I read once somewhere that the Indian astrology is based on
the theory of fate. I felt the urge to disagree but restrained myself. Instead,
I wanted to know the truth behind such a concept. I did my research and found a
suitable piece of information.
The good and the bad
actions of the past life determine your fate or Karma of your present life, and
the actions of your present life determine your future Karma. According to
Indian astrology a person is born at that place, on that day and on that moment
when his individual fate is in perfect mathematical harmony with the progress
of the stars in heaven.
However it does not preach total dependence on fate. Astrology lets you know what you were born with, what your possibilities are, the limitations, your strong points and your drawbacks. What type of life partners and professions suit you and to expect is also indicated. It also prescribes various remedial measures to ward off the bad effects and to enhance the good results. Astrology is your roadmap of destiny. However your fate is in your hands. The scriptures guide us by telling us what is good and what is bad; what to do and what not to do; how to do and how not to do. You are given a piece of land and the seeds to sow. How much effort to put in to it, what amount of manure and water to add and when how to reap the produce is your job.
After that it is you who have to act using your knowledge intelligence, discrimination and experience. Fate is like a game of cards where you cannot help the cards that have been dealt to you but how to play them is in your hands. You may get good cards but if you play badly you will lose and you may get bad cards and still may win if you play carefully. Don’t blame the roadmap if you get drunk, drive badly and have an accident!
