Astrology a science or myth

[Guest guest]

Resp Mark Ji,

 

First of all I will like to welcome you in our forum and hope you

will enjoy interaction with the members.

 

Thanks for your reply. (I am also including your msg alongwith my

reply so that members may pickup the link)

 

I am studying astrology since last +35 years and also studied many

horoscopes. Thus either I may be right or wrong it is actually a

psychological affect by which we try to see any event as is being

supported by astrology. Thus if I say that you have achieved a lot

then you will immediately (if you have faith on astrology) scan your

achievement and think that astrology is correct. If I say that you

may achieve much more but your skill was not recognized then again

you will scan your failures thus every predictive or postmortem

prediction appears to be correct.

 

If you or your client may come out from psychological setup then it

is essential that same principle must provide same result. Thus can

you provide a single predictive principle which may be right. And how

a principle can be right which was based on myth that Earth is

stationary, Sun is nearer then Moon and so on. As astrologer

(including you) are not aware as to how all sort of predictive

principles were formulated then what can be done. Because every

astrologer has been programmed to claim that astrology is science or

astrology is vedic. They use these two sentences just to exploit

their clients. I am asking since last 5 years (after publishing my

book) as to how principles were formulated. But except reader of my

book not a single astrologer is able to answer. And until unless you

know as to how these principals were formulated till then there is no

question that any astrologer may come out from the myth.

 

In this situation you have either to provide answer on various

questions or you may ask your friends, astrologer, forum or may read

scripture or in last may read my book for answer.

 

So far affect of Moon on you is concerned, I will say that it is not

more than a phobia and psychological affect as some times some

incident may randomly match with the position of the Moon. Then it

dos't mean that Moon has selected your head for the affect. Because

Moon is only a matter which has only gravity and magnetism. Both

these affect are nil so far Earth is concerned. And full moon has

nothing to do with any affect as it is only light of the Sun, which

is not increasing the affect to the Moon except light. Moon may be

near to the Earth on any other day hence its nearness is also

irrelevant. As there is no change in the matter of the Moon either it

is full or less moon.

 

So please answer the questions instead of sweeping remarks. I request

you to read SOA_____files in the file section, so that you may be

aware with the answers of members on many points.

 

Remember nothing is personal and it is only academic discussion.

 

Thanks

 

Yours truly,

Dear Jain: It doesn't sound like you've ever really experienced your

own chart?

I think there is always a danger in only having one's chart read by

others.

 

It's meant to be experienced for oneself.

 

When I came to know my own chart, it became obvious that astrology

was very real

and even scientific.

 

We say scientific to mean that it is real and verifiable.

 

When I came to understand myself through all the rules and principles

of Jyotish, I found

it was very real and true to my life.

 

Now, 22 years later and having done the charts of over 7000 other

people too I can say

that all these people's charts fit them as well.

 

When I do people's charts I try and help them to experience there own

chart for themselves.

 

Any knowledge or philosophy or system of understanding that can

repeatably explain

why people are the way they are is therefore extremely real.

 

There are of course many problems also in the field of astrology.

 

Many people don't do it very well.

 

Also, predictions are relied upon too much in my analysis and I've

heard of predictions

that so-called world class Jyotishees have made that didn't turn out

to be true.

 

But, in my own experience I've learned that the vimostari dasa system

and the transits

principle both do predict extremely precisely many many things for me.

 

For example, for years, every New Moon I'd find myself feeling

complicated and slightly

upset emotionally. This happened every month, whether I remembered

to look at the Jyotish transits or not.

 

This showed me very scientifically, that this idea about the transits

was very real for me.

 

As a result I learned to treat New Moon's differently. I stopped

planning important events

around these times and as a result felt better and better.

 

Many, many, many other instances of the transits being true to life

for me has easily

convinced me of it's truth.

 

When you look at your birth chart, does it not feel like you?

Has no one ever helped you discover how your chart fits you?

 

If you'd like some help knowing your chart better, feel free to send

me your date of birth

information and maybe I can help.

 

take care

 

Sincerely,
