FAQ
Answered by Astro Solutions.
1. What Is Astrology?
According to the science of astrology, planets represent certain energies, and, in fact, do emit certain
magnetic and electric fields which influence the lives of human beings.
The horoscope is a map of the heavens at the time and place of birth which shows the positions of the
planets and their relation to the new born child. Astrology is the science, which studies the combined
influences of these stellar bodies on the human being.
In astrological language, the planets indicate:
1. The manner in which activities were performed in previous lives
2. The manner in which they are thus likely to be performed in the present life.
The "houses" of the chart indicate specific areas in life in which actions will be performed, and which will be strong
or weak depending on the nature and situation of planets that influence them.
2. What is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic astrology (called "Jyotish", or the science of light) comes to us from India since times pre-dating
the Christian era. It was not experimentally contrived, but rather perceived through enlightened vision by the
ancient sage Parasara, who is considered the original author of the Vedic texts.
Vedic astrology assumes the law of karma, which states that a human being lives and
works within certain parameters created by actions performed in prior lifetimes. Thus it is
generally regarded as predictive in nature -- it can show when the results of such prior
actions will come to fruition in the present life.
It also puts emphasis on the spiritual development of the individual and how one's quality of life can
improve through practice of better living and higher thought.
People in western countries have recently become interested in Vedic astrology, since collective trends toward
advancement in consciousness now requires different tools with which to give definition to the challenges of life.
Given that people of all cultures are at a crossroads in their collective spiritual development, Vedic astrology is
rapidly becoming known as a very effective tool in giving clarity to resolving the dilemmas of life.
3. How does it work?
We are created by nature and ruled by nature, so the natural forces have to impel and compel our thinking and
working. The material body takes order from the cosmic mind.
4. Is Jyotish a religion, Dharma. What is it?
Jyotish /Astrology is not a Dharma or religion. Also it is not a philosophy .
Vedic Astrology is a natural science. The beauty of Vedic Astrology is it never claimed or denied the
existence of God.
5. What does "Vedic" Mean?
"Vedic", comes from the word "Veda" in Sanskrit, which means knowledge, in a very broad context.
Vedic knowledge embodies every area of human experience. Thus not only spiritual, but medical, political,
technical, cultural, and astrological areas of study were to be found in the Sanskrit Vedic writings.
Although in modern times Vedic culture is most closely followed in India, historical writings in the Vedic scriptures
record an intellectually and spiritually advanced culture going back in human society to over 5,000 years ago.
Vedic culture was first introduced in western countries in the 1930's through Swami Vivekananda and later by
some of his followers. The true wisdom of the Vedas, however, was more thoroughly implanted by Sri
Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, who rendered volumes of English translations of Vedic scriptures,
all with poignant relevance to minds and spiritual needs of Western persons.
6. How can it help me?
It educates you about your present, prepares you for the future and alerts you to the right opportunity. So when
the right opportunity comes, you will be able to grab it with both hands. In difficult times, it will create a hedge
against the reality of life.
7. Why is my date, time and place of birth important?
At the date and time of birth, you absorbed certain degrees and certain proportions of cosmic energy. That energy
creates the ups and downs in your life.
8. What's the proof that planets influence us?
Your body consists of 75% water just as the ocean is. The ocean is influenced by the moon which causes high
tides. If the moon can affect such a large body of water then we cannot ignore the moon's along with
other celestial bodies' power on us. If we get Vitamin D from the sun, we can't filter out the other elements that
are also absorbed. If we throw a ball up in the air and then it falls back down, we call that force gravity. Yet, we
cannot see it. The same truth applies when magnetic forces bombard our bodies' atoms and influence our thinking
and actions. That is the reason material achievement doesn't bring internal peace. Your believing or not is not
going to stop the celestial bodies from influencing you. The more you ignore, the more troubles are invited into
your life.
9. If I use Vedic Astrology, people may call me superstitious, fatalistic, or weak.
Actually you are more smart and wise. You accept the existence of nature and you use all natural resources to
make your life more beneficial.
10. If I don't use it, what would I loose?
If somebody puts you in a very dark room and asks you to find the door, you may find it but after a lot of struggle
and hard work. Vedic Astrology will work as a flashlight in your hand. So the road of life is illuminated.
11. If it is so good, why doesn't everyone use it?
At the grocery store they have gourmet bread and ordinary bread. Not everyone will buy the best-baked bread.
Some want to work smart and some hard.
12. Why should I go to an Astrologer and not a Psychic?
Psychics' readings are based on their mood and feelings. Vedic Astrologers are using natural science. It has a
more accurate and predictive ability without bias or the influence of the environment.
13. How do I know that you are the best available astrologer?
