What Is Astrology and Where Can It Help You?
Astrology is an Indian ancient science or technology meant to help people gain clarity in specific areas of life, such as:
- Relationships & Compatibility
- Marriage & Children
- Self-Understanding & Personal Growth
- Health & Well-being
- Career Path Decisions
- Timing of Important Events
- etc.
However, it's important to understand that astrology is not about changing your destiny or rewriting your birth chart (Kundali). Whatever is indicated in your chart is based on the planetary positions at the time of your birth, and those karmic patterns will unfold accordingly.
To understand this better, consider the examples of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna both divine incarnations. Despite being gods, even they had to face difficult life events written in their destinies, such as vanvas (exile), losses, etc. This clearly shows that no one not even the divine who born as a human can change what is destined in their birth chart.
Astrology can guide you, prepare you, and help you make wiser decisions, but it does not guarantee a perfect life or eliminate all challenges. Every birth chart has a mix of good and difficult aspects, and that’s a universal truth.
Lastly, don’t forget the core teaching of the Bhagavad Gita : the law of karma. Astrology shows possibilities, but your actions (karma) play a crucial role in shaping outcomes. Not everything depends solely on your chart.
Astrology is an Indian ancient science or technology for awareness, not a magic fix. So before believing anything blindly, always apply your own logic and understanding.
