Astrology is the ancient science to study the visible celestial objects, especially the Sun, Moon, stars and planets for their pattern of motions and their influence on earth. There is no predictive astrology in Vedas but as time passed people started using this science for predicting future.

Perhaps the most important criticism of the scientific viability of astrology are the empirical studies which have found that astrological predictions are no better than random chance. The study proved that not more than 50% astrological predictions come true and as per the law of probabilities 50% predictions can come true even when there is no basis to predict. Divorce rates do not correlate with astrological compatibility. Sun signs do not show a greater chance of following one career path over another.

Planets and Stars do not have so much influence on human beings that they can decide our fate. If astrology is the sole decider of our fate then our efforts (Purushartha), deeds (karma), blessings, curses, negativity and others negative vibrations have no role to play.

Do not allow objects to influence your life. You are the all powerful influential being in this creation and you are the creator of your own destiny. Perform good deeds, be positive, love everybody, believe in the higher divine self, meditate regularly then even Rahu-Ketu or shani cannot interfere in your peace and cannot do anything wrong to you.



- Shri Ramesh Jain

I was a staunch believer in astrology and all my actions were based on the advices of astrologers. For every problem I used to find solution through astrology. After attending your workshops and understanding it as a science I have developed belief in myself as being the creator of my own destiny. I am out of the clutches of astrologers and I find things are much better off now. The power of my thought also has improved after practicing meditation that everything which happens in my life I can co-relate it with my own thoughts, emotions and imaginations. I have no hesitation is saying that I was a weak person and hence was trapped into astrology. Now I have full faith in myself and developed strong conviction that it is we and we alone who are responsible for our lives and life situations.

Q: My daughter is a mangalik and I have been told that the boy should also be mangalik otherwise there could be problems in marriage?

A: More than worrying about matching horoscopes I suggest you to match the attitudes, life style, life visions etc. of both the boy and girl. Otherwise, even if the horoscopes matches but these factors do not match then chances are more for problems in marriage. I know several couples whose horoscopes matched perfectly but they did not prove to be good match and there are many cases otherwise where couples prove to be made for each other whereas the horoscopes do not match at all.

Superstitious beliefs create more problems rather than solve hence, find a good match for your daughter who appears to be made for her in the various important aspects of life and perform her marriage with a positive attitude. She will lead a successful married life.
