Astrology is an ancient practice that explains the energy in your life and its potential challenges and possibilities. It offers insights into various aspects of human life, with the birth chart playing a crucial role in understanding the soul’s life contract, purpose, and growth. Astrology is generally defined as the belief that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars overhead when you were born or Mercury’s retrograde position, have the power to influence human affairs.
Astrology can be understood as a philosophy that helps explain life, rather than a type of mysticism that can be used as a predictive tool. Instead of discussing what the planets do to us, we can focus on the relationship between the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, and events. Astrology can bring to light what lies at the heart of you, your life’s purpose or work, and help you select a job or hobby that reflects your values and beliefs.
There are several belief systems that hold that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events or descriptions of them. Astrology is founded on understanding the positions of the stars, which seems like a scientific pursuit in itself. However, there is a fascinating history behind humans attaching meaning to the stars. Astrology is not a science, but there is a real, fascinating history behind humans attaching meaning to the stars. Through closely observing and monitoring the location of the stars and planets, astrology sought to understand human behavior and predict events based on the stars.

Can astrology predict life events?
Astrology can provide insights into general trends and life events, but predicting specific life events with absolute accuracy is challenging due to the varying factors such as personal choices, societal steps, and time. The prediction process involves analyzing 12 zodiac signs, which represent unique personalities and characters. Astrologers use 9 planets, including two imaginary planets, to track celestial bodies’ positions. Houses, which are divisions in a birth chart, represent specific areas of life like love, career, and home.
Aspects, the angles formed between celestial objects, are also used to understand one’s life deeply. However, predicting life events with absolute accuracy is not possible due to the complexities of the process.
Why do humans believe in astrology?
Astrology is a popular form of self-discovery and self-validation, according to Jennifer Freed, PhD. It is seen as a tool for individuals to develop their unique gifts and use them for confirmation and encouragement. Freed compares astrology to a beautiful staircase, where one takes every step mindfully, holding onto something solid to guide them. She believes that astrology can provide a boost of good luck, bolstering internal reinforcement and providing an illusion of control. Astrology is seen as a way to understand one’s identity and develop unique gifts.
Why do people believe in astrology?
Astrology is a tool for understanding one’s self-identity and self-conception. According to Jennifer Freed, PhD, it serves as a validation for one’s unique gifts and provides confirmation and encouragement. Astrology is likened to a beautiful staircase, where one must walk mindfully and hold onto a solid foundation. Humans tend to remember positive feedback that validates their self-conception over negative feedback, making it easy to accept the ambiguous and positive aspects of astrology. This approach helps individuals develop their unique gifts and take mindful steps towards self-discovery.
Can astrology predict marriage?
The institution of marriage is not a predictable phenomenon; rather, it is shaped by a complex interplay of attitudes and circumstances. Nevertheless, based on accurate birthdates or horoscopes, a favorable period can be predicted, although there is no guarantee that it will occur. While indications are provided, it is not possible to guarantee that the outcome will be as anticipated.
How astrology can change your life?
Astrology can aid in job search by providing insight into one’s skills and abilities, the current job market, and potential career changes. It can also help understand work habits and their impact on job search. Astrology can also be used to make life decisions, such as determining if a new job aligns with one’s skills and personality, or if a relationship is compatible with one’s lifestyle. In essence, astrology can provide valuable insights into one’s strengths, weaknesses, and potential career paths, ultimately aiding in a successful job search.
Does astrology work in real life?
Astrology is a belief system that suggests a connection between astronomical phenomena and human events or personality descriptions. However, it has been criticized by the scientific community for lacking explanatory power and scientific testing has found no evidence to support its premises or effects. The most famous test, led by Shawn Carlson, concluded that natal astrology performed no better than chance. Astrology has not demonstrated its effectiveness in controlled studies and has no scientific validity, making it regarded as pseudoscience.
There is no proposed mechanism by which stars and planets’ positions and motions could affect people and events on Earth in the way astrologers claim, which contradicts well-understood aspects of biology and physics. Modern scientific inquiry into astrology focuses on the correlation between astrological traditions and the influence of seasonal birth in humans.
What is the role of astrology in our life?
Astrology was initially designed to inform individuals about their life course based on the positions of planets and zodiacal signs at birth or conception. Genethlialogy, or casting nativities, developed the fundamental techniques of astrology. Subsequences of astrology include general, catarchic, and interrogatory. General astrology studies the relationship between significant celestial moments and social groups, nations, or humanity.
Catarchic astrology determines if a chosen moment is conducive to success of a course of action. This approach conflicts with genethlialogy interpretation, but allows individuals or corporations to act at astrologically favorable times to avoid failures predicted from their nativity.
What is the main point of astrology?
Astrology is a method of predicting mundane events based on the assumption that celestial bodies, particularly planets and stars, determine or indicate changes in the sublunar world. The theoretical basis for this assumption is historically from Hellenistic philosophy, which distinguishes astrology from celestial omina (omens) first categorized and cataloged in ancient Mesopotamia. Astrologers initially presupposed a geocentric universe with planets and stars rotating in orbits with Earth’s center.
Later, Aristotelian physics principles were adopted, dividing the eternal, circular motions of the heavenly element from the limited, linear motions of the four sublunar elements: fire, air, water, and earth.
Special relations were believed to exist between celestial bodies and their motions, configurations, and processes of generation and decay. These relations were sometimes considered so complex that no human mind could completely grasp them, making astrologers easily excused for errors. Platonic astrologers believed in divine intervention in natural processes through celestial influences upon Earth.
The role of the divine in astrological theory varies considerably. In its most rigorous aspect, astrology postulates a totally mechanistic universe, denying the possibility of intervention and free will. This has been vigorously attacked by orthodox Christianity and Islam. However, some astrologers, such as Bardesanes, believe that the motions of the stars govern only the elemental world, leaving the soul free to choose between good and evil.
Man’s ultimate goal is to attain emancipation from an astrologically dominated material world. Some astrologers, like Harranians and Hindus, regard the planets themselves as potent deities whose decrees can be changed through supplication and liturgy.
How is astrology related to human life?
Astrology claims that astronomical bodies have influence on people’s lives beyond basic weather patterns, depending on their birth date. However, this claim is scientifically false. Numerous studies have disproven that astronomical bodies affect people’s lives according to their birth date. For instance, Peter Hartmann and his collaborators studied over 4000 individuals and found no correlation between birth date and personality or intelligence.
In one famous experiment, Shawn Carlson fine-tuned the method so that various independent scientists agreed it was scientifically sound and fair. As published in Nature, he found that the astrologers could do no better at predicting the future than random chance.
Fundamentally, there are four forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. If an object affects a person, it must do so by interacting through one of these fundamental forces. For example, strong acid burns skin because the electromagnetic fields in the acid pull strongly enough on your skin molecules that they rip apart. A falling rock crushes you because gravity pulls it onto you. A nuclear bomb will vaporize you because of nuclear forces.
Each of the fundamental forces can be very strong, but they all die off with distance. Electromagnetic forces typically extend from nanometers to kilometers. Sensitive equipment can detect electromagnetic waves (light) from the edge of the observable universe, but that light is exceptionally weak.
The placebo effect is a psychological effect that makes people feel better when they believe in a useless method. This effect has been scientifically verified, and many pseudo-scientific treatments, such as crystal healing and homeopathy, help people through the placebo effect. Sticking to scientifically proven treatments gives the benefit of the belief and the benefit of the treatment’s action. For example, instead of reading a horoscope each morning, going for a walk is proven to be good for body and mind, and your belief in its effect will also help you.
In conclusion, astrology and other natural phenomena have no significant impact on people’s lives beyond basic weather patterns. Astrology, on the other hand, relies on the placebo effect, where the belief in a treatment does not actually make a person feel better.

Who can zodiac marry?
Astrology suggests that couples should marry their zodiac opposite or a star sign that shares the same element. However, for love to endure, the partner should improve life and bring joy, understanding triggers and stress needs. It’s romantic to believe our love was written in the stars, but ultimately, marry who you want to. To attract the right energy and love connection, wear your star sign and heart on your sleeve, and shop medallion necklaces and charms according to your star sign.

Astrology is an ancient science that was part of the world’s ancient religions. “As above so below” is the hermetic axiom attributed to the great sage Hermes Trismegistus. It is the principle of the relation of the stars to every individual’s life path. The ancients never thought it harmful to one’s spiritual purpose to contemplate the heavens.
Yeah so as much as i adore sadhguru and agree with what he is saying here. it would help to make a clear distinction between astrology and horoscopes. Your natal/birth chart depicts where the planets were placed during your time of birth and yes this is the fingerprint to your character. There are common characteristics that come with the sun,moon rising sign placements to depict a persons character. You will see your strengths and weaknesses etc based on these basic placements. And it rings true to almost anyone who has their natal chart reviewed with an open mind (check it out for yourself first before you assume anything about astrology) whats ironic is that the natal chart has more to do with astronomy than astrology (there i said it) anyway Now predicting ones future based on your natal chart (horoscope) is nonsense in my opinion. There are so many factors that come into play when you have to make decision in your life not forgetting the emotions that influence those decisions. Astrologists need to give you a reason to keep coming back to them. This is where things get really murky. They may tell you things that make you feel good about yourself (kinda like a therapist or a palm reader) which sadhguru refers to as the intuitive ability of people. But to predict your future based on planetary positions is pure nonsense. The planetary positions may influence certain energies and frequencies of earth electromagnetically and perhaps influence certain events due to cosmic shifts (Like the seasons).
4 in 1000 trillion decisions mad in a day are in your control . That’s approximately 4 decision every 10 seconds . The rest are in the control of Jyothish Shastra . But 4 decisions in 10 seconds still makes you more powerful than those who decide not to even use one of those choices . What they are is left up to you to decide.
Years ago a friend of mine was struggling in all aspects of his life. He got fired from his job. His wife left him and slept with another man. They fought and he was put in jail. Nothing was going right for him. So, I pulled up an Astrology reading on his life. In the prediction, it said 5 years from that point, his life will get substantially better. He brushed it off as superstitious mumbo jumbo but went on with his life. Five years later, I got a call from him saying that he had since opened a business and was doing pretty well. He bought a 5 acre home in upstate NY. His wife came back and they have 3 more kids (they had only one when he was struggling). Recently, he sent his teenage son to a $40k per year boarding school. Predictions are useful in giving you hope so you can endure just another day until you are out of your slump. Note that the prediction for my friend was not (could not be!) in detail. It was just a vague glimpse to help him hang on. In that sense, it is ok to take a peek of what’s to come. Indeed, it might even motivate you to work harder. My friend did!
I respectfully disagree with the statement that the astrology will look at you and predict accurately. I have had 3 astrologers practicing and not practicing for financial gains who have never meet or have spoken to me have predicted accurately my past and future. I did not believe these prediction given to me in my 20s and 30s. Now in my 60s I realize they were accurate. This has completely changed my views about astrology in the last chapter of life. Astrology can be a path to spirituality if studied as a religious practice.
Sadhguru, you really think the planets are inanimate objects and not highly evolved beings??? Please explain. I get the be an influence rather than being influenced, but the planets themselves I always thought are evolved life forces or beings. Please, if and when you can, respond. Thank you for all that you do. Shalom
Swamy d purpose of astrology is not d things u r saying. Astrology is not only meant for just predicting d future. It helps in so many ways . It helps person who seek a good astrology who has profound knowledge and practical experience can guide to select a career in which one can shine and fit for it. To do right things in right time. Astrolgers do have some intuition but there are great astrogers who peedict some good things to avoid some disasters to happen In one individual life or in society. For example when ur attached by a disease, day or d other it goes .but need of good doctor is to cure it or to see d disease should not worsen
Astrology is the eye of veda. Accepting all the parts of veda means accepting veda. Don’t accepting any parts of veda means don’t accepting veda. Or you accept veda partially without astrology. It means you are partially agree with veda. Accepting veda means you are Astika, otherwise Nastika. Do you agree to eliminate astrology and its literature from the earth because its worthless? Are the sages of astrology all wrong? How the individual related with cosmic bodies? Is the man omniscient ? Can any body know every subject? Is it necessary one has to answer all the questions to be a Guru? Can a subject answer all the human questions? Is there any subject which can solve all the human problems? Accepting the limitation of your subject and individual limitation is a true wizard. Objective of discussion is to searching the truth. But some people think discussion means they portray themselves as omniscient. We try to know the truth of astrology by Questioning and Answering. I wish Sadguru must answer these questions.
I think astrology can help but it stacks you in a way of going in your life, you can be a pisces and improve in your life and be super expressive, If you just rely on astrology you lose your real power because you’re letting others tell you who you are And I have for example the sun on 6th house and I don’t care about heatlh care jobs, so who’s right, the Natal chart or you? You can be whoever you want to be Even if you answer me, it’s your outer word against my dreams
When people develop towards higher states of consciousness it can be overwhelming and there are lessons to learn in every state. The idea of guru doesn’t seem very healthy because an hierarchy rises up as in ‘this man knows better than the other’. I believe we are rather all teachers and all students, and the art is to be able to see everyone as equal, no matter their current state of consciousness. With consciousness comes responsibility. That is not easy, and just as difficult a task as lessons in the lower states. And also here we can ‘fail’ and lose consciousness, that is no problem; its just life teaching us a lesson that we still had to learn, so we explore again and see how we can transform this ignorance. The man in this article is very much judging, he seems trapped in a polarization between right and wrong, which makes him arrogant and his truth loses meaning. It is a great example of a higher state of consciousness and the hard lessons that can also occur in those states. Here we understand that we are equal and that it is no better or worse than a young soul learning basic lessons. He is talking about something that he clearly didn’t explore. Astrology studies the nature of the times, and its purpose is not at all the one that it is used for in mainstream culture (namely predicting the future); astrology can be a useful tool for transformation, just as any science or any encounter outside or within yourself could serve this purpose. We should not judge each other, but rather respect each others truth and embrace the tools for change.
I don´t understand why all people think that Astrology is there for telling someone his or her future? It clearly isn´t. Also the Word ASTROLOGY doesn´t mean it or claiming anythig in this direction. It´s more about the harmonics of nature an the magical beauty of the inner Cosmos! not about humans! But every Astrologer should know this. If you like to study humans and their “maybe future behaviours” there are different disciplines to study.
we all have our views and knowledge and his life can also be questioned. You can’t question the most established science( ancient Indian texts ) and say i’ll destroy others in his ashram if they don’t do what he likes. That is not democracy nor letting god or karma work. Being forceful is not what i expect from a spiritual man like him, maybe i was wrong.
True we should evolve to such an extent as to be able to take on the effects of planets in our life. This is possible by sincere practice of teachings of yogis. However a good astrologer properly rooted in spiritual practices, if he is clever enough, would be able to direct any person, who is not so interested in Sadhana but only on material well being, towards spiritual sadhana since good actions performed for one’s own benefit will give the aspirants another dimension of growth which would lead to spiritual growth and seeking in time in due course. This is the reason even vedas prescribe rituals for selfish ends which slowly bring the aspirant towards seeking and spiritual growth.
Those who could not understand what he is saying just read Autobiography of Yogi by Swami Paramhansa, chapter 16. Use of astrology is not prohibited but how one Yogi must use it that is what he is telling. It is as simple as consider that if someone is not well or in case any medical emergency r u going to find out Muhurat?
The common man sees astrology as a means of knowing his future and waits for predictions without doing any Karma. But, the deeper human being uses astrology to know his own tendencies and traits and then change himself or herself, regardless of the outcome. The latter modus of dealing with astrology is far superior to any religion or Guru.
I respect sadguru but beg to differ…he shld not talk on subjects which has made people’s life better nd given hope nd spirit instead of making them ignorant as he claims…this kind of talk vll under mine great rishis like Parashara, varahamihira, jaimini, Brigu, uttara kalamitra..there fore sadguru is making fool outa himself
At first I thought sadhguru is awesome, he got an good accent of talking he has good impact of words on listners I really started listening him daily But as I observed him and his topics on which he talks about He gives his opinion or judgment on all main issues So what’s my point actually, that sadhguru type personality should stay away from the other professions Like he is talking about astrology, he should have knowledge that shastra is first ever discovered subject ( note my words please) I said its a subject because it have stepwise studies of every part to which its related Sadhguru believes in Ramayana but not in the medium (shastra) through which thels beautiful story took place !! So sadhguru i know you have knowledge but please make sure is it true or misleading Thankuh
As much as the sun has an influence on man the stars also do it’s the way it is… The stars God created are meant to guide our intuition, so if one was to let the stars and the self to work in harmony then the man has fully realized the purpose behind creation, so man shouldn’t resist the influence of the stars, God isn’t stupid he cannot just have created stars for nothing if if it’s not to help us move in the direction of our purpose 🙄
“If there’s an intelligent person in this room?”Are you calling all the people dumb? 🤨 I understand, what you are trying to imply… but your knowledge of our solar system and how you talk to the people, comes across very disrespectful. This is not what I expected from a Guru. My prayers go out to you. 🙏🏼
Not all astrology is about prediction. The study of astrology, tarot or the 10 sepiroth of the tree of life are all excellent ways to study the archetypal energy of the one and the self. Insight too, where personal blockages and imbalances reside . I don’t believe Sadguru here is condemning astrology, just the modern usage and perspective. The study of astrology has greatly benefited many on the path of learning to know the self.
Sadguru, I like your speech and ideology very much. But you are saying against astrology that is quite disappointing. This is a subject that evolves at least 6000 years ago or more than that. Somebody gets any power from sadhana and learning of astrology as a career both are not similar. Can you make any horoscope or do have any idea about the mathematical calculations of astrology. Do you have any training on the subject vedic astrology. If not, then you should not make any comment on astrology. If anybody knows the future it is not a stupidity. If a person does not have a past karma it is never possible to give him a spiritual enlightenment. Just to make money it can be possible to give a short term hallucinations which will not be in place in the long run. So to get the ultimate result it should require to spent sometime with the person to know whether the person have any connections or not. Person can only manipulate his present so that he can get a good future. The present karma effects more than Sanchita karma to build the future. So if the people have any idea of future then he can make the present living more satwik. Can you give any guarantee that if anybody follows your spiritual process get 100% success. 100% success depends upon the individuals efforts and past connections. No subject and process in the evolutionary process of the world can assure 100% guarantee of its accuracy.
I’ve started to notice that in Sadhguru’s old articles, he would be so abstract in his explanation that it seems it’s very illogical and almost pseudoscience but in recent articles it seems like he may have read all the related concepts from a scientific discipline perspective. Now, he uses a lot of scientific parlance and that’s why it seems more logical and reasonable.
Astrology can help you know about which planet is having negative influence and get solutions accordingly. So make your life better. It is like removing shakels in a way that is intelligence. Only trying to use intelligence by ignoring science of astrology can be egoistic and waste of time and energy. That’s what I feel.
. His opinion was a bit too degrading astrology- it gives me impression he didn’t study it much – just gives vague opinion about something he’s not an expert at. In that case I can be a guru too men . No good Astrologist says that you cannot change anything or have no power – in fact it’s exact opposite it helps you to empower self and be aware astrological circumstances . So sorry but this guru I think he was good when there was no Internet. Now any average 40-year-old can tell you more than that
Sadhguru I have lot of respect for you for your contribution in the society..but I differ with you on Astrology..Yes astrology is strong science but the usage of it what makes defines it I am an astrologer and I can clearly tell u with experience that our destiny is all written,karma is what will lead us to it whether good or bad.. Astrology as Science and Astrologer as a messenger plays an imp role to use it in corrective way…you said if someone gets to know they won’t die they will become irresponsible where as it is on the Astrologer’s intellect to put it across in a way that he should not scare the person or make them live in illusion… bad has to be put across as only remedial and good always as a bonus for good karma..giving caution if you are blessed any day when u default Shiva will take that blessing away..but unfortunately we don’t want the world to know the truth of their being hence most are living in darkness and astrogers are making money and ruining the sacred science.
I have consulted so many astrologers and each one will tell you something different. There is a variety of charts that they refer to when making predictions about your life. You often find contradictions in what they have to say. It only unsetlles you. Be calm, have faith in supreme power ( God, Goddess ) and be kind to others.
Senses, flower of existence – bow to Babylon Pain, father of creation – bow to Babylon Look – you’re the creator of your own creator Your beginning overthrows your myth Parody of perfection feeding on mere mortal Perfect being can only exist in itself Let him die at last I will never worship reflection of imperfection Questions: I carry my own cross to be Flesh, blood, mind – see the flower of Babylon Stigma of earth will never disappear Aiming to zero is the testimony of existence I’m here to be, to watch and to fade All world focused on one single entity I kiss my reflection in the universe Alone in dying Babylon: proud -Decapitated
Thanks sadguru g.. i totally agree with you. I have come across people who are very much influenced by astrology, but i believe in god not in astrology. so i get i a negativity from them even they are very dear to me, they keep try to put their philosophy on me which really makes me irritated. and i believe in to go with the flow.. do your karma..
As usual beating around the bushes and some body will comment back i am in no position to comment on him.You are a good orator and i could see that sir Mr. Sadhguru ! Astrology is part of our culture and it has value and its relatable. I personally know astrologers who could say accurate things and they don’t demand money and give as per my service is the reply of them. Can you express ur understanding on astrology to prove its wrong. First sir, with all due respect for ur age i am asking. I am educated that a person should be qualified enough to speak on it. If u say u r qualified by going to chamundi hills or astrology school. Explain things of astrological science to first us and start dismantling the truth. If anything is told without this schematic its called bluff, is that not the science of bluff. Please correct me if I am wrong. Just saying few words beating around the bush and defaming some things ppl live daily bread on it and genuine person even is one, then u should follow proper communication etiquette to first of all deny anything. Sorry to say sir, u with ur popularity going with unclear communication. Else explain that u know that science and bring that kid abhignaya for example who is astrological person and have a debate first to prove both u Mr.Sadhguru and Abhignaya given same astrology to show the qualification and then validated by experienced astrologers to see that u r equipped the knowledge. Then debate and hear ur points and let’s hear their points. This a setup proper to do some justice to it.
Using astrology v can get hint predict some true facts about our personality as how planets can influence our traits but Future CNT b predicted.. Becos now our future is in govt hand…if ur birthchart says u can becum engineer…nd u write exam and don’t clear paper due to govt cut off so who s holding ur future.????if u say to board its given in my astrology I can b engineer wil dey give u marks and make u???? Astrology can be used only for limited things nly not for ur entire life, job career….
In Sanatana Dharma, we don’t use the word ‘planet.’ Instead, we use the term ‘graha.’ Grahas are not inanimate objects; they are all avatars of Lord Vishnu, influencing us and delivering the results of our sanchit karma (past karma). Our kriyaman karmas are in our own hands. Hora Shastra is based on previous karmas, while Prashna Shastra is based on present karmas. The Navagrahas represent nine types of energy: Ravi represents the soul, Chandra represents the mind, Mangal represents courage, Budh represents intelligence, Guru represents knowledge, etc.
Don’t know what understanding this man has regarding Astrology but what he is saying is all about common astrologer or pandit and not about proper astrology researcher. The intuition part of this article is 100% true because you can predict anyone’s life event using your intuition. The purpose of the astrology is not predicting anyone’s future or past but there are 4 things which each and every astrologer should have in their astrology meeting with anyone which are Guidance, Consultation, Counselling and Remedies. Even there are no such things like Grahashanti, Kaalsarp, Mangal Dosh Or any other dosh. All astrologer are using this ethology as source of income, they are nothing to do with anyone’s life. The way he guide people through his speeches, Astrology is also the way of providing Guidance our sages made thousands of year ago for the betterment of human being without spending single penny and this guy selling Hatyoga Training for USD 9,000 (INR 5,50,000). He is doing same thing as common astrologer or pandit doing with all human being. Don’t know about this man but true astrologer use astrology to make someone’s path of soul in right direction.
The astrology is all about planet’s effects on you,it is correct for you visit:- 1.Visit a right astrologer 2.Know your time of birth 3.Kniw your date of birth. Why sadhguru said so is because he has already became a revered Yogi,which is possible by his difficult sadhana for years,he can’t be now affected by happenings around us,well we are not in that state of power.He had even sat for 13 days continuously without moving,I ask how many of you can do it ????. Astrology is very famous experiencing science developed in India by a Yogi called “Vedang Jyotish Muni”.
Anybody can predict the future of someone. There are only assumptions and general rules that are working, but not the particular details of the future. I follow astrological predictions for 15 years now. I never conducted my life after the so called predictions, because there are no predictions. But many “predicted” things were happened, as I was able to see later, never before. A placebo effect also works in these processes. A positive prediction while you life is a shit can help you to survive and hope, this is why most people are looking to hear the astrological predictions.
In Kerala ( I don’t know rest of India). If you are Born as a hindu and unless you have a gf or bf to marry in right ages, you are ruined. The astrology is so strong and Stinky here that for making a marriage to happen, it takes 4 levels of firewalls to overcome. ALMOST ALL GOOD proposals will go burnt out and couldn’t make it. Other religious people living here are either of love or arranged will marry on right ages to their rightly choosen partner and have a good family life. 95-99% astrology has bad or negative effect on the normal life of a hindu person. Stay away as far as possible.
In my opinion, astrology is not just knowing what’s going to happen to you tomorrow. It’s a way of understanding our Karma and taking remedies, by which we opt to avoid further bad Karmas. Astrology is a scientific way of knowing a past life exists and Karma works. I like Sadguru’s contradictory ideas very much and I watch his articles quite often. They shed light and force you to think unconventional. But anyone can boast that he or she can tell what is exactly going to happen to you after 10 years and then when challenged, he or she can say I won’t tell you, coz what’s the point of knowing?. There is a point of knowing. You can help lot of unfortunate people to avoid committing bad Karma. World will be a better place if everyone is fully aware of their good potential.
I can agree that in some way astrology can make one ignorant, but it depends on their level of consciousness. Granted that if you are aware, you will begin to use astrology and lther forms of divination in the proper way. You release the need to act reckless when you become aware of this one act of awareness.
Assalamu walaikum…. I’m from Bangladesh…. I like sadhguru a lot…. I want to join him…. But in my recent situation i’m a student and i’m not able to go india to take diksha…. But i think i need/want it badly… *i’m Working on my inner quality (anger, afraid, shame etc) So can someone tell me…. how can i ask something to sadhguru? Please
Astrology has certain restrictions which many astrologers don’t follow thats why Sadguru needs to make things clear. Three restrictions are very important. 1. Answer only what question someone is asking. 2. Do not predict age. 3. Do not look into your chart, your friends chart and your near and dear ones chart.
Astrology just ruined my life. I don’t believe in astrology, but my girlfriend have a divine belief on astrology. Her mother took her to their family astrologer and that person have never saw me, still he claims that me and my girl’s kundli is less than 5/36. He also claims that if we get marry, we will face divorce. Since that day, till now I’m trying my level best to explain my girl that astrology is not real. We are so mentally draining each day that Ive no hope in my life. My girlfriend is crying everyday, and since that day till now, she is trying to separate but she can’t cz she loves me and I also love her. It’s been more than 1.5 yrs now, still we never came upon a fight. But this astrology thing has gone so deep in her head that she can’t able to handle it anymore. Everyday this insecurity stickes her and she says that in the future she doesn’t want to hurt me. But by doing all this, she is hurting me now itself. We love each other and we dont want to separate but now her mother also got involved in this and told her, if she stays with me, her mother will abandon her. Oh God, I’m so mentally draining, frustrated for that person whom I’ve never met.
People are not little children that you can patronize… most of them have the power to discriminate among things that suit them and things, philosophies( or parts of them), ways of thinking that don’t. The role of a teacher is not to tell people what to think about specific teachings but to show them how THEY can be the masters of their life…by being able to decern what’s right or wrong for themselves..
Fun Fact: There is no concept of “upaay” (solution) in astrology (jyotish shastra). Astrology is mostly about position of celestial bodies. Ancient Hindus developed and used the theory to remember and celebrate events. Some people question – What does the position of a star have to do with my life? TBH, nothing. We celebrate our Birthday, New Year and other events based on the relative position of the earth and sun, don’t we? Another common question – On what basis do astrologers give personalized suggestions? They are faking it. Why? They are needy human beings like all of us. When a person tells you the future state of something, it is but natural for you to ask – So what do I do about it? Since the beginning, pundits have faced societal pressure for answering that question, which leads them to invent suggestions in order to maintain their position and authority in the society.
I ruined my life getting obsessed with astrology for past 2 years. Terrible ocd and depression that I convinced myself I should kill myself. Terrible things had happened and kept happening to me so studying astrology instead of helping further warped and distorted my paranoia and hopelessness from severe PTSD symptoms. My naturally peaceful loving and fun personality warped into one with an inability to enjoy anything. I really identified with every negative meaning if every nakshatra in my chart. But now I’m doing exposure therapy by reading those negative. meanings, accepting it, detaching my emotions from it, and seeking out the broad spiritual loving perspective on life I very naturally had that I completely lost touch with when my life crumbled before me. I still feel I’m unlucky, but I’m trying to view my life as a tragic beautiful movie that can still have a meaningful happy plot of redemption love and success instead of going down the rabbit hole of overly identifying with vedic astrology. I hope to not even need to manifest anything anymore but instead take things as life gives them to me and feel grateful for the good and let go of the “bad” (that which makes me feel unhappy and unsafe). I’m slowly regaining hope and confidence through my dark times and hoping you all can join me too. Let’s dream for a better future 💕
Whatever he said is true…its depends on us how positive mind are we towards life …n divine …if you don’t understand about each planets function ..it will effect n we allow it to effect on us….if you believe there’s a 10th planet above it that is you.learn about life n death …learn about our self ..who,why n why not we are here .the day you start questioning yourself a lot of changes n wisdom you will attract ….. I’m only a follower of him so far I didn’t attend any classes with him n also others speakers ..or spiritual masters …they talk the same language based on their experiences ….even I had a lot of experiences when I started to learn n seek about life …miracles happens a lot more changes in life n peaceful is happening…so believe in you …and 1 must know what exactly you want in this birth n life ..just wants to share my knowledge of life. Thank you.
I just believe in God, coz he’s the one who created us. Just do good deeds, and he will give you fruitful results. If you harm anyone, he’ll take a stern action. Most of the astrologers told that I won’t have happiness with children, but in reality I’m fond of children and their mischievous behavior makes me feel happy. So According to me, astrology is totally a crap. And finally I also believe in myself.
I use Astrology to better myself, which then in turn helps me to better others through nuance examples and illnesses. All illnesses have one thing in common, they on the Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual dimensions. If you need an example tell me your sign and I can let you know what you may predisposed to and how it will arrive from what dates, and the severity of it based what I see transiting and what houses of astrology. I don’t claim to be the best but I am very confident in my abilities so much so that I weave together other forms of divination to tell the full story and message from the Source.
I don’t do the future with the astrology, and the way you talk about the moon is quite coherent with your natal moon exiled in capricorn, like the main goal of astrology is not even far away from tracking down anyone’s future with the oroscope, but it’s to see your personality, your karma, and it’s totally useless unless you don’t try to transform your natal chart into higher octaves of knowledge…
I think that he expressed his opinions (apart from Now) regarding a gross astrology or its gross uses. It depends on the level (away/closer to goodness) of a person who wants an astrological consultation and on the level of an astrologer (very hard to find a good one from all points of view). I consult Jyotish litteraly as guidance to Light. Astrology can help to see -‘s and +’s in a person, can help with getting through tough times with less damage and with a deeper understanding of life. Just read Mahabharata, Bhagavatam, Ramayana: all yogies, sages, munies knew/used astrology. It is question of vision, understanding and intelligence.
In short its Karma not destiny, or the other way, you get what you do. You eat what you cook, you reap what you sow, you hear what you sing and you look how you act. It’s too simple. No God bounds you, you are free so make you’re way. Because if God really planned everything, he wouldn’t let anyone hurt any life form.
As we are talking about Vedic Astrology or Jyotish means light. Lord Brahma teach his songs Narada Muni, Brighu Muni this Divine knowledge to help humanity. With this divine knowledge you can do amazing help humanity. If you say nonsense I tel you, You are nonsense something what is given to as by God is not nonsense. Asc then are you really guru or you are bogus guru.
If person is born STUBBORN and won’t change his mind no matter what, does that proves destiny / astrology ? I have father who is a Taurus real hoarder (as they usually write, a materialist sign) and would rather die than be proven wrong (Im never right, lol NEVER, come on) and he never listens to me. After some research, I discovered Jupiter in difficult 8th house represents difficulty with father in Vedic astrology, which is really true, for both me and my brother with this exact placement and same effect. Proof or coincidence ? ok next.. I am skeptic and I question everything. If I found a single flaw I would stop learning about astrology by now. I am realistic, humble and very open minded – curious to new possibilities. Reason why: – Moon in Virgo 11⌂ = “Some of the most skeptical people are Lunar Virgos.” “Irony of this is I still doubt astrology sometimes and therefore proving this, lol…” – me – Sun + Mercury 9⌂ = “With Mercury in the ninth house, you are eternally curious, and you hunger for knowledge…” Religion, Law, Ethics, Philosophy, Big thinking, higher learning, spirituality…✓ – Jupiter 8⌂ = “You are talented at strategy, research, and investigation with Jupiter in the eighth house of your birth chart. You are able to get to the root of any problem and instinctively feel that this is where the answer lies! You take great pleasure in unraveling mysteries and solving complex problems. You can be excellent at research and investigation.” – Saturn conjunct Uranus 2⌂ (2nd house represents money, posessions, family, self worth, the food, the throat.
I respect him for many things but he clearly does not understand Astrology… He refers to the stars and Planets as “Inanimate objects” but how can one look at these large celestial luminaries as though they are anything but Animated? People are way too black & white with Astrology and act as though its either Fate or Free will. I think its ignorant for someone to be on either extreme. I use Astrology very much like i use the Weather forecast. Are Meteorologist(weather forecasters) correct 100% ALL the time? Absolutely Not. But when they say there is a 75% chance of rain 🌧 Guess what? I get to use my god given “Free Will” to go out and live my life, I just plan my day accordingly and watch out for slippery roads. But if it doesnt rain, i dont bitch at the weather man and say, “Meteorology is so FAKE, bc it didnt rain like he said it would”… A real & good Astrologer should not speak in Absolutes… Like the weather man, they can only predict the probability of something… It is your personal Free Will to do what you Will with your life whatever the given external Fate of the weather/astrology is. …Peace…
In 2021 people seriously think horoscopes are the beginning and the end of astrology 🤦🏿♀️ I don’t believe in Horoscopes but what I do believe in are the undeniable correlations of the astrological ages & human history. We are currently on the cusp of the Age of Pisces (age of the believing & idealism) & the age of Aquarius (age of knowing & awareness). This shift is evident in the way people are gradually starting to break away from dogmatic religions, the fall of colonialism & slavery, moving away from inequality etc. We are heading towards a newer way of living hence why people are becoming more aware of their mental health, becoming more spiritual, wanting to align with their true self, sustainability etc. The universe is not separate from us. We exist in this system so wouldn’t be crazy to think it can impact human consciousness….
Astrology is real …may be guru dont know its truth…..astrology is not only predictions but also it will be a map for your life journey…through astrology based on horoscope a true astrologer can explain y sadguruji become a yogi….y he lost his family life ..etc….never underestimate a true science
You see Guru, you presume that all the people would react the same if someone will tell them the future. This results that for you people are just a mass of dumb individuals and it is not the case. I know people who if they would find that in 1 week they will die they will use that week to do good things, spend time with their family or do something good. And I know that you would say: “But why didn’t they did that anyway???”, and the answer is because you have to go to work, to get money, to pay for food, school for kids, clothes, mortgages and so on, because this is the “life” we live in. Why you have to do that??? Because that is life guru. Not everybody can stay like you and spread “wisdom”, because from where normal people are, your wisdom doesn’t apply, as reality kicks in.
this is absolutely wrong…he believes in impact of moon on human(several articles on same) beings, he endorses shivratri like anything citing reason that is that time where there is natural upsurge of energy how that can happen without inpact of solar system which includes planets???? all great yogis like Yuktagiri who was guru of writer of “Autobiography of Yogi” were great believer of astrology (one can read in book) …all Indian festivals are based in astrology only i.e. purnima, ekadashi, amawasya etc so one can simply can not make fun of astrology and then go on about shivratri, moon impact etc…that itseld is a paradox…
you are forgetting that there are more planets that make up a personality, the moon (the inner emotional needs and works), mercury (communication style) venus (how we attract love and the art we admire, how we flirt) mars (aggression sex anger, etc) and many more, also you haven’t mentioned the aspects these planets make to each other which determines whether or not the energies within the individual flow properly, and you did not mention houses placements which determine in which area of the person’s life these planets play a role in. you have done something which many unintentionally ignorant and well-meaning people do which is that you have essentially reduced astrology down to sun sign. but that is not astrology. all the planet’s aspects and house placements work together painting a unique 3-dimensional image of a person. somebody could be born 2 before me and have a completely different moon sign possibly different mars or venus or mercury and. Their sun could be in Scorpio but mercury could be in libra and rising could be in Sagittarius, and their moon in Gemini….they would come across as a completely different Scorpio than me. They could even be born on the same day as me in the same location but 2 hours before me and their whole life would play out differently because the planets move around in the houses when the ascendant sign moves around which happens every 2 hours. sun sign astrology is only 15% percent of the equation. you have unintentionally judged a book by its cover and the people who wrote the cover didn’t even read a 1/10 of the book.
Yeah, as a Astrologer I always tell ppl prediction aren’t always true because life changes all the time. Especially eclipses, they just change anything and ppls lives change. If u use it to predict things it could stress u out intensely. Sometimes it’s best not to know. Just live your life without fear and follow your heart.
I think you are contradictory in your views… Who saus that one can predict with 100% accuracy…. Making mockery of what you do not know deeply it self shows from your laughing giving example of vessel… The other day i also heard of saying you over caa and ncr wherein at the outset you have said that you did not read the notification or any govt document… How can you say for and against the subject when you yourself has not gone through! The astrology is based on krishna theory of karma and not make you fatalist but warn you and to mame efforts to do good… It is always best to live in present but the person who is not prepared foe the future has to face music…same theory applies to nation… Otherwise why to store arsenals? Shortage of space preventing my detail reply…
