years or decades (or even longer) to materialise. If one believes in the law of
cause and effect, then the ambience of one's birth and the subsequent
opportunities or their lack cannot be a matter of mere chance. This takes us
to a belief in birth and rebirth. Karmas done in one birth must manifest
sometime in a later birth.
The past karmas produce limitations for us because they yield certain results,
which influence our future karmas. We do have a free will, but within the
limitations prescribed by the results of our past actions. Karmas in fact
manufacture destiny.
An astrologer can point out which of the results from the past karmas can be
overcome, and which cannot be overcome and, therefore, have to be
suffered. A karma done is like a missile fired; it may or may not be
neutralised by a counter-missile, depending upon the relative strength of the
two.
Interlinked Destinies
Different individuals who are linked to each other in one way or the other
show distinct similarities in their horoscopic charts. An event which is visible
in the horoscope of a child can also be seen in the horoscopes of his parents
as well as siblings. People who come in closer contact in mutual
relationships or business partnerships show striking similarities in their
charts at appropriate periods. Just as particles of similar densities sink to a
similar extent on centrifugation, so also people who have similar pursuits
tend to get grouped together.
only. Its approach became more and more rigid. Until recently, many
astrologers have been using only limited methods to make only a limited
range of predictions.
Lately, however, highly educated people have started studying astrology
giving it a modern and scientific look. This sacred subject is now taught in
institutions like any other modern science. No longer is astrological study
subject to limitations of method and approach. A highly effective composite
approach for astrological predictions has been thus revived. Any given event
is confirmed in a horoscopic chart by using a host of available techniques,
like the use of both the Parashari and the Jaimini systems, the application of
various dashas and the use of several divisional charts and of Ashtakavarga.
Besides, the same event is often studied in the charts of those closely related
to or associated with the native. This increases the success of predictions
and proves the superiority of astrology as a scientific discipline.
In the chapters that follow, an earnest attempt will be made to explain some
of the elements of this sacred science.
