Can Astrology Help Us?
Astrology can help people in many ways. A person’s horoscope can reveal negative behavioral patterns. It can also indicate upcoming challenges. Sometimes we may not know where our real talent lies. The horoscope reveals our hidden talents and suggests how we can develop them. Astrology also indicates beneficial trends that are imminent so that you can take advantage of them before they end. Besides, astrology can help us arrive at the perfect timing for important actions that we need to undertake.
An important aspect of astrology is that can help us to be in control of our life. This may sound paradoxical because we think that the planets decide the events in our life. But it is an undeniable fact that we do have free will. A person whose horoscope says that they will become a doctor may choose to become a writer. The planets mostly indicate events that are likely to occur in our life. They also create conditions that constrict or facilitate us. It’s kind of absurd to say that a planet made you do something.
The Role of Planets
The planets can play a helpful role in our lives. For instance, a person who is going through Sade Sati (7 1/2 years’ period of Saturn) will face many hardships due to Saturn. But actually, what it does is put pressure on us to make us overcome inertia. Sometimes they enable us to see lazy or self-destructive behavior that may have escaped our attention. In astrology, we are always accountable for our deeds. We do have choices and making the right or wrong choice can make a difference. It is possible to analyze all options and act at the correct time, with the help of astrology.
If you are going through a difficult time, astrology gives hope because astrology will reveal when your time will change from bad to good, thanks to the movement of the various planets in the heavens. The beauty of astrology is that you will know when luck will act for you and against you so that you can prepare for it and get the maximum benefit from it. Astrology can work for you, provided you act with integrity, work hard and refuse to deviate from the straight and narrow path. The thing to remember is that even adversity can teach us many valuable lessons that can help us evolve spiritually as well as materially.
As above, so below
In astrology, short-term events are triggered by full moons and new moons. They are also caused by the “personal” or “inner planets” —Mars, Venus and Mercury—that move close to the Sun. Eclipses and movements of the outer planets—Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Pluto and Neptune – trigger the larger events.
The saying, “As above, so below” sums up astrology. Meaning there is a direct correspondence between what happens in the sky and what happens on earth. It is a common belief that full moons somehow influence human behavior. Astrology explores this more deeply and in great detail. There are many instances, maybe even in our own lives, to prove that astrology works. This explains why astrology and astrologers are much in demand even in this digital age. The problem is that science is unwilling to admit that there are certain things that are beyond its comprehension. In the distant future, maybe, it will come around and acknowledge astrology as a valid field for scientific study.
The universe certainly does not want us to suffer. A full moon brings up stuff that is meant to be swept away. New moons provide suitable conditions to plant new seeds. Some aspects offer us a chance to course-correct. Others place hurdles in our path to test our mettle or gift opportunities to help us progress. They also bring rewards for our hard work. Blessings often come in the guise of challenges and we need to recognize what they truly are.
Astrology, a useful tool
To attract good energy, release good energy. Be ethical and compassionate in your actions. Show courage, work hard, prepare well and it will be possible to sweep away obstacles and realize your dreams. Always remember that karma is real and will catch up with you, eventually. Let your intuition and conviction rule your decisions. It is important to listen to our intuition as it is the voice of our heart and works for our good. Sharpen your intuitive skills by trusting and using it. The purpose of human life is to evolve and progress both materially and spiritually. Astrology is a useful tool to achieve both goals.
