Introduction To Astrology

Everyone wonders, at some time or the other, what the future holds in store for him/her; even the skeptic. Astrology is one such medium, based on established criteria, that tries to shed some light into a dark tunnel of future events. The first few chapters will give the reader a basic understanding of the subject of Astrology what it is and what it is not.

It has now been, more or less, universally accepted that astrology — (Jyotish) has been in existence in India for many millenniums now, along with the Vedas. Jyotish consists mainly of two parts: astronomy and astrology.

Astronomy, as defined by the Living Webster — Encyclopaedic Dictionary of English language, is the science that treats of the location, magnitudes, motions, nature and constitution of celestial bodies and structures. Or basically, charting of the motion and the nature of the heavenly bodies.

Astrology is the science of effect and influences of the celestial bodies on life on earth, especially of the observable planets, and constellations considered nearer in relation to Earth. As civilisations have evolved, each generation of Astrologers have added their own research and experience to the vast knowledge, with the existing socio-economic structures of their own current as.

Astrology is the knowledge of relationships based on a study of planetary influences, on man and his environment. It includes the entire galaxy and is true of the planetary bodies new radiations affect each other, including the earth and all the things on it. There is no doubt that Sun has the greatest influence n the life on earth.

Without it there would be no life, for without it there would be no warmth, no division into day and night, no cycle of time, no plantation and no seasons, and no life at all. The influence of Sun is clear and easy to see. The influence of Moon on the other hand, is more subtle, though no less definite.

There are many ways in which the influence of Moon manifests itself on earth, human, plant and animal life. It is well known fact that large movement of water on earth, that is the flow of tides, is caused by Moon. Human body, too, which consists of 70 percent water, falls within the scope of lunar influence. The menstrual cycle of many women correspond to the lunar month; the human period of pregnancy is 273 days, or equal to nine lunar months. Many a mental illness, suicides etc. have been noted to increase during periods of lunar activity. Agriculturists have established that the Moon has a distinct influence on crops, which explains why for centuries people have planted according to the movement of Moon. Migratory birds depart only at or near the time of full Moon. Just as certain fish, eels in particular, move in accordance with certain phase of the Moon.

It is been established in physical sciences that everything in the universe has an effect on everything else, and it is useful to know that this is also true about the various constellations and planets in the visible heaven. Let us see how astrology works.

How astrology works
Astrology is based on a pure science. This may come as a surprise to many readers. But the fact is that the astrological chart is based on astronomical data. The astrological chart is the exact chart of the heavens showing the various planets, as they could be seen in the heavens at that particular time, and from that particular place on earth. If an astronomical chart were to be constructed of that time, indeed an the planets and constellations would be visible in the sky same as shown in the astrological chart. Similar charts are given everyday in newspapers. In simple terms, the astrologer prepares the chart of the exact position of the planets as could have been seen from the place where a person was born, and at the time when the person was born.
