4. What is Astrology It is the study of how events on earth correspond to the positions and movements of astronomical bodies, particularly the sun, moons, planets, and stars. Astrologers believe that the position of astronomical bodies at the exact moment of a person's birth and the subsequent movements of the bodies reflect that person's character and destiny.

5. How does Astrologers predict the future • By Horoscopes (Kundali) • Map the position of astronomical bodies at certain times, such as when a person is born • 12 Houses/Rasi and 9 planets • Each planet represents basic human drives. • Each sign represents a set of human characteristics.

6. Kundali / Birth Chart • The particulars required for casting a horoscope are: • Date of birth  • Time of birth and  • Longitude and Latitude of the place of birth

7. Sun in Aquarius Position of heavenly objects can be recorded against zodiac Jupiter in Taurus Venus in Gemini Mars in Pisces Moon in Pisces Mercury in Scorpio This is the basis of Kundali… it records the position of celestial objects at the time of Birth Saturn in Libra

8. Predictions based on… • 9 planets • 12 Rasi • 27 Nakshatras • 29 Thithi • Yoga • Karnam • Vara

9. Rasi • Zodiac constellations • Apparent path of sun in sky. • 12 Constellations

10. Rasi

11. Panchanga • Panch (five) – Anga (elements) • Thithi- waxing and waning of moon (~ 29/30 days- a month) • Nakshartra – position of moon in the background of stars (27 or 28) – 1/3 part Padam (feet) • Yogam – total of angle of sun & moon • Karnam- one half of Thithi • Vara- 7 day week

12. How did all this begin… • As human being gathered capacity to wonder at, and indulge in certain amount of speculation …... • The regularity of appearance and disappearance of these objects should have impressed them. • the sequence of day and night, and the obvious connection of the sun • the periodic waxing and waning of the moon • the unchanging character of the stellar vault • No wonder that all ancient civilisations possess proto-astronomy in one form or other.

13. How did all this begin… • Primitive societies noticed that the hunting seasons changed along with the periodic change in the night sky. Animals and birds migrated with seasons… • Soon primitive agriculture settlements emerged • In agricultural societies sowing and other operations depended on climatic changes or the seasons. • The seasons arrived with appearance of certain groups of stars and changed with the arrival of others.

14. How did all this begin… In lower Egypt the periodical overflowing of the Nile was noticed to have some connection with the heliacal rising of Sirius.

15. How did all this begin… • Naturally, a little amount of superstition could be expected at this stage because many phenomena lacked physical explanations • They thought all these heavenly bodies must have supernatural powers. • Yet, nobody thought in those days that a person’s future could be predicted from planetary positions.

16. Origins of Astrology • The positions of stars relative to the sun "predict" the agricultural seasons. • The positions of stars can be used to tell time at night. • The Babylonians and Egyptians early developed techniques for doing this.

17. Babylonian Astrology • Strongly connected to polytheism, in which the planets viewed as gods or goddesses • Typically the predictions were for whole societies or their rulers, rather than individuals

18. Astrology reaches India… • Perhaps around 150 AD in the court of Western KshatapaRudadaaman in Ujjayini, a Greek manuscript of an astrological text composed in Egypt around 100 AD was translated into Sanskrit. • The text refereed to as Yavaneshwara, the names and concepts related to predictive astrology were sanskritised. • This YavanaJataka incorporated Egyptio-Greek astrology into Indian astronomy/astrology.

19. Why Astrology took root in India Aryabhata, tallest personality in ancient Indian astronomy (~ 450 AD) has no reference to Astrology in his work. He seeks no supernatural powers to explain natural (celestial) events like Eclipse. In his work he explains how Solar eclipse occur due to obstruction by moon. He does not even refer to the Puranic myth of Ragu and Ketu. ..But then why India is plagued by astrology?

20. New role for Astronomy • Astronomers began to parade themselves as astrologers… • Even famous astronomers like Varahamihira, Bhramagupta, Baskara –II were astrologers as well as astronomers • Even in West astronomers like Kepler were astrologers…

24. Astrology... Predictions

25. Why scientists are not convinced • There is no physical influence of planets on humans. • Solar system is not unique • Constellations are not unique • No scientific evidence on astrological prediction.

Astrology Vs Astronomy • 9 Planets • Sun, Moon, Rahu & Ketu ? • 12 Rasi • Sun is in 13th Constellation “Ophiuchus” which is not accounted. • Each Rasi is not of equal length • Virgo 44 days • Sco 7 days • Perspective view of stars • Geo centric Vs Helio Centric • Shift of Equinox • Elliptical orbit

27. Who does not need? Obviously, going abroad means lots of paper work and one should be indeed careful with documents. Life of course requires a mature approach Astrology ..predictions

28. Precession Movement of the earth’s axis (with a period of 24,000 years) has gradually shifted which sign of the Zodiac the sun is in each month.

29. Shift of the Equinox • Movement of the earth's axis (with a period of 24,000 years) has gradually shifted which sign of the Zodiac the sun is in each month. • Today the sun is in Pisces from March 5 to April 10. • But modern astrology columns still give its location 2000 years ago, February 19 to March 20.

30. Indian Astrological Events • Winter/summer solstices coincide with beginning of Makara (=Capricorn) (uttarayana) and Kataka (=Cancer) (dakshinayana) • Actual Utarayana is ~ December 22 but in Indian astrology it is January 14 • And Dakshinayana is ~ June 22 but is actually July 16th

31. Sun In Rasi

32. Shift of the Equinox • Thus modern newspaper astrology columns are about one sign (a month) off from where the sun actually is! • So you've been reading the wrong sign for years! • Astrologers who adjust for this seem to have no better success than those who don't.

33. Old model of planetary system • Indian Astrology is Earth centered, epicycle based astrology. Ucham and Neecham is the high and low point of the planets as they go in epicycle.

34. What is meant by "astrology works"?

35. Does this match your qualities ? Qualities of good Leader • Live life with honesty and integrity. • believes in discipline. • takes decision keeping emotions and personal matters aside. • excellent logical and analytical skills. • think positively in each and every situation. • Persistent to his/her goals. • cool head.

36. Does Astrology work • We can perform a mental experiment using economics. Astrologers should be rich. If the know anything about the future they would have an edge. But this is not the case. • Assuming that Vedic astrologers like to make money, they seem not to profit from their own craft.  If they could predict the future even in a vague way, they would be rich by playing the futures or the stock market.  But as astrologers they get most of their income from by doing charts. • In 1971 the Survey Research Center of University of California sampled 1000 adults in the bay area, getting their birthdates and their claimed attributes. The astrology did not correlate any better than chance. • The Australian Skeptics in 1982 collected newspaper horoscopes and found they even disagreed with each other and did not have much consistency. • Believing in things that prove not true hurts the creditably of new age movements. It is best to experiment before believing. • Have you ever considered using asteroids which are much closer than the Pluto to be included in a chart system? Problem is there are billions of them. Astrology is filled with a lot of cracks!
