What is Astrology

From the Greek word Astrologia, Astron means stars and logia means study of i.e, study of stars or constellations.

Vedic astrology is a very ancient science which was practised by various sages in India. Prominent among them are Vashistha, Bhrgu, and Garga were masters of astrology. They wrote many books which are now gem to our society. They passed on their Vidhya(knowledge) on GURU-CHELA basis i.e they give knowledge to their follers who in turn use it for the welfare of the society.

In vedic astrology there is a chart which is known as Natal Chart of an individual. It comprises of 12 zodiac signs, 12 houses,27 constellations and 9 planets(including Rahu & Ketu the shadow planets and Sun a star And Moon a natural satellite).

Any prediction is based on the examination and a through analysis of this chart. Now a days astrology has become a business astrologers always try to convice their  clients to wear gemstones which are very costly and they make hefty profits from these. But the fact is that our ancient gurus have never recommended any gemstone  as a remedial measures.

So we must try to avoid such astrologers whatever written in the destiny is sure to happen and no astrologer can change it. However with the help of this divine science we can be aware of any problem which is about to come in near future.
