Astrology was largely developed by the increase in science and technology usage in day-to-day life. Astrology was taken from astronomy based on the planetary positions, laws were derived and meticulous observations were made during the years.
In the ancient days, the directions and time were deduced from the position of the stars. The solar and lunar eclipse was calculated from the position of the planets. The scientific fact is that the gravity laws were propounded by Sir Isaac Newton but according to Hindu Vedic Astrology the universal gravity was already mentioned in Vedas. The famous German Max Mueller has referred that the Vedas are the oldest books in existence. But the law of gravitation had been formulated in India long before the birth of Christ. The ancient rishis had declared that the earth was like a round ball following the sun like a piece of iron suspended between magnets.
The ancient Vedic conception of time was incredibly modern, as it was arrived at thousand years ago, without any modern instruments, especially the very fact that they had arrived at even the micron of the minute for measurement. Respiration had also has been calculated in terms of a second.
Our ancients found that Jupiter takes 12 years to go round the Sun and Saturn. In those days they had applied a lowest common divisor and with the product arrived at, they had formed the 120 years as the dasa period for every individual. The ancients had rejected the planets which are close to earth.
The motion of the planets and their course was studied. The path of the motion is now a specialised field in physics. The question will come to your mind whether in the ancient days, science was applied straight, therefore the positions can be predicted at a future date. The laws of acceleration and velocity were applied in finding the position of the planet. This is nothing but dynamics. The rate of increase in price is known as inflation. The share market of price can be predicted by technical analysis, which is science. In insurance business, the premiums are fixed based on the risk, which is also a scientific analysis.
In Science, a hypothesis is first found on observations and events. The hypothesis is formulated and it is tested on experiments. After the experiments, a principle is evolved. This principle is used for prediction. In fact, all knowledge is used for prediction.
| The astrological science depends upon the following factors |
| 1. Time of birth |
| 2. Date of birth |
| 3. Place of birth |
If the above factors are correct, then the chart and relevant information could be derived correctly, based on which the predictions and results could be interpreted in the proper manner. Failure of a prediction by an astrologer will not be a valid argument for rejecting astrology. A wrong diagnosis by a medical doctor cannot validate a medical theory.
The astrology laws were ridiculed when people started questioning about the theory of astrology. But this was put to rest when the earth was constantly revolving around the Sun and similarly the moon was also revolving round the earth in a constant motion. The planetary positions were determined by using mind boggling calculations.
