Learning About Astrology

It was a hard struggle learning about astrology for me. I want to make it easy for you to learn astrology.

Astrology

What exactly is astrology?

The stars and planets have always inspired a sense of wonder. Many cultures look skyward and see the face of the divine there. There’s a cosmic dance on the grand scale, and one on the intimate scale, going on for each of us. Astrology is the study of patterns and relationships of planets in motion, our birth chart, synastry with others, the make-up of elements and using that knowledge as a tool to find meaning.

Is Astrology a Science?

A major part of Astrology is using the movements (transits) and relationships (aspects) of the planets to forecast what will be happening in our lives. Together with your Astrology birth chart, these astrological events can help us better understand current universal opportunities. Learn more about the planets in Astrology and how they affect YOU!

Astrology Is a pseudoscience. Metaphysics, the study of that which is beyond the physical, is what astrology is about. It is a very old religion that’s been around for thousands of years. Ancient cultures believed that the stars and planets had power over life on Earth. Knowing this, they mapped out the stars in order to make predictions about people’s lives. It was called the “Mother of all Sciences” long before recorded history. At the highest levels of astrology, it is a mastery of its particular science and intuitive arts. It’s similar to other fields that are based on ancient theories of energy patterns, like yoga.

Astrology is an ancient art that extends WAY beyond your personal horoscopes. The movement and positions of celestial bodies can have a profound impact on your love life, work life, and everything in between! Understanding the patterns of the universe gives you the insight you need to navigate life.

Astrology’s premise is that the planetary movements influence the Moments in Time. Since we’re part of the story of the Universe, our moment of birth recorded on the celestial clock is meaningful. The planets continue to move, engaging with the fixed in time energies of our birth chart.

To study astrology is to undertake a fun and rewarding endeavor.

Who invented astrology?

For nearly 3,000 years, people have used astrology to make sense of the world around them. Astrology was not an invented science. It was a way of organizing knowledge about the natural world, one that was based on observations and interpretations of celestial figures (stars, planets, and the moon). For centuries, astrology was used by many people in Europe and Asia to make sense of the world around them.

The ancient Egyptians were big fans of the stars and so were the Mayans. The ancient Greeks believed that the earth was flat, but it wasn’t until 1537 when a German astronomer named Tycho Brahe agreed with the Mayans that the earth was round. This is when the modern concept of astrology started to take shape.

The oldest is horoskopy (hōrôskoē), which was invented by Babylon as an interpretation method for the stars and planets. Horoskopy was later adopted by Greeks, and geometric astrology began to develop during the Renaissance, partly due to the work of Copernicus and Galileo.

Wikipedia quotes:

“There is scattered evidence to suggest that the oldest known astrological references are copies of texts made during this period, particularly in Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia).

Two, from the Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa (compiled in Babylon round 1700 BC) are reported to have been made during the reign of king Sargon of Akkad (2334-2279 BC). Another, showing an early use of electional astrology, is ascribed to the reign of the Sumerian ruler Gudea of Lagash (c. 2144 – 2124 BC). This describes how the gods revealed to him in a dream the constellations that would be most favourable for the planned construction of a temple.

However, controversy attends the question of whether they were genuinely recorded at the time or merely ascribed to ancient rulers by posterity. The oldest undisputed evidence of the use of astrology as an integrated system of knowledge is therefore attributed to the records that emerge from the first dynasty of Mesopotamia (1950-1651 BC).”

Is Astrology Real at all?

Astrology has been scientifically studied and proven to be a form of prediction and interpretation. It’s proven scientific accuracy isn’t the only thing that makes it fascinating. Astrology is fascinating and can help anyone better understand themselves and others, both in life and in business. Astrology is a useful tool for both yourself and others. You can learn more about your personality, your strengths, and your weaknesses with astrology.

Maharsi Parashar says that every planet and star has its own kind of light. The person’s mind is affected by what this energy does. This energy interacts with the mind of the person in a certain way.

Important Astrology predictions that came true:

• Prof. B. V. Raman predicted second world war, the fate of Hilter, Vietnam war, and Indira Gandhi’s assasination, and hundreds of other successful predictions.
• Evangeline Adams predicted the burning of Windsor Hotel, Wall street crash of 1929, and her own death.
• William Lilly predicted the great fire of London.

How do I start learning about astrology?

Learn astrology from a teacher rather than a book. Astrology is meant to be learned from a teacher and many essential aspects of astrology aren’t taught in books. Find a reputable astrology teacher with a lot of experience in both teaching and giving readings.

The best way to learn astrology is to study your own birth chart , and the birth charts of the people in your life. Many charts, especially those of the people closest to you, may not make a lot of sense to you at first, and that’s okay. They will make more sense in time. Just keep reading charts, learning, and observing.

Do not read books on astrology without guidance of an experienced guru. Reading more books can confuse you, as there are many junk astrology books in the market.

What do I need to know about astrology?

Astrology is a system of divination based on the positions of the celestial bodies relative to each other.

What is the study of astrology called?

The study of the universe outside of Earth’s atmosphere is known as astronomy. Astrology tries to understand how those positions, motions and properties affect people.

Why is astrology sometimes wrong?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say, you know that astrology is wrong. But, what does that even mean? What makes it wrong? And why is it wrong? I’d love to look at astrology in a more positive way. We do need to acknowledge the validity of the system, and it’s perfectly legitimate that astrology continues to exist. But, there are some things about astrology that need to be questioned, and that includes its claims of “evidence.”

There is truth in astrology. But, Astrologers can be wrong when their predictions are not based on sound logic and principles of astrology. Astrology follow various systems of predictive astrology. The only system that I found to be most accurate is the KP Astrology system, which is what you will learn in my courses.

When you learn the simplified astrology system from me, you will have a high degree of accuracy in your astrology predictions.

What is the religion of astrology?

Astrology does not belong to any particular religion. It does not worship God in any form. It merely guides one to study the effects of planets as they transit in the sky around the earth. Hindu, Islam, Sikh, Christian, Jews, and Chinese mostly believe in astrology of their own form. It is a system that explain why events are taking place and offers a map to predict the events of the future.

What does astrology have to do with the stars?

Millions of stars in the sky aroud the earth are categorised into 27 star constellations. They are:

1. Aswini
2. Bharani
3. Kritika
4. Rohini
5. Mrigasira
6. Arudra

Indian astrology

The Vedas are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, considered by some Hindus to be the supreme source of knowledge in Hinduism. Vedic astrology is believed to have developed from astronomical and other scientific principles as early as 1500 BCE or earlier. Indian astrology was one of the earliest such traditions and it has been practiced since ancient times. It is popular among all religions and cultures throughout the world, especially in India, where it is known as Surya-Vedic astrology or Chitra- Veda-Yoga-Astrology.

The ancient Indian Vedic scriptures, called the Samhita and Yajurveda, have long been known for their astrological insights. One of the most popular topics in Vedic astrology is the signs of the zodiac. In this article, we will look at five important Indian horoscopes and see how they have influenced the lives of people throughout history.

After studying Jyotish, the ancient science of astrology, I have come to understand that what we see on the planet is only a small part of what is actually happening. Every planet and star has a very specific influence on our lives for good or ill. That means we can make some major changes in our lives by simply being aware of these influences and acting upon them. Just like the stars, we can become a part of the planetary cycle by making certain decisions.

I am here to teach you to learn astrology in a simple and easy manner. I particularly deal with South Indian Charts.

Traditional astrology

Sage Parsasara is believed to be most prominent person to write an indepth treatise on traditional astrology in India. It is believed to be the most authentic astrological treatise amongst the Vedic astrologers in India. Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti married the traditional astrology system with that of western astrology system and developed the KP Astrology system which today is believed to be the most accurate stellar predictive astrology systems in the world. He has helped predict basic personality, combinations of personality, life decisions, business relationshps, and answers questions about relationships accurately.

Aspects in astrology

Planets transit through the stars in the sky in a 360 degree circle around the earth. As they transit, they come at different angles between each other. These are called aspects.

These aspects are the conjunction (0°), sextile (60°), square (90°), trine (120°), and opposition (180°).

Conjuction, square and opposition are considered malefic aspects where the planet is in check to do good or bad by the planet aspecting it.

Sextile and Trine aspects are considered beneficial as the planet aspecting another saccelerates it’s results.

Is astrology a good career?

Astrology is an excellent career choice for me. I love astrology career and moved into it after I crossed 50 years of age. I earn by doing what I love doing, solving problems for people. Astrology is a great problem solving tool.

Learning About Astrology Books

Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti has written six books on KP Astrology called the KP Reader. Three of these books are with his elder son. Three volumes are with his second son. Good luck to you for getting them from them. They each have published several books and republished several sections of KP Reader Volumes 1 to 6 in various books of their own.

Sage Parasa has written a lovely treatise on Vedic astrology in Sanskrit. The book has been ably translated into English by Prof. Santhanam. You can buy the two volumne book from Amazon. Giri Traders in Chennai has also published another English translation. You can buy it from online.

Learning About Astrology Houses

House

A birth chart is divided into twelve sections referred to as houses.

Indian astrology is earth-centric. Zodiac is a circular belt and all planets seem to be moving on this belt. If this zodiac is divided into twelve equal parts, each part is known as a zodiac sign. These twelve zodiac signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Similarly, when this zodiac is divided into twenty-seven equal parts, each part is called a Nakshatra. We will discuss about Nakshatras at length later in this series.

The Astrology Chart also divides into 12 houses and has a house number coinciding with it.

Time of Birth

If you’re planning on making a birth chart for someone, make sure to find out their time of birth. This will impact the position of the houses on their chart and allow you to provide a more accurate reading. Even a minute or two variation in birth time can vary the results.

I strongly suggest that you learn to predict using horary charts rather than birth charts.

What is a birth chart in astrology?

At the time of birth, place of birth and date of birth, planets and zodiacs will be posited at certain trignometric angles. Birth Chart depicts the exact position of the planets and signs. Calculating the correct position of the planets and rasis require an ephemeris or ayanamsa. I follow the KP ayanamsa, which I have found to be most accurate.

How is your birth chart determined?

Fortunately, today your birth chart can be made using a computer software or an online system. You do not struggle like in the past to prepare birth charts.

How important is birth time in astrology?

In my opinion, birth time is not important. It is useful to have birth time. Horary charts based on a number from 1-249 for each question is the most accurate method of prediction.

How accurate does your birth time need to be for astrology?

Your birth time needs to be absolutely accurate. Even one or two minutes variation will alter your prediction. Case in point: Twins.

How does birth time affect horoscope?

Your entire life’s predictions depend on the accuracy of your time of birth. It is nearly impossible in a birthing room for the doctors and the midwives and nurses to note down the accurate time of birth. Hence, I advise you to work with horary charts.

Can you do a birth chart without time?

No. It is not possible to do a birth chart without time.

What do you do if you don’t know your time of birth?

If you don’t know your time of birth, that is perfectly fine. You can use horary charts where the birth of your question in your mind is used as the birth time for that particular time and prediction is provided.

Does your birth time affect your moon sign?

Low probability. Moon transits in a sign for over two days. So, if you know your date and approximate time, you can still find your moon sign in all probabilities unless Moon was in transition from one sign to another.

How do I figure out my natal chart?

You will need:

• Birth time
• Place of birth
• Date of birth

You can use any free online software to prepare your natal chart. Remember that your birth time has to be accurate to get precise results.

Planets

9 planets and their characteristics in astrology

All planets revolve around SUN, and including our planet EARTH which is not included in the list, as we are to examine the other planetary influences on the earth. The MOON is a satellite of Earth. They are placed in the space as noted below:-

Sun

Mercury

Venus

Moon

Mars

Jupiter

Saturn

Uranus

Neptune

Pluto

Rahu and Ketu are magnetic paths that govern the North and South pole of the Sun.

Our earth is in a comfortable distance from the SUN, and therefore life exists on earth and these constitute the Solar family..

The stars are several million miles away from the Solar family and they are also moving at a terrific speed but because they are several crores of miles away from us their motion is not felt by us.

Light passes in space at a speed of 1,86,000 miles per second. At this rate of speed, light rays from SUN takes about 9 minutes 30 second to reach the earth. Imagine how much the light will travel in an hour, in a day, in a month and in a year. And the light rays from the Star group KARTIKA, takes about 32 years to reach our earth. And these planets act as communication satellites between the Earth and the stars. In turn, these planets assume the characters of these stars and each planet from SUN to KETU, have claim over these stars at the rate of 3 stars for each.

In Simplified KP Astrology, we will only consider the following planets:
