 What is Astrology?

It is the relation between the position of the planets and the impact of these positions on earth and hence on the lives which live on the planet. It may be considered a pseudoscience but has been in existence for centuries and have looked to it for guidance and solutions. People who believe in it follow it religiously. Some renowned people have used it as a powerful tool to understand themselves and their relation and thus their reactions to those around them. This helps them know the road map of life.

It has been believed since long that the stars have guided humans and animals alike. It is believed that the astronomical positions of the planets and Sun, Moon, comets etc at the time of a person’s birth have a direct influence on that person’s character, personality, success or failures. The celestial movements of these bodies are thought to impact the destiny. This is a science and has calculations and is believed to be centuries old. There are rituals and calendars which talk about the celestial movement of stars and hence the best time to begin or launch a new task or a new project or undertake a journey. It also predicts seasonal shifts, impacting agriculture, investments and weddings and births. The time and death is also significant. Indians, Chinese and Mayans have culturally attached significance to these calendars and predicted occurrence based on them.

Rome, ancient Mesopotamia, Greece and the Middle East also developed its own systems over time. The one followed in the current modern world tries to define people and categorise into personality types, behaviours, likes and dislikes etc. This makes reaching out to people easier. Astrology is related to scholarly traditions like alchemy and alternative medicine and is also mentioned in architecture and literature.

The horoscope or birth chart defines the person it talks about. It has its own symbols much like alphabets in a language. It is a road map and how we choose to walk on the path is our own discretion. It should be used wisely but the ultimate decider is the person himself or herself who has to decide the radical self-acceptance as dictated by the stars or plates.

There is a reason when nature tells us to stop dead in our tracks. It is not nature telling us that we are just wrong; we are being told that we absolutely and dangerously wrong. We have been cutting trees, ruining ecosystems, merrily calling ourselves as foodies and indulging in greed. All this may sound like a preachy article, but frankly why and since when have started using food as a means of soul enrichment. It has been forever.
