Astrology is a study of the movements of celestial bodies called planets which give information about events and incidents of human affairs and also world events. Indian Vedic Astrology is related to Moon Signs and is more than 5000 years old. Astrology predicts terrestrial events from celestial observations. Many scientists question the validity of astrology and call it a myth not based on facts and experimentation proofs. Hindu astrology is the oldest known to mankind and the most accurate. Hindu astrology originates from India and was given by saints and sages who had divya darshan, which means they could visualize the future accurately with their extraordinary power of intuition and in-depth knowledge. Among the famous sages are Parashara, Jaimini, Bhrigu and Agastya.
Hindu astrology is called Jyotish which means light. Hindu astrology finds place in the four Vedas. Vedas are the religious text of the Hindus. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra is the textbook on astrology by Sage Parashara. This book is followed even today by all astrologers in India. Jaimini astrology by Sage Jaimini is also followed by many astrologers. Saravalli by Kalyan Verma is another important contribution towards the divine subject of Astrology. Astrology, as a subject, is taught by many Universities in India. Ancient astrology works were originally written in Sanskrit and later translated in English and many other languages.
Astrology written in palm leaves is known as Nadi Astrology. Nadi astrology has roots from Sages Agathsiyar and Bhrigu. Agathsiyar Nadi is followed in South India, especially near Vaitheeswaran Temple in Tamilnadu near Thanjavur. Bhrigu Nadi is followed in North India. Shiva Nadi is also followed by some hereditary Nadi astrologers.
Astrology revolves around the belief, birth and rebirth and finally moksha of the soul. Our past life karmas rule our present life. Good karmas done in past life will bring wealth, good health and happiness in present life. Bad karmas of past lives will give miseries in present life.
Remedies are the backbone of astrology. You can correct your past life sins by doing remedies in this life by feeding the poor and hungry, feeding crows, cows, fishes and birds. Astrology is a road to happiness, stresses on correct remedies and good karmas in the present life.
