Exploring thyself has been always been a fascinating
subject to mankind, and Astrology is one such science
that analyses your past, defines your present and
predicts your future.
For some it's just a pass time, for some it is a serious
science and for some it is just a mode of revenue.
Whatever be the perception, Astrology is undoubtedly the
only science that predicts human life pattern, depending
upon the faraway heavenly bodies.
Astrology
is divided into three major parts:
1.
Jataka - The
study of Horoscope based on date, time and
place of birth.
2.
Prasna - The study of the Horoscope based on the
time of the question asked to the astrologer.
3.
Muhurta - The study of advantageous moments based
on Panchanga, chosen for specific purpose
Jataka:
This
is the study of the diagrammatic representation of the
positions of the planets depending upon your time, date
and place of birth. This chart, normally referred to as
natal chart or horoscope or Janma Patri or Kundli or
Jatakam, studies the possibilities of important events
in an individual’s life.
Success
and failure are part and parcel of life, and Astrology
tries to predict the pitfalls for the failure and
provides possible methods to overcome it.
There
are 2 timing techniques to study this.
Dasa
- Bhukti - planetary periods and sub periods for 120
years
Gochar
effects - effects of Planets as they keep moving -
Transit
Prasna:
Fear
of failure haunts all our new endeavours. Before taking
the mighty leap, you can always refer to an Astrologer
who can give you an idea about the planetary positions
that can boost your confidence and enhance your
vitality.
In
this method, the astrologer compares your planetary
positions to the period at which you have put up the
question.
Muhurta:
electional astrology - A
job well begun is half done.
This
is about choosing a favourable time to start or commence
an important event of your life. This may include your
marriage, starting a new business or deals involving
huge investments.
For
example - Your painting would be spoiled soon, if you
have painted it when the weather was not conducive.
Hence, the time of commencement of any job holds
significance.
At
the subtle levels, the positions of planets at certain
positions, will give you edge to complete the task more
easily.
This
branch of the astrology involves the Panchanga - which
means panch (5), and anga (limbs).
The
5 main divisions of time as per this branch are:
1.
Weekdays (Sunday, Monday…)
2.
Nakshatra (Star) (approx 24 hours)
3.
Thithi (approx 24 hours)
4.
Yoga (approx 24 hours)
5.
Karana (approx 12 hours)
Certain
activities throw up best results when commenced on
certain weekdays, star, tithi and karana.
The
believer first states the type of activity he plans to
start. Then within a particular range of dates, he
requests the astrologer to give an auspicious date. The
star ruling on the final selected date(s) should not
only be auspicious as per Muhurta rules, but also match
the specific person.
For
example - a particular day may be good, but the star
ruling on that day may not favour the concerned person.
