Hora Astrology

As Human Beings there have been situations when we tell to ourselves when some activity that we do goes wrong "i do not know at what time i started this work-Nothing goes right". Its Human Psychology to curse the time when things go wrong and we always look for a short cut to come around these kind of problems. In these situations the concept of Hora works well for the success and failiure of the activity that we do. In this context i would like to share a personal experience of mine with one and all.
A year ago one of my friend then working in Bombay was enquiring about how good was his time in gtalk with a specific reference to job and marriage. Considering his birth star and the hora, I suggested to him that the chances of he coming to chennai was very bright within a particular period and it happenned with amazing level of success. The reason behind was that he had put forth his question in the Hora of Jupiter and for his sunsign and planetary position at the time of birth things happenned very fast.

Face is the Index of Mind

We often see people quoting the popular phrase contained in my blog title and i have always felt bemused many times thinking whether thats really possible.However much all my opinions and bias against astrology and similar subjects that i had possessed underwent some change during my days of graduation as it was the age when we explore many things and i happened to meet a person accidentally while I was on my way to college.It was the meeting that changed my outlook towards areas like astrology,face reading and so on and has brought me to this level of writing a blog post on Face reading.
As I had suggested in my earlier blog with Samudrika Lakshanam the past present and future possible events in an individuals life can be suggested. Face reading is an extenstion of the Subject of this forgotten art. Face reading has also got a closer link with astrology in the sense the essence that Many physical appearance in our human face is closely associated with characterization attributed to many of the planets in the solar system.This could be exemplified by the popular belief that the bald people are intelligent and this holds some logic in art of face reading as the mercurial People are associated with baldness in their fore head.Taking the help of face reading we can easily decipher easily the needs,personality traits,ability and so on. Its appropriate to mention here that Dr Edward Vincent Jones, Judge with US Superior court and who has dealt with lots of people spanning his judicial service has compiled a list of facial features for genius people,criminals though his intentions were otherwise to disprove such correllations,has finally accepted these things to be true and infallible one. Its also interesting to know that since the time of Confucis chinese doctors have even used the art of face reading for the purpose of diagnosis. Identification/Classification differs in chinese and other contemporary methods of face reading and yet the prediction techniques are similar in nature.

Samudrika Lakshanam

In one of the Tamil Film in recent times there is a scene where the hero would be discussing about the qualities and character of women with his bunch of friends on the basis of some classification like patini sitini and so on. As the curiosity within me grew I started collecting information from various sources including internet and in a chance i got to possess some book on the forgetten art of Yesteryears - Samudrika Lakshanam. I was surprised further when i found a book written by the popular lyricist of the bygone Years Late Shri.Kannadasn on samudrika Lakshanam. As I started reading the book I was amazed at the intellect,wisdom and intelligence of our great fore fathers and could even recollect some stories depicted in some movies and thought of sharing some knowledge that i had gained in due course and I am publising this article.
So what does the samudrika Lakshanam tries to explain - Character of Men and women in simple sense. It is widely beleived that if a person well versed in the art of Samudrika Lakshanam can easily decipher the character of an individual who is totally unknown.If observed very carefully in our daily life we come to certain conclusion just at the look of some individuals - and that is the influence of the art of samudrika Lakshanam in our daily lives. The predictions in this forgotten art varies for men and women for the simple reason that the physical attributes of men and women are not the same

Nadi Astrology - Beliefs and Myths

If there is any branch of astrology that is more abused and denigrated than any branch of astrology then think it should only be Nadi Astrology. May the reason stems from the fact that there is a cloud of mystery surrounding Nadi astrology . The Matters have been made worse by the fact that quacks with greed for quick money have played with the gullible public(remember India has one of the worst records of adherence to Intellectual Property rights and Nadi astrology is no exception) and yet its a gift that has been given to us by our sages with a great insight in to the future. A vital belief among the Nadi Astrologers are that only if a person is pre destined to know from Nadi astrology that his palm leaves would be found else his palm leaves may never be found.However much the predictions contained in Nadi astrology is subject to the karma of an individual
Nadi astrologers believe that these Palm leaves have been written by sapta rishis or the great 7 of all the rishis - Sage Vashista,Sage Agasthya,Sage Bhrighu,Sage Viswamitra,Sage Valmiki,Sage Bohar and Sage Vyasar(Veda Vyasar - the famed author of Mahabharata) . It is believed that these sages gifted these Palm leaves to seven leaves and only family members and their generation of those seven families are in the profession across the country. These old palm leaves contain couplets/poetic expression of the individual who comes in search of his roots as the word "Nadi" means "in search of".These Nadi astrology are generally referred to as Nadi Grantham in South India and Bhrighu Samitham in the North.
Late Shri B.V.Raman in one of his articles published years ago in an article written in a much famed English Daily while referring to Nadi astrology states that 1588320 astrological combinations repeat themselves once in every 360 years.

Nadi Astrology

You may be surprised when a stranger who knows nothing about us tells about our family members,our occupation, and possible occupation of our siblings contained in old Palm leaves.More surprise awaits us when he tells about simply based on the thumb impression - Kindly note that there is no software involved in this. Is this real and can this happen was the question my rationality was suggesting and with the curiosity of a small child I Went to a nadi astrologer's place to have a feeling of the same.
There at the center a person in the reception asked me to register my right hand thumb impression on a Piece of paper and above all He just asked us to write only our initials on the piece of paper in which we had registered our thumb impression. After a while there was a person calling the initials and there was an Individual with a section of palm leaves. He starts reading those palms to ascertain the palm that belongs to us and very soon we found out our palm leaves To my utter Surprise palm leaves contained parents details, date of birth,birth star, and the planetary positions at the time of birth, My educational qualification/line of education, and the details about our siblings and their martial status and so on.

Psychology and astrology

Psychology is a science that tries to explain Human behavior in a particular situation even though human behavior is complex in nature. Still the subject is put to extensive use in various professions particularly where the profession involves consultation and interaction with the clients - be it a medical service,legal profession and so on and astrologers are no exception to this rule.
Astrologers have to consider a lot of psychological issues while giving their opinion for the simple reason that every Individual cannot be expected to be matured enough when possible bad events in one's life are said. It is common among many astrologers during interaction with their clients sounding positive words and hope even if the planetary combinations suggest otherwise. The concept of Parikaram or repentance for bad planetary combinations are also a way to infuse hope in an individual. When observed carefully people in good position may attach sentiments like beginning their work and so on In Contradiction people who take recourse to astrology are normally those who have been affected by some issues with no solution in sight.
In the light of the above scenario when a person comes to an astrologer,the astrologer is duty bound to infuse hope even while advising caution on certain issues rather sounding words of doom and destruction in an individuals life. It is even possible that a person suffers psychologically more because of the astrologers advise than because of his real life problems and affecting him.

Karma phalan

In the last post an attempt had been made to introduce the link between karma and its impact on an individuals life as seen through the eyes of astrology. Karmasthan is a vital aspect that needs to be given a lot more attention by an astrologer for the simple reason that the strength of the karmasthanam, its lord, influences received by the house and its lord determines the divine power
availaible to an individual.
Where an individual is blessed with the divine power he is bound to succeed and come out in flying colours even during testing times and for this we need to understand the concept of karma In simple sense its the fruit of our past actions that we receive including the actions that we do in our past lives howsoever much the belief in karma varies from religion to religion. The word karma bears a different connotation in the epic Mahabharatha where Bhagwan Sri Krishna explains the concept of duty through various slokas with the master piece being the sloka that begins with the words karmanye vadhikarasche....
The Karmasthan as suggested earlier determines one's profession, challenges that an individual may encounter in his professional life,stability of the profession, to a large extent the closeness and affinity with the family when seen together with 12th house and its lord;Possible timing of the last rites that an individual is required to do for his parents and so on are some of the possible predictions that may be made after analysing the 10th house in an individuals horoscope. Further even the punishments that an individual may receive from government agencies including arrests, imprisonments could be judged in an horoscope after analysing other planetary combinations in a individuals horoscope could be made

karma and astrology

Karma has a great value in the Hindu belief system and all the sufferings and well being are attributed to karma of one's self.This is also a very important aspect that needs to be factored when astrological predictions are actually made. In a tamil movie released few years back the hero would repeat a dialogue " andavan kettavanakku niraiya kuduppa aana kai vittuduva" Nallavanakku niraya kashtatha kuduppa aana kai vidamatta" meaning the the so called bad individuals get all the good things in life but not the divine power and support while a good individual gets into all sorts of problems yet would come out in flying powers because of the divine power and blessings"
In the background of the above mentioned lets see the importance of the concept of karma in astrological predictions.. The house of 10th is treated as karma and is also considered as the one determining an individuals profession, career, griefs and sorrows in one's life. Strength of this house can help to judge whether an individual will actually derive the full benefits of favourable planetary combinations contained in an individuals horoscope... For example so manay people would have born around the same time Bill Gates was born and yet why others could not gain the same mileage and popularity as Bill Gates is a question that would normally be put across to an astrologer.
Another comparison is that a prison official and a convict both are in the prison albeit for different reasons Its the karma that makes them to be in that
A person born with all raja yogas may not be in a position to enjoy the benefits of that yoga if the karmasthan(the house of 10th) its lord are in a weak position and are afflicted by malefic plantets.

Medicinal Astrology

As the people sufferings increase its human nature to look for atlernate ways to mitigate their sufferings and to this phenomenon nothing is exception."Prevention is better than cure" in medical parlence its better to take precautionary measures than to take curative medicines . Biologically what suits one person need not necessarily suit the other and sensitivity test is one among them.
However our real concern is can Astrology predict diseases,suitable food, and possible cure for the same. "Yes Zodiacs affects our health" notes a research conducted in Houston . In a related development astrologers in varanasi may end up in assissting cancer specialists in curing cancer and a question that arises immediately in our minds are "is it possible" - Yes its possible. for example libra people are generally advised to avoid spicy foods else the chances of suffering from stomach disorders like ulcer are higher to them compared to other zodiacs; Its only a general advise and we have to factor additional factors in an individuals horoscope to have better accuracy..
