So you don't believe in astrology ?
So you don’t believe in astrology. Many people like you and me reject some theories, or only partially believe in them. There can be two reasons for disbelief; one comes after reasoning and observation, like all empirical sciences, and the other from lack of knowledge or incapacity of the human mind to grasp the subject matter of the theory. Sometimes a belief is also determined by a collective behaviour of a generation. It is not that we are right and the earlier generations were wrong, but it is the conditioning that is created by a particular generation that makes a certain belief a norm of the society.Astrology is one such subject where people always differ in their beliefs and opinions. If your disbelief in Astrology is purely based on lack of knowledge, or general opinion, I will try to explain it scientifically and write in more detail in my next post. Consider this as an introduction.
Astrology has several school of thoughts; the most important are the Western Astrology based on the Sun, and the Indian Astrology based on the Moon. This is the reason why the Western calendar is based on the Sun and the Eastern on the Moon. Out of several contributions India made to the world in the fields of philosophy, mathematics, literature and science, Astrology is the biggest. It is worth mentioning that the Indian rishis (saints) discovered facts about the universe and the solar system, which NASA and other space agencies have only now recently discovered.
Astrology to our belief is just limited to the science of predicting future or a person’s characterstics, which is not completely true. Instead, astrology is concerned with the movement of planets in the solar system and its gravitational impact on other planets and moons. When I first learnt about astrology, I too considered it as a superstition and rejected it prima facie. But only after doing some research, did I get some understanding of it.
Indian astrology is all about the planet’s gravity and its impact on the Earth. Do you know what causes high tides and low tides in the sea? It is caused by the moon coming closer or going further away from the Earth during its orbit. You agree with it right ?? You must!! It was in your school books. So we can conclude that the Moon can impact the Earth’s ecosystem through gravitational force.
We all know that the sea water contains salt, and the human body constitutes of 70% water. This follows that if the Moon can bring changes in ocean waves, it can also bring changes in our body and mind. According to Astrology, it is the Moon which governs our mind and thought process. The time, latitude and longitude of the location at which a person is born determines the angle of the Moon and its impact on him. Unlike Western Astrology which is based on the Sun and divides the population in 12 groups (i.e. 12 Sun Signs), Indian Astrology defines infinite possibilities. Two persons born on the same time can differ in every respect because of different birth locations. It also considers the fact that the Moon and the planets are always moving and can have different impacts on people born at the same time.
Do you know the origin of the word ‘Lunatic’? Every word added to our language has a history or a reason behind it. The term ‘Lunatic’ is associated with lunar (moon) movements and gravity. Research has proved that people’s (especially lunatics’) behaviour changes during a full moon and a no moon day.
Just like the Moon, other planets also impact life on earth. Scientists have also started believing this. It is the combination of all the planets’ gravity that impact our body and mind, and governs our action and thought processes. It is this planetery movement, that makes someone a poet, an artist, or a musician. Science cannot answer why one is more intelligent than the other, but Astrology can explain it.
Indian Astrology is about planets and its impact on human beings. It doesn’t matter if people start worshipping Venus considering it as a Demi-God, or forecasting the future. Infact, Astrology does not even have any association with religion.
To understand it, we must try to understand it scientifically and not as a superstition.
www.amaltas.org is the best. Thank your for this article. I enjoyed it very much.

This is a good article, but it is telling me what i already know, .... it would be great if you put some links to the 'scientific research' you have found in regards to this topic.
I am very interested in how the planets etc influence the individual etc but i am more so interested in what science is saying.
i seem to be able to find articles based purely on science or purely on the occult. i really want something that combines the both, is unbiased and has references.
I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found www.amaltas.org to be greatly interesting. I will be coming back to www.amaltas.org for more information.
The author of www.amaltas.org has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: No matter what the subject, there will always be a dummies book. Thanks for the info.
"It is worth mentioning that the Indian rishis (saints) discovered facts about the universe and the solar system, which NASA and other space agencies have only now recently discovered."
- What exactly would be interesting.
"Research has proved that people’s (especially lunatics’) behaviour changes during a full moon and a no moon day."
- What research?...you keep saying research this and research that...your article can be more convincing if you actually provided a glimpse into this research.
"Just like the Moon, other planets also impact life on earth. Scientists have also started believing this"
- How do other planets impact life on earth? And what Scientists.
Your article, and I beg you to consider constructive criticism, has not provided any scientific evidence. Your claim of having conducted research is in no way shown in this article.
To the poor souls subjected to these beliefs and its adverse affects on your life...push it away from your mind...think positive!....and think of what it is that you truly desire and want in life...and you will be happy.
Everything else is just chance. Sickness and despair arise from time to time and you can not avoid it. But positive thought will get you through it!
Peace
It is worth mentioning that the Indian rishis (saints) discovered facts about the universe and the solar system, which NASA and other space agencies have only now recently discovered.
Dude please cite the source of where you got this information from ???
I am dying to know !!!!!!
We all know that the sea water contains salt, and the human body constitutes of 70% water. This follows that if the Moon can bring changes in ocean waves, it can also bring changes in our body and mind
Dude did you ever read or see anything tht the moon does to a pond ???
so do you just assume tht moon affects water on earth everywhere and in every form???
According to Astrology, it is the Moon which governs our mind and thought process
Dude so you mean the brain contains enough water in order for the moon to control it ???
DO you mean humans are like androids and moon has the remote controller ???
It is the combination of all the planets’ gravity that impact our body and mind, and governs our action and thought processes.
Dude decide it moon or all planets ???
didnt see you mention SUN anywhere its the biggest thing in the solar system !!!!!
OK dude science has some facts or some proof to support a theory your article however didnt have any of those all you had was claims thts all i could find !!!!
Will be more than happy to discuss what you have to say about it
tel me on logic behind your believes.....I can tel you all teh logic's behind what you believe..there is a logic behind every thing......BE a man,...
Hi all !\r
\r
I came across Mr. Sanat Kumar Jain the writer of the world famous book "Astrology a science or myth". \r
This book has been a shaker to the practicing astrologers. One can grab a copy and decide himself.\r
Just in major search engines type the name & or the name of the book.\r
\r
Well I am a practising Vaastu Consultant and had solved peoples problem by applying it. That's why I had mentioned that the layout of your house is the horoscope of the whole family.\r
\r
Thanks,
Astrology is a science with different approaches.\r
I am a firm believer of "Vaastu Shastra" and is of the opinion that the layout of your house is very similar to a horoscope ??\r
DISCUSS !!!
just i can say .. person who doesn't have faith on himself , will believe on horoscope....\r

I must say you have provided very basic and easy to understand knowledge of this subject. I am sort of new to this astrology concept of things and a lot of it has to do with knowledge. Even though I try my best to make people understand why I believe in the reasoning behind human behavior and the stars, It still seem to be a bunch of crape to other who lack knowledge of this subject. Your info really helps in polishing my general knowledge of things…. I don’t believe in the telling of the future but I do believe in the similarities amongst Zodiac Signs….

Very well put!! We're simply part of the universe at whole and we'd be mighty arrogant and quite ignorant if we were to assume that the planets exert absolutely no influence, considering their remarkable energy and gravity. I believe in astrology, have met Susan Miller of AstrologyZone and have read all of the Linda Goodman books! It has quite literally changed my life because now I have self-awareness and a greater understanding and tolerance for others.\r

here is an other bull crap shit head...talking some shit....and you guys seriously listn to this come on man...its all probability and science...\r
\r
Every thing is business and probability. The whole concept of religion is a business...it was invented to keep the people at check. In the olden days there were no TV/telephone etc., for mass communication and so they invested what is called a god and if you dont believe in him bad thingd happen....I cant explain the whole stuff now...but if interested...give me an email:kishorebiotech@gmail.com
There is a difference between astrology and astrologer. You visit 10 different doctors, and there is a possibility that each of them diagnose the illness differently and may eventually ruin your health. You cannot blame medical science for it, but blame the doctor who do not have perfect medical science knowledge.\r
Same applies to other science, you give your software project to 10 different software engineers, each with different level of expereinces, and majority of them might end up creating a software with wrong implementation and lot of bugs, and then you will say, Software engineering is all bullshit, and use the same above 2 points as reasoning.\r
Science, Religion, Knowledge cannot be assessed for its truth by its followers or preachers. If you do you are misguiding yourself, and satisfying your ego by putting these bullshit comments.
Astrology is fake. Since we are talking "scientifically," we'll do a simple experiment. \r
\r
1. Visit 10 different astrologers and ask for their predictions.\r
2. Compare their predictions. \r
\r
You will find that every one of them will give you different bullshit answers. How do you tell which one of them is telling the truth, the answer, no one. Basically it's randomness, some people believe this random predictions are real and some will say they are just scamming the poor people out of so much money. \r
\r
What do you get when you add bullshit to bullshit, ya that's right bullshit, that's what you have posted here you stupid uneducated bloouger.

Astrology is the study and mapping of celestial planetary bodies on a given date,time and place for the purpose of\r
determining their influence upon human events.Once the positions of the Moon,Sun,and the planets has been determined the cosmic forces emanating from these celestial bodies\r
can be correlated and a Horoscope can then be drawn and interpreted for an individual.The individual is identified by their astrology birth chart and their astrological sign of the zodiac constellations\r

All these things are rubbish. No one can forecast anything. I believe in astrology but I do not believe in its predictions. The things that are going to happen in our life will happen. Just like you cannot avoid tides, rains etc. neither can we predict them, the planetary movement has some impact on our lives, and its unavoidable.\r
Don't believe in all these, have faith in God, and follow your heart. All the best :)
