Vedic Astrology

Vedic Astrology is a science that uses coded language to analyse the ‘Karmic report card’ or ‘pattern card’ of individuals. This ‘card’ can be created from details inferred from the natal chart of a person. Karma is recorded in the form of attitude in the minds of people. Vedic astrology helps in understanding the life pattern, overall health, and economic status of a person by merely using as data the date and time of their birth.

Ancient Indian Rishis decoded this secret language and discovered patterns comparing events in various people’s lives with the planetary positions at the time of birth of those people. Planets were personified and described as ‘gods’ that had their own distinctive qualities. The natal chart of course indicates the past Karma, which basically stems from genetic traits they have inherited, but future Karma is always open and is totally under the control of people. Knowing past Karma helps people come to terms with various kinds of problems they face and to find suitable solutions for them. In my opinion, an opportunity in one’s life to come across Vedic Astrology and to find someone who could throw light on one’s past Karma, itself is a result of good past Karma. So many questions, such as the typical ‘Why me?’ or ‘What wrong have I done to undergo all this trouble’, can be answered through Vedic Astrology.

As a young boy, I tended to be quite taciturn and would silently observe people. I would closely watch how they spoke, how they reacted, how they walked or used their hands while communicating and so on. I would observe their eyes to see if I could read their thoughts through them. As time went by, I began comparing one person’s general mannerisms or style with those of others, and I could clearly see resemblances in the attitudes and behaviour of some people. Later on, I started reading about the various signs of the zodiac. By the time I was fifteen, I could very easily guess the zodiac signs of almost eight out of every ten people I met. That certainly wasn’t magic but a result of my own self-styled statistics and the help of the studies of our ancestors through the last millennia.

There are people who were born into absolutely poor families but later on in life, rose to very high positions, and became dictators, presidents, scientists, Nobel Prize winners or even astronauts. There are also those that were born into wealthy families, but their circumstances forced them to live life in penury and die miserably.

Natal charts reveal past Karma, and present actions affect future Karma. Children born into the same family show totally different traits during childhood. This is because of the genetic traits from different ancestors they have inherited. This, later on, is influenced by parents, teachers, friends, story books, movies, etc. People who try to understand the concept or rather principle of Karma, find it much easier to deal with various situations in life instead of developing self-pity, becoming depressive or ‘going into a shell’.

With my humble experience of over two decades, I can say with certitude that Vedic Astrology does help in understanding patterns in a person’s life.

I do not claim to be an expert or master on this subject, but I continue my research in order to understand Vedic Astrology well. This ancient science can be utilised to pinpoint the causes of repeated troubles and issues in a person’s life.  It can be used as a diagnostic tool to benefit people interested in the subject of self-analysis and self-improvement.
