Interesting facts about Indian Astrology

New Delhi: Astrology is the study of heavenly bodies on earth. According to Newton, every body has influence on every other body and the force of attraction or repulsion is given as product of gravitational constant, mass of the bodies and inverse of the square of the radius.The Indian astrology is perhaps one of the oldest astrology in the world. One thing that is very peculiar about Indian astrology is the fact that it has considerable difference in its principles and logics from the western astrology.The Indian astrology is known for widely using the stars and different constellations that one sees in the sky. Owing to this reason, the birth chart that one builds using the principles of Indian astrology is completely different from the one that western astrologers make based on their understanding.The most important aspect of Indian astrology is the fact that it takes into account the place, time and date of birth of a person while building his or her birth chart.Even little error in these three details leads to an extremely big error while creating the chart. Not only western astrology, the Indian astrology is also very different from Chinese horoscope. The Chinese horoscope takes into account only the year when an individual was born; however, Indian astrology is more particular because it takes into account place, time and birth date of an individual.According to the Chinese astrology or horoscope, people who take birth in one year are suppose to have similar traits and bear the same characteristics.Unlike Chinese horoscope, the Indian astrology gives the characteristics that relate to only that infidel and may even differ from the parents and siblings of that individual. According to Indian astrology, the movement of stars plays a very important role in the life of an individual and decides on the important phases in his or her life, such as marriage, career, death, happiness, etc.Because Indian astrology takes particular details and keeps in account the positioning of stars, the results that one gets from Indian astrology are mostly accurate and one's life revolves around the astrological accurations made on that individual.In its basic definition, astrology refers to the science and the study of the stars and the way planetary movements take place in the sky and in turn, affect the life of humans and other living organisms on this earth. According to Indian astrology, astrologers study the planets and stars and other heavenly bodies at all times and based on the positions of the heavenly bodies in the sky at the time of a person's birth, chart out the complete life of that person on a piece of paper.In case, some planetary movements are not favorable for some phases in the life of an individual, such as career, studies, marriage, etc., astrologers ask the concerned person to go for some special pujas, hawans, donations, charities to please the planets and clear all obstacles from his or her life.For some, this may sound ridiculous, but such things are time tested and many people have benefited from the solutions given by astrologers to please the unfavorable locations of the planets in their life. Our Indian astrology revolves around one basic principle. That is that all things in the universe are linked to one another.The fortune and destiny of an individual is linked to some cosmic design and is highly influenced by it.The life of a person is, in fact, the incarnation of the soul and reflects the greater whole inside the body of which he or she is a part. This is the crux of our Indian astrology.
