How is Astrology Not a Blind Faith

Astrology as a science has been practiced since ages. However, it has only been in the recent few decades that people have actually started questioning the validity or the authenticity of this practice. However, astrology is not just any practice but a practice which does have some scientific base to it. Let us see how.

• Based on planetary movements

If you ask any Hindu Astrologer about the very basis or the foundation of astrology, the prompt answer which you will get is that astrology just does not appear from the middle of anywhere but is heavily dependent upon the position of planets which dictates the moods and temperaments of any individual. Hence, before you strike off astrology on the grounds of being blind faith, think twice.

• Background of horoscopes

Have you ever wondered why while making your Kundli, the astrologers ask you for your date of birth, time of birth, place of birth? It’s not just random information which he seeks to get from you. In fact, it is on the basis of these details that the Hindu Astrologers are in a position to understand the planetary positions at the time of your birth which helps in making them understand how and what your traits and characteristics are going to be like. In fact, all these details help in determining your zodiac sign which is responsible for making you the person you are with your traits, characteristics, qualities as well as shortcomings.

• For the non-believers of astrology

People who disregard astrology by labeling it as blind faith actually don’t really know and understand what astrology means and how it works. It is only when they get to the root of it, will they be in a better position to understand and judge the importance and power of astrology. And the study of astrology is not something which you can learn in a day or even a year. Hindu Astrologers who are actively practicing astrology in its varied forms have studied this science since a very long time which has enabled them and made them the scholars on this subject. Hence, it is not out of the blue that astrology has emerged as one of the most popular sciences not just in India but all across the world.

• Reference of Astrology in the Vedas

The Vedas is considered one of the most scientific books of the human civilization. In Vedas, it has been mentioned at many places how the position of the planet and the moon brings psychological changes in the moods of humans. This has been backed scientifically too. For instance, on the full moon day, the moon gravitational force increases which is known to cause a mental disturbance for some people. Astrology also studies the position of the planets and how it affects us.

 While the argument may be endless, the fact remains that astrology has helped thousands and lacs of people by providing guidance and light through methodical calculations and experienced astrologers. So the next time, you want to say that astrology is nothing but just some blind faith, think twice. You may be wrong.
