Science
of relationship between the Heaven and the people
-Anil Panicker
Astrology can be defined as “the study
of the real or supposed relationship between the Heavens and
the people on the earth”. It is, in fact, the science
of divination, which calculates the supposed influence of planets
upon human affairs and aims at foretelling the events on the
earth by their movements, positions and aspects. An astrologer
must have the horoscope or “The map of the Hour”
as his basic weapon. Separate chapters have been assigned to
the ‘Casting of a horoscope’.
No doubt horoscope is the telescope for seeing the
cycle of deeds. God has already arranged the happiness
and misery in alternating way. The periods of nine
planets rotate in a cycle. Each period has sub-periods
of the nine planets again as a sub-cycle. The horoscope
is a beautiful arrangement of your deeds in alternating
way by the divine Father who has immense affection
on the souls. The total period of the nine planets
is 120 years. For each Zodiac of birth (Janma raasi)
there will be a continuous ascending period of sixty
years and another continuous descending period of
60 years. One may be born in the beginning or in the
middle or in the end part of ascending period or descending
period depending upon his previous interference through
rituals. Mesha, Karkataka, Simha, Vrischika, Dhanush
and Meena zodiacs have the beginning of ascending
period of 60 years which ends with the period of Jupiter.
Jyotisham (Astrology) is the subject which relates
to Jyoti or planet. The actual meaning of Jyoti is
only God. According to the Veda and the Brahma Sutras,
Jyoti means light. The planet guides you to the fruit
of your deed. It is called as Graha which means that
it will capture you wherever you are present to deliver
the fruit of your deed to you at the exact fraction
of second.
Astrology is elementary level of spiritual knowledge
which introduces the super-natural power that is beyond
the science. It gives knowledge of the celestial bodies,
their magnitudes, motions, distances, periods sizes,
weight, order etc. It is a unique method of interpretation
of the correlation of planetary influence. This impresses
that there is a constantly moving relationship between
the very large moving objects of the universe such
as the sun, moon, and planets and the small moving
objects, such as human beings and animals.
Astrology is the oldest of all sciences.
It is the real Science of the Stars. It is a science
of all sciences, the key to all knowledge. It includes
in its various ramifications such modern sciences as
Astrology Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology
and many others.
Astrology is definitely a science and is the art in
the hand’s of an honest, sincere, intelligent
and intuitive astrologers to predict the future events
converting the effects of the planets, houses, ascendant
and the configuration at birth time with subsequent
planetary motions through the emotional, physiological,
social, economical, circumstantial, egotistical, environmental,
psychological, conditions. Thus astrology will definitely
guide the realms of human life.
