My name was raised in a post from yesterday so I thought I would make another comment or two. Unfortunately, a subject such as astrology does not mesh well with the standard scientific method. Science needs to "see" and use the other senses to justify what it thinks is real. I am not an expert but I have read of experiments that have been done that DEPEND ON THE ADMINISTRATOR - in other words, the results of the experiment depend on who has organized and conducted the experiment! This is a very weird result, but the universe is a weird place. I would say that, perhaps, astrology is "real" if you believe it's real. Maybe it depends on each individual person! Anyhow, in my opinion, everything is in the natal chart. The proper interpretation depends on the skill of the practitioner. I have gained insights from my natal chart even though I've only been studying astrology for about a year, and I hope to be able to interpret future events by

becoming more adept in astrology. Best wishes to everyone, whether you think astrology is real, bunk, or a little of both. econ

Affect of planets

 

Resp. econ,

Thanks for your reappearance after a long time, and your msg.

prompted me to shell out my views on some points :

>>>>>>>Unfortunately, a subject such as astrology does not mesh well

with the standard scientific method.<<<<<<<

No, it is not so. Actually science is a consolidation of latest

knowledge based on some theories (when it is not proved), based on

some formulas (when it can be checked with some calculation) and

based on some principles (which can be proved beyond any doubt with

latest level of information). But before science every thing was

covered by myth (which is a stage below from theory). Thus you can

say that improvement of knowledge of human civilization has to follow

the route of myth, theory, formula and principle respectively. Thus

every myth is a principle so long we don't know about any theory,

formula or principle; or every principle is myth if we came to know

some fault in the principle after sufficient ancillary knowledge.

 

Thus predictive astrology, which was based on primitive myth (which

was actually having the status of principle in primitive age) about

universe, sun, moon etc.; can not be pushed against our latest level

of knowledge based on physical principles. Thus when it was an

accepted principle (now it is myth) in Primitive age that Earth is

stationary and Sun is nearer then Moon, Constellations are nearer

then Mercury and so on; and all astrological principles were

formulated around this the then principle. Then how you can push

those astrological principles (now myth) in present era when we know

that Earth is rotating around the Sun, Sun is far away then Moon,

Const. are not even in our galaxy and so on. Thus every astrological

principle is now baseless but surviving due to weak self-confidence

of human-being, business associated with astrology and due to

advertisement associated with business, psychological correctness of

any prediction and so on. But how a wave against astrology can

survive when there is no involvement of business which reduces

advertisement campaign (like this forum). Thus so long humans with

weak self confidence and businessman astrologer will be their on the

Earth no body can save those humans from exploitation by the

astrologers. Only education and knowledge can save them from being

cheated. Hence this forum is discussing logically any point relating

to astrology and trying to inform about the hollow foundation of

astrology, which I could find after sparing 35-40 years. Thus I am

not concerned with any result either in favour or against astrology

or any personal experience. Because some one may have positive views

but without any logical answer and some one may have opposite views

but again without any logical answer for their stand. Hence nothing

can be concluded. But I am concerned with the basic principles ie.

Lordship, aspect, friendship, exalted, rahu ketu and so on. (You can

also read a file " Astrology a science or myth " lying in file section,

which is the building block of predictive astrology. Thus if initial

information on which whole structure of principles was erected is

wrong then how end product may be right?

 

Thus your opinion >>>>>>>>>Anyhow, in my opinion, everything is in

the natal chart. The proper interpretation depends on the skill of

the practitioner.<<<<<<< is not correct because natal chart may

depict the picture of celestial position of the sky (which is

astronomy and not astrology) but for concluding any result you have

to rely on basic principles and result as mentioned by the earlier

astrologers in various books. So where is the question of

interpretation, when principle is well defined, and combination

alongwith result is also well mentioned, without any suggestion of

interpretation? Then how you can say that result is based on skill of

practitioner.

 

Regarding >>>>>>>> I hope to be able to interpret future events by

becoming more adept in astrology.<<<<<<<< I can assure you that you

or any one will never be able to forecast any thing about the life of

an individual based on any sort of principles or any other system. At

the most you can cheat others by claiming that your are a good

astrologer and can forecast any thing and this can be achieved by any

forecast which may convince the client psychologically. But remember

since the birth of astrology there is not a single I repeat not a

single astrologer in any country, who can forecast any thing adopting

any principle, except some flukes or intuition (which has noting to

do with astrology).

 

I will like to have your logical views and you can also invite your

personal / net friends to this forum. By the way can you give a

little introduction about yourself to have a proper image before

writing?

Thanks

Yours truly,

Sanat

Dear Mr.Sanat Kumar,

I joined this forum just now since I received an invitation email from

you. It appeared to me from the email and from the title of the forum

that the goal of this forum was to study astrology with an

unprejudiced mind and gather viewpoints as to whether it is or is not

scientific. After reading your reply (below), I am sorry that I was

wrong in my assumptions about this forum. I can see that you have a

categorical view that astrology is not science. This is a prejudicial

view, and coming from the forum founder, does not mean well for

members who might have differing views.

 

Thanks for the invitation anyway.

 

Regards,

Rangarajan

Dear Rangarajan ji,I have been studying different techniques used by astrologers for past 7 years. If you have any arguments which suggest astrology works, please share it with the group. I am sure it will be received with open however reasoning mind.

Resp. Rangarajan ji,

Namaskar,

Thanks for your first reaction and I am forwarding our interaction on

your following point

 

>>>>>>>>. I can see that you have a categorical view that astrology

is not science.<<<<<

 

I have again gone through my earlier msg to econ and I don't find any

sentence like " Astrology is not science " . I am again quoting some

point from that msg.

 

>>>>>>>>Thus you can say that improvement of knowledge of human

civilization has to follow the route of myth, theory, formula and

principle respectively. Thus every myth is a principle so long we

don't know about any theory, formula or principle; or every principle

is myth if we came to know some fault in the principle after

sufficient ancillary knowledge. <<<<<<<

 

Thus our primitive knowledge was science with reference to the then

period. So where I am saying that it is not science. Scientific

concept of today may change tomorrow. Thus if presumption of

scientist that there are UFOs or Mars may have life or some planet in

Universe may have life and so on; is today's science (uncontroversial

findings); And we have to proceed with this concept, whether it may

be right or wrong in future. Thus if today, we are worried with extra-

territorial advanced life, then there is no harm if primitive sages

were thinking that Sun, moon etc. are deities because they can move

like any living being. If they are deities then they may have some

mutual relation like friendship, aspect, lordship etc.. Thus it was

the initial stage for knowing about the Universe. We are still in the

process of knowing the Universe. Thus if astronomy (the then

astrology) has developed to modern astronomy then how root of this

journey may not be science. It is like, glider of Right brothers was

as good as science though it is not used like Boeing. It makes no

difference. Difference will generate when present generation of Right

brothers may try to push their glider against Boeing and they may not

try to understand that their concept may be right in early twenties

but it is not so now. Likewise principle of predictive astrology may

be right and I again quote the portion

 

>>>>>>>> Thus predictive astrology, which was based on primitive myth

(which was actually having the status of principle in primitive age)

about universe, sun, moon etc.; can not be pushed against our latest

level of knowledge based on physical principles. Thus when it was an

accepted principle (now it is myth) in Primitive age that Earth is

stationary and Sun is nearer then Moon, Constellations are nearer

then Mercury and so on; and all astrological principles were

formulated around this the then principle.<<<<<<<<<

 

But now we know about Solar system can check any principle with many

data, then how it (primitive knowledge) can be termed as science with

reference to present time, without proper discussion, exchange of

views, experiment, logical approach to every thing and so on. In view

of this we have to analyze every principle to know as to how it was

formulated, what was the level of knowledge with our sages at that

time, whether procedure adopted and base of knowledge may be accepted

with modern knowledge and so on.

 

You may have seen that many forums are busy in teaching astrology and

anyhow supporting primitive myth against modern science (science is

not something extra territorial, which has been thrown by some aliens

on human civilization but it is accumulation of knowledge, and

comprises of myth (like mars has life etc. without any logical

proof), principles (can be checked), theories (like big bang) which

can be followed till we found some missing link………..), without

knowing that our sages were more open to knowledge (that's why they

say Vasudevam kutumbkam) and they accepted the concept of sign, surya

siddhant etc. from Greek. But we are expert in branding any thing

as " Made in India " , so long it is beneficial for some business

consideration (it is modern concept and never adopted by our sages)

 

This forum is only discussing the principle with scientific approach,

without any business or challenge to astrology or pushing of

astrology for the benefit of cheaters. So long my view is concerned,

I will like to say that don't go with my stand, forget my stand,

which I formed after studying, analyzing, development of predictive

astrological software, writing of books and what not during last 35-

40 years. But what is the harm in discussing any principle / point of

astrology. So far members have raised / discussed 17 points, which

have been listed in various SOA________ files (lying in file

section). From these files you will find that I am incorporating

every point or stand of members including my stand too. Your stand

will also be included in the concerning files. Thus both sides are

being included in these files and not a single argument is being

thrown in the pile of msgs. So how you can conclude that I am only

pushing my views and formed a view or so. If any astrologer is not

well versed to support his stand then it is not my fault. I am open

to all and I am regularly inviting astrologers to come forward and

may teach us with their stand. You can, and I will say you must and

every member of the forum may invite their astrologer friends to have

a open exchange of views. And everyone is free to enter in the forum

without any permission from the moderator. So how you can conclude

that I have formed a view, whereas almost all forums screen every msg

and they censure any msg which is not in their tune. Whereas in this

forum every one is free to express his views.

 

Now you can go through form various SOA_______ files and " astrology a

science or myth " ; and may pickup any point from these files or can

open any new point, on which you may like to express your views, as

every point is open and remain open for every one. And members have

to form their views either in favour or against; it is up to them.

 

I am waiting for your some concrete reasoning on any point and hope

to have a vibrant academic discussion.

 

Thanks,

 

 

Sanat

 

PS :

Silent members may please come forward either to invite your friends

for pushing their stand or may express their views on any point. Do

not afraid, because only by interaction you will be able to improve

your stand and we will also be able to know your valuable views.

Because you can serve the society by interaction not with silently

reading the msg. Even if you are novice, you can come forward because

you novice will hold the torch of knowledge in the future to guide

the innocents.

 

econ, Ms. Dipika, Krishnamurthy (reg Diabetes), Pradeep (Hyd) may

please offer your comments to continue our interaction.
