 At the same time, many individuals turn to astrology for guidance viewing it as a helpful life companion giving them comfort. Some prominent figures even seek astrological counsel discreetly.

I, too, was once skeptical, coming from an engineering background working alongside researchers and medical professionals. I now strongly believe astrology is a science that needs deeper exploration and understanding using modern scientific tools.

Astrology is as good as an Astrologer

Yes, this is true. I had been to many astrologers, my experiences were varied. In most of my visits, I was not convinced enough until I found who predicted events in my past and then proceeded to future predictions.

Let me share an example of a famous Hindu astrologer of recent times, Dr. BV Raman. He became well-known because he made many accurate predictions. Even The New York Times wrote about his death, saying he predicted things like World War II, the fates of important leaders, Indian independence, and other major events through his articles in The Astrological Magazine. https://www.nytimes.com/  (for specific source- Click here)

What attracted me to Astrology despite being a skeptic?

I've always been skeptical about astrology as I couldn't find my inner scientific temperament supporting it. I had no belief & confidence in any kind of astrology.

I had an astonishing experience with a Vedic Astrologer whom I never met in person. He provided consultancy over the phone and on WhatsApp. He accurately predicted my past, predicted the faulty electronics items, dirty water placed in a specific location in my house, predicted what my grandfather did in the past, etc. The astrologer also predicted my ongoing problems, and when they might get better, and suggested remedies I could do to help myself.

This experience instilled confidence and curiosity in Vedic Astrology. It changed my life; it opened a divine world for me. Nowadays, I offer free Vedic Astrology consultations to assist people dealing with issues or looking for guidance. (Click Here for Astrological Guidance)

The Scientific View

-       The scientific viewpoint on astrology

Modern science considers astrology as pseudoscience due to the lack of empirical evidence to support the basis of Astrology that "Celestial bodies (Planets, Constellations, Zodiac, etc.) Influence human affairs''. Ref- https://en.wikipedia.org/. For specific write-up Click Here.

There however are lots of challenges to conducting rigorous scientific studies on Astrology.

-       Challenges of conducting rigorous scientific studies on astrology

It's difficult to design controlled experiments since astrological claims are often vague and subjective. Additionally, there is a vast array of astrological practices and beliefs which makes it challenging to define even a single hypothesis for testing. This is a big challenge when evaluating the validity of even one single application.

-       Unregulated Landscape of Astrology

This is a real issue. There aren't strict rules for astrologers everywhere, so some not-so-good ones can make people doubt astrology. I went through this too. I'm an engineer who knows a lot about modern science, and I didn't believe in astrology. But when things were really tough for me, I tried many astrologers and only found one who was good. His predictions were surprisingly accurate, even about things from my family's past.

Evolution of Vedic Astrology: Tracing Its Development over Millennia"

Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish, boasts a complex evolution that spans thousands of years. Its origins can be traced back to ancient India's Vedic period (1500–600 BCE). Initially rooted in Vedic texts, it integrated concepts of celestial bodies, planetary positions, and mathematical calculations. The Yavanajataka, a key text from this period, played a pivotal role. Vedic astrology also benefited from the contributions of renowned scholars like Varahamihira. Today, it remains deeply ingrained in Hindu culture, and spirituality, and continues to offer profound insights into human destinies and life's journey.

These learned sages adopted a kind of "Data Science" long ago. They studied the lives of millions of people (Natives). They looked at how the positions of planets when people were born affected their lives, like wealth, health, relationships, and more. This practice is written about in ancient books like the Vedas from around 1400 BCE.

In ancient times this knowledge was only for Kings and Riches, you can understand the consequences of a wrong prediction.

What Is Astrology?

-   Astrology and its fundamental principles

Vedic Astrology, an ancient Indian practice, is a cosmic system that interprets planetary positions and their influence on human life. Rooted in Hindu traditions, it offers profound insights into personality, relationships, and life events. Vedic Astrology is also known as Jyotish. "Jyotish, a Sanskrit word which means "the guiding light"

Vedic Astrology, also known as Hindu astrology has become known and preferred as a source of guidance and self-discovery.

It indicates the potential events of your life, good or bad, challenging and most favorable times of your life which is used as guidance by natives seeking astrological guidance.

-   The concept of horoscopes, zodiac signs, and birth charts

Vedic astrology, an ancient Indian practice, consists of the concepts of horoscopes, zodiac signs or Rashis, and birth charts. Horoscopes are a graphical representation of planetary and stars' position at the time of birth. Hence the horoscope depends upon the time & location of birth.

Hindu astrology further generates different harmonics charts that go deeper into different aspects of a native’s life like Relationships, Health, Profession, etc. The calculations for generating these charts are a bit complex. This will partly answer if two natives were born at the same time, same location, and if their lives will have the same fate, a detailed write-up will be provided later.

-       When to go to an Astrologer

• If everything in your life is going well, you don't need to. Just keep doing good things.

• However, you can still seek consultancies to understand your internal strengths and it can help you to make the best out of your situations.

• If you're facing big problems and you don't know what to do, trying an astrologer can be helpful.

Astrology can help you understand where your strengths lie. It's like a guide that can help you feel better and do better.

Remember, not every small problem needs astrology; you can solve some things on your own.

It is a personal choice to believe in astrology. However, I strongly believe in Astrology which needs a deeper and exhaustive study like any other professional subject, it can take years of study along with your strong intuition.

Conclusion

Vedic astrology evolved from the wisdom of ancient Indian sages and scholars who studied how the positions of planets affect a person's personality and life. They gathered and tested data from millions of people over generations before 1500 BCE, making it part of the Vedas.

However, because we don't have ancient data and modern scientific evidence linking planetary positions and human behavior, many consider it a pseudoscience. However, some skilled astrologers can decode horoscopes and make accurate predictions to help people prepare for challenges or make the most of good times. Astrology today is gaining wider acceptance and popularity. Technology i.e. Social Media, websites, and forums like Quora, etc., have made it more accessible worldwide.
