Is Astrology a science? "No, it is a super science" says Mr. Astrologer. It is, infact the dogmatic, rigid and ritualistic approach of the practitioners of astrology, which resulted in creating doubts in the minds of the people about its efficacy. Astrology, no doubt, will remain an enigma if the attitude of the traditional astrologers will continue to be rigid and their minds closed to the realities of life. We need to learn to discriminate. It is shocking to say that even the intellectual giants like Carl Jung, Sepharial, Alan leo, Walter Gibson, William J T.Tucker, C.E.O.Carter and H S Green Who knew that "Whatever is born or done this moment of time has the qualities of this moment of time", also showed as if they suffered from some sort of intellectual void during their approach to Astrology . A moment can't be defined as an hour or even a few minutes. How then the rashi chart or even the Navamsha chart (as studied and analysed by vedic Astrologers) can delineate the nativity of a person. Neither the planetary positions nor the aspects, nor the yogas change and even the varga charts may remain the same. And the less we say , the better it is , about the Western Astrology which primarily depends upon the theory of Aspects and Progression. No two human beings are alike in the universe. Each horoscope, therefore, has to be unique. Our ancient seers used to construct and analyze charts to the accuracy of a few seconds of the ascendant. Let us try to match their caliber to the best of our ability and use this sacred knowledge to provide benefits to the society at large. To me Astrology is, at bottom, a microscopic criticism of all facets of life under the influence of celestial bodies. It is difficult for any learned man to deny the influence of celestial bodies on life on Earth. It is a different matter how to analyze this influence and apply it to predictive Astrology. People appose things because they are ignorant of them. Laws of science are universal. We do not say American or Indian Laws of Motion. However in astrology no body agrees on anything. It is time, friends, to come to an agreement, at least in respect of its elemental principles. There are so many misunderstandings that if a radical change is not made, the fundamental role of astrology will be seriously limited. My approach may not be an end itself. However I am making an effort in my books under the Title "True Astrology" to present before the readers how to approach the subject of Astrology in a scientific way. The reader's dedication and devotion and the open-mindedness approach will bring rewards. However, let us not forget that our success in prediction is largely dependant on the accuracy of the software, which we use for the calculation of planetary and cuspal positions and also the accuracy of the birth data, which more often than not is questionable. The book True Astrology is written with the intention to prepare the genuine readers of the sacred science of Astrology to comprehend with ease the Nakshatras And Cuspal Interlink Theories.
