Is Astrology a word or a myth? No matter what, it attracts everyone. If you are an Astrologer, people want to know about their future. It is possible that someone may be testing you, and is hard to ignore an Astrologer right in front of you.
A couple of months ago, an article on Astrology was written by one
of my friends. It was published, and there were tons of questions raised by
readers about Astrology. The writer had not given the right answer to
satisfy the appetite of those hungry questioners and in result, I was also one
of the predators of that hunt. Readers concluded that Astrology is something
that is not reliable and is also not an exact science.
One day something happened, that made me
change the way that I was viewing astrology. I took a 180 degree turn in order
to rethink my view on astrology and was ready to take a trip from Delhi to
Agra. In the past we had concluded that his journey would take about 215 km or
in other words, approximately 3.0to 3.5 hrs. Considering the fact that the
speed is 70-80 km/hr. and you would take two breaks of 10/15 minute each.
If
you ask someone how much time it will take to reach Agra from Delhi, do you
know what the answer will be. I am sure that anyone who has common sense will
ask you to tell them what the mode of the transportation is; whether you would
like to go by flight, train, car, bus or may be by cycle.
It is obvious that we usually talk
about something that looks visible and has been used in the past. But the same
question asked to an Astrologer will be like my son/daughter’s future when
he/she will grow up. After this, what answer will we expect? An absolute
answer, the limited knowledge of that Astrologer or not knowledge at all, to
ask you back, such as “what environment you are going to provide him/her?”
In the consideration of journey outcome, if you don’t know the mode of
transportation, how would you suggest when will be the person reach? It might
take hours, days, or weeks.
Astrologers generally predict the future on the basis of time of
birth and the place that you were born. This place in all the cases have been
used for preparing your “Janm Kundli” by some “Pundit” or astrologer at the
time of your birth. But those things were good only for a certain period of
time, so your kundli might be useful only for a small period of time after your
birth for correct prediction of your future.
If you have moved from your birth
place (change of city or country) or if something has drastically changed in
your surroundings, it will make an impact on you future prediction. Because
this change will change the influences of your stars and planet, these may
affect in a very different way. To understand this better, let us take a real
life example.
I have to
drive from Delhi to Agra using a car. For this purpose, I used a GPS and put my
destination in it. The GPS then takes my location and address’
coordinates. It tells me a reliable driving route and a distance. (For
example it will take around 125 miles and the approximate arrival time is
3.0hrs.) The GPS will consider the average speed, speed limitation, and
standard route.
You can validate this information
from another travel website too. Most of the websites will give you the same
route, distance, and time. Maybe some websites have different routes to
calculate your distance and time for your journey. However, all the results
will be pretty much the same.
How can someone predict that you will reach in 3.0 hrs? How
someone is able to predict the time about this journey and what the factors
that they consider, are made to claim about these prediction.
I am sure that many of you will
say, it is not a big deal. It is a pure mathematical calculation; The “GPS” will use some kind of
software to calculate the travel distance, speed, and route of your journey.
This is agreed, but can I take this arrival time for granted? Now, if I start asking this question
to ten different people, I am sure I will get ten different answers.
Some will say, if you will not take a break, you may
reach with in time. If I would ask same question to another person, his answer
could be, it all depends on you and your route situation. Do you know why?
It is because no one can tell you about the things that may cause your
arrival time to change. It is possible that there could be an accident on the
road or a Traffic Jam. Your car could get a mechanical problem, you may drive
very slowly, or you may change your mind not to go for that trip at all.
But, when an astrologer
predicts about someone future, Why can’t they consider the facts, which may
cause to change someone future? I am not sure, what I think is right or wrong
but in the end; it’s an effort to
set a correlation between sciences of two different paradigms.
“By just seeing a handful of seeds, Can you guaranteed,
all the seeds will turn in to the same exact plant”.
My perception says an “Astrologer” should consider two
things:
1. Fixed Parameters
The fixed parameters are the place of birth& time,
and mother& father, and blood related siblings of this person.
2. Variable Parameters
In the variable, parameters are a current place of
living, beliefs, attitude, and actions. By just looking at some patra (Kundli)
of someone that was prepared years back, you can only get a glimpse of his/her
future.
When we consider these many parameters for a small journey
then how can we predict someone journey of life with so little and fixed
information?
My theory says that an astrologer should give you
an idea of your future only by considering all the facts are pretty much same
as that were at the time of your birth. An absolute declaration will be no good
since parameters are changing on daily basis.
If an astrologer wants to give an absolute declaration of
someone, he/she should consider followings facts:-
1. The differences of planet
positions as on today vs. at the time of birth
2. Change of place
3. Change in family
situation(birth & death)
4. Current education level
5. Any illness or
diseases(person)
These are my thoughts; I am not sure how much validity
they have/had in the sense of an astrology perspective.
When , I use a GPS for my trip , I see an
astrologer in my car window, which remind me our future that could be
predictable, if you have an absolute information, variables and a good
software. I am sure that you could definitely see you future much clear by
adopting these facts.
