Dear Neelamji,You are right. We all including the heavenly bodies and the human beings are inter-related. In the language of Buddha there is non-separateness. Did not Lord Krishna say that the entire universe is from a part of his. It was by his Maya that he created the world as he says in the Bhagavad Gita and we cannot see through this Maya due to the prevalence of the Rajas and Tamas in us. If we can cultivate the Sattva then and then alone we can get over our Avidya and see through the Maya of the Lord and see the non-separateness and that is the way to realise the ultimate truth too.In astrology the natal horoscope allows us to have just a projection of events in the present life based on our prarabdha karma. But this projection is not independent of

people and their activities in the present environment. The knowledge of astrology helps one to best cope up with the issues in life. Knowledge of astrology is a must for the kings as the ancient law-book "Yajnavalkya Smriti" says. However Manu Smriti says those living on alms must not give astrological prediction during begging. This is probably for the reason that begging by the Vanaprasthis is to enable them to cast off the ego and if they practice astrology to earn their livelihood then the main aim will not be achieved. Of course some anti-astrology scholars do not know that our Dharma-shastras have recommended the use of astrology and they make a noise saying that astrology is not allowed to be used.Regards,Sunil Kumar Bhattacharjya.
