Astrology and Spirituality as a tool for self development.

Why me?
Why I have to go through this pain?
Why I am the victim always?
I never did anything wrong with anyone then why I have to suffer?
These questions only haunt you right?
I put so much effort and work hard but in vain. Suddenly a realization comes –
There is something else which is controlling all this.
Is it my bad luck? Or,
Is it my karma? Or,
Is it evil eye? Or,
Is it something else?

Here, the chaos in mind starts and confusion takes over the control of thoughts. You linger to know answer of just one
question- What went wrong?

And the search begins of a GURU who can answer this question
.
Few end up doing several pujas, wearing stones, changed vaastu of home and office and at worst get in the trap of
tantriks.
After trying all the remedies, you either find them partially helpful or condemn it completely and feel it a waste of
time and energy.
Issue is authenticity of astrology and astrologer whom you are consulting. Unfortunately, there is no other way but to hit and try which astrologer and type of practice is suiting you. For few palmistry works and some go for tarot or as-trology or tantra.

Most of you have become more fearful and the quest to know the unknown has put you in a weird mindset, now, you are afraid of making almost all the important decisions of life.

You always seek advice of your Guru and follow his guidelines.

Just stop for a moment and think where you are going?

Is this the way of living life?

You are a dependent creature and situation is so pathetic that you can’t even make a single move without guidance.

The fear of failure has made you so insecure that you have lost all the wisdom.

Friends, astrology is not this and it is not there to create fear in you.

It is a wonderful tool to make your life empowered and should be used for self-development.

It should not be misused by making you more fearful and dependent instead should make you strong and independent.

But this needs a new way of perception and a completely widened horizon of thinking only then wisdom will shower on you happiness and more meaningful life.

Before we take our first step towards using astrology as a tool we must understand one thing that Vedic astrology alone does not hold accuracy today. It needs perfect blend of EMA (Energy Matrix Astrology) for making accurate pre-dictions (90% accurate)

Another important thing is to understand the fact that planets of solar system do affect phenomenon on planet earth and have the affect on beings also. A very simple example to explain this is formation of high and low tides in sea. We all know that moon’s gravity (1/6 g) which is one-sixth of earth’s gravity is the reason behind tides in sea. When moon which is very small in size with low gravitational force can have effect like this then just imagine the power of sun and other planets which are much bigger in size.

So, conclusion number one is planets affect our life and much phenomenon on planet earth.

And conclusion number two is astrology can only predict circumstances and not the result. It can only predict whether the events occurring in a particular phase will be challenging, insignificant, intense or will bring opportunity, break-through or struggle.

But no one on the planet can ever predict the outcome. One can only tell you the circumstances in future.
Now, one question attacks you
–
What is the use of astrology when we can not know what will happen? What good it is to know circumstances?

Answer to this is very simple. For knowing answer to this we need to know the reason of our existence. Why we are born? Why we are sent here?

The reason we came to this planet is to clear our Karmic debts and backlogs. The life that we are living is chosen by our soul. The purpose is to experience the different circumstances of this life. We are expected to sail through the difficult times with wisdom so as to clear the karmic backlog. Unfortunately, we become so much involved in this ma-terialistic life that we do wrong things without even realizing its bad impact on the karmic bondages. Many researches have proved that we all our souls and we have come to this planet to refine ourselves. The life that we are living is also chosen by us. We choose difficult life’s to clear the karmic backlogs. As souls our intention is to face difficult times in life and try coming out of them without getting perturbed and without using wrong means so that we become pure and better souls. But after coming to this world we begin cribbing that why we are going through all this. We forget that it was our choice only. In human life we are so busy achieving materialistic things that we forget the very purpose of this life. That is the reason why most of us are either living a life that we constantly curb or are busy achieving materialistic possessions and do anything to get success. The moment we are into this we attract negative energies and make our lives more miserable. The existence is supreme and it has sufficient to give to all of us.

One should be thankful to existence for everything that you have right from trees, birds, your own life, music, water,nature and everything that you own. The moment you start thanking your life then you automatically attract positive energy which makes your life beautiful.

For this we all need to be aware of our existence and for being aware meditation is the only process as it connects our soul with the cosmic energy which is the supreme power of all energy.

To answer the question
-
What is the use of astrology when we can not know what will happen? What good it is to know circumstances?
Once you know the greater purpose of this life you understand that this life is like a school where you are sent to learn and improve yourself. Now you start taking the tough circumstances in life with more enthusiasm. You enjoy these tough times rather than cursing yourself and your life.

Thus, by astrology when you know that the time is tough and circumstances will be challenging then your heart under-stands that this is clearing your karmic backlog. So, you become aware of it and you handle the situation with wisdom and do not get trapped in any concentric karmic backlog. You become thankful to God that you got a chance to clear your debts so that you can be free from this vicious circle of life and death and attain moksha.

After knowing this entire thing do you feel the need of knowing the result of your actions via astrology?

I feel it is futile because result is not important. The process of going through circumstances is important. Being
aware of your existence and being thankful to it is important. It does not mean that you become inactive. You do your Karma but do not depend on result for happiness. Enjoy the process as it is the very purpose of your life.

I do not say that you do not achieve materialistic things in life. One should try bringing a balance in materialistic and spiritualistic life to attain an empowered life. Also understand the bigger reason of life and treat the issues of life and failures normally. As it has hardly any importance. Live a life full of wisdom and happiness by understanding this ulti-mate truth of existence.

All this explains how the understanding of astrology can be used as a tool for self development and empowered living by attaining wisdom and happiness.
