Astrology
................................................................................................................
Indian Astrology is considered to be one of the oldest, most accurate and
consistent form of astrology all over the world. It is a natural cosmic science
based on real astronomy. In India, where Astrology is taken very seriously, it
is one of the most important gifts to the Indian culture. Indian Astrology is
generally regarded to be very predictive in nature and hence, it can help you to
face the future in a better way, evading any misfortunes or obstacles that might
be laid down in your path to success.
The ancient Vedas which are said to be the oldest religious literature
available has references to this science. "Jyothisha or Astrology" is one of the
limbs of the "Vedas" which date back to 1500 B.C.. Hindus were the original
masters who had the thorough knowledge of astronomy and many rituals and
religious rites were related to the position of planets and their motions.
Long before Kepler, Copernicus, Brahe, Galilio and other galaxy of
astronomers were born, the Hindu sages had already gained much knowledge on the
stellar or planetary universe.
Indian Astrology - Branches
Indian Astrology has been divided into three main branches of study.
1. Siddanta
2. Samhita
3. Hora
Siddantas are those who devote to astronomical study of celestial bodies
Samhitas deal with mundane astrology, earth quakes, floods, volcanic eruptions,
rainfall, weather conditions economic conditions and effects of sunspots. The
next and the very important branch is the Phalitha Jyothisha branch which
concentrates on the system of predictions. And this branch has six
sub-divisions, namely, Jathaka, Gola, Prasna, Nimitta, Muhurta and Ganitha.
Apart from these schools of planetary interpretations, we have what we can
call as Nadi system which gives pen pictures of life and destiny patterns of
people born at 12, 24, 48 seconds intervals. These have been written on palm
leaves. Only very few experts can read and understand these, but the results and
predictions are found to be amazingly accurate.
Indian Astrology - In a nut-shell
The Indian astrology study consists of 27 constellations, in 12 lunar
mansions. The movements of two luminaries Sun and Moon, five major planets
(Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mercury) and the two nodal points of the Moon
i.e., Rahu and Ketu are considered and their positions are marked. The extra
Saturnine planets like Pluto, Neptune and Uranus are not recognised by the
Indian Astrology. Above all, Moon is taken as very important planet for
predictions though it is satellite of earth. The Moon, at the time of birth is
found in a particular position or in a particular star and it will be taken as
the star of the person born. This star will be used for finding out the
major and sub-periods of the person in his life.
