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.
