Astrology and Unethical Patterns of Life
_________________________ _______________

by Shivaji Bhattacharjee

ASTROLOGY is a divine torch that can illumine one’s life. Astrology is a “definitive discipline of vitalistic cosmogony” envisaged by the Vedas and “is the calculus of human kinship with stars”. Astrology is a thorough-going “discipline that addresses itself to every concern of man” from birth to death. It juxtaposes comic rhythms with the biological rhythms in individual life and draws spectacular guidelines. Predictions concerning nature, character, emotion, impulse, habit, hypocrisy, intepredity, violent motives and such other intricacies of human behaviour are very difficult to identify because of the complexity of the social, economical and political conditions of the world today. The classical text we have are helpful in giving broad outlines only; but in the context of today’s need we have to fill in and read just certain implications through our intuition, experience and research. A comprehensible table to determine the positive karakatwas of different bhavas and the concerned planets is given hereunder in order to assess the complexities of human nature.
