This is a question that I am often asked. Is there any truth behind Astrology or is it all bunkum? The answer is not so simple however.
Vedic Astrology, popularly known as Jyotish, is a traditional system that originated in ancient India and is based on the Vedas, which are considered sacred texts. It involves the interpretation of planetary positions, aspects, and other factors, which requires intuition and a deep understanding of symbolism. This is further customised based on the unique birth chart of an individual.
The casting or the drawing of an individual’s Vedic birth chart involves precise mathematical calculations to arrive at the accurate positions of planets, houses, and other astrological factors.
While the calculations are based on mathematical precision, the interpretation involves an understanding of symbolism and intuition, making Vedic Astrology a unique blend of mathematical calculations, empirical observations, intuitive interpretation, and cultural/spiritual context.
While the mathematical calculations involved can be considered scientific and objective in nature, the key lies in the interpretation and symbolism which can make the difference.
In the hands of the right astrologer, you can aspire to channel the cosmic energies in your favour, giving you a roadmap to a richer and fulfilling life while in the wrong hands, it could be just that … a load of bunkum
