Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. It is the study of the influence that distant celestial objects, usually stars and planets, have on human lives. The position of the sun, stars, moon and planets at the time of people’s birth is said to shape their personality. The life pattern of a native is decided as per the dasha (time period) system.
Astrology believes that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events or descriptions of personality in the human world. Astrology has been rejected by the scientific community as having no explanatory power for describing the universe. Astrology and Astronomy always go hand in hand, in modern times since Astronomy is proven by modern science and because it covers objects outside our solar system, it was separated into a separate science. But astrology remains a mystic science. Various cultures and traditions have different forms of astrology eg. Vedic(Indian), Chinese, Egyptian, Western astrology, etc
A part from Astrology, there are other forms of Occult science like Numerology, Vastu, Tarot Cards etc.
Numerology : A part from Astrology
Numerology is another modality of Occult science. The study of numbers, and the occult manner in which they reflect some aptitudes and character tendencies, as an integral part of the cosmic plan. Each letter has a numeric value that provides a related cosmic vibration. The sum of the numbers in your birth date and the sum of value derived from the letters in the name provide an interrelation of vibrations. These numbers show a great deal about character, purpose in life, what motivates, and where talents may lie.
Vastu : A part from Astrology
Vastu is an inherent energy concept of science. We cannot see energy with our naked eyes but we can realize and see its application in different forms and fashions. Universe is one of the beautiful creations of nature and everything stands alive only in the limelight of truth. Just like every subject of human aspect is governed with rules, regulations & acts, similarly the nature has also got certain key factor principles for smooth governing of its residents, in which ‘Vastu stands for nature law’ and ignorance of law is not an excuse anywhere
