Astrology Research -FUNDS -HUGE UTILITY - but :((Performance of

[Guest guest]

I hope you keep your optimism alive and who knows what plan God has for that

thought that He planted in your mind years ago!

 

That said, I have observed a few things in my practice and in other astrologers'

experience as well. Sometimes good and correct advice gets delivered even when

the charts were wrong or inaccurate (thankfully rarely or else it would be one

happy chaos around!). I have also observed that wrong remedials, mantras etc

have been effective in resolving issues in individuals.

 

As Inderji said, there could be a Divine Plan in operation. I do not think any

of us were meeant to micromanage and control astrology of human experience!

However, these are for the most part anecdotal estimates themselves.

how many have read that book, now probably out of print. Through it and

setting out to examine the performance statistics of astrologers in a blinded

design. In other words all the astrologers had was accurate birthdata.

obvious reasons. I am not aware of any such explorations that have been taken

place in the Jyotish framework, however, we do hear percentages and such which

to the casual reader may indicate that someone has actually tested and surveyed

this matter. As the percentages get repeatedly quoted ranging all the way from

60 to 82% no one ever asks details about or sources of such statistics and the

number becomes firmer and firmer in people's minds with each repetition!

on a modest sample of available astrologers, mostly intermediate in experience,

some experienced and nearly all following tropical astrology. Despite a meagre

sample size (I will have to look up my data books but I am recalling anywhere

from 25-35 individuals. Overall, the performance rate was about 75% in

identifying things. This was not a comprehensive testing or full reading

situation.

the predictive scale of importance than say identifying that the nativity has no

younger siblings or wears glasses. Mind you I am not pooh-poohing the latter but

likely absence of children would be way more important for a nativity to know,

than say knowing that the child will grow up to become a businessman. Both

important things but somewhat different in subjective impact on the nativity who

is 25 and not even married at the time. Many such considerations exist.

consider the 'performance' of astrology=astrologers! Lot of work, obviously but

without that these success rate percentages are, please allow me to point out,

not meaningful!

reported that his child was kidnapped and he went to 150 astrologers over a

period of 6-7 months (august 2008 to Feburary 2009 or less) with no one giving

the same information or the correct information. This is indeed a massive sample

amounting to about 20 astrologers being seen per month if not more! It is

amazing to know that so many professional astrologers were accessible. It is

quite possible that this was a mixed bag, ranging from experts to beginners

which given the URGENCY of the scenario described is understandable that the

father was desperately seeking advice and help.

those who rely more on astro-logic and techniques as opposed to divinatory and

supra-logical procedures and siddhis etc (more power to them!) is to look at the

situation from a wider perspective. In this situation, that would entail

studying the charts of not just the child but also of the parents, perhaps

siblings if any, prashna -- of course! I have known astrologers who also give a

look to one's charts when tackling such important cases just to verify that the

communication channel is clear. The timing of delivery of readings, thus becomes

important.

all of us may not be utilizing all of these because of the time etc involved,

but it would be wise to not give a reading for serious questions in a casual way

or in an unprepared manner. Please understand that these are my thoughts and I

am thinking aloud and not implying that others do not exercise similar care when

they deliver their readings: short or more detailed.
