are referring to the individual's sun sign. In other words, it is the sign that the
sun occupied at the time of the person's birth. To make an individual's horoscope,
the one must know the exact correct date of birth, time and place of his birth
When an expert cast a horoscope its based on a special view of the universe.
This view involves four elements: the earth, the planets, the stars and the houses.
This form of Astrology was created by the Chaldeans. This from was passed down
through civilizations and is still in existence today. The following describes the four
elements of horoscopes: The Four Elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water
