Understanding Astrology And Its Role in Our Lives

Understanding Astrology and its significance in our lives is easy. Are you wary of Astrology, Astrologers and their predictions? If so, then this post will help you understand some key aspects of of Astrology so that if and when you go for a Reading you will be better informed. 

In order to understand Astrology better and understand its true significance in our lives we must remember the below key points about it:

1) ASTROLOGY IS A TOOL FOR CONNECTING TO THE SELF THAT BRINGS GREATER SELF-AWARENESS, SELF-UNDERSTANDING, SELF-ACCEPTANCE & SELF-POWER 

Astrology is not simply a tool to predict the future but also a very profound tool to understand one’s Self, one’s Psyche and one’s larger Purpose in this lifetime. 

A deeper understanding of one’s Self, one’s strengths & weaknesses in our external or internal traits, brings greater Self-Awareness & Self-Acceptance. This knowledge helps us to be more compassionate towards ourselves and our life experiences, brings us peace and gives us tools to work on our limitations/traits and still succeed. At the same time, this knowledge allows us to fully own & utilise our natural strengths, talents & traits so that we can make the most of them. 

Knowing and accepting ourselves at a root level gives us greater power to consciously create the fulfilling life we all want, despite the limitations posed by our own past karma, karmic accounts and personal traits. 

2) ASTROLOGY BRINGS US AWARENESS OF DIFFERENT AREAS OF OUR LIVES THUS GIVING US A HOLISTIC PICTURE OF OUR LIVES

Astrology can help us dive deep into the key areas of our lives, so that we have complete understanding of how our life has turned out so far and potentially can turn out in the future. 

1) Our Own Self – our nature, psyche, qualities, interests, skills, strengths and weaknesses, that enable us to be more at peace with ourself and to tap into our true potential in this lifetime

2) Our Relationships – our relationship nature, needs and past karma 

3) Our Work and Life Purpose – our soul’s journey so far and the higher purpose our soul needs to fulfil in this lifetime based on its unique karma

3) ASTROLOGY BRINGS US FREEDOM AND POWER NOT ABJECT FATALISM 

It is important to note that astrology can only state the probability of something happening and not the absolute certainty of it happening. Only the Supreme Soul, God has the power to know the Absolute Truth. We must always use astrology insights and reports purely as advice and guidance in understanding ourself and our life better. We must never consider them as the Absolute Truth of what we can and cannot be, do, achieve or experience in this lifetime. 

We are the powerful creator of our own life. While we cannot escape the consequences of our past Karma, we are certainly not powerless in the face of it. We have the freedom and power to create and shape our own life, with our free will, despite the limitations and restrictions that our past karma may bring. With our Freewill in the present moment, we can choose how we face whatever comes our way, good or bad. This Freewill to choose our reaction to things/experiences/people that come our way, in turn decides our future or Destiny.

4) OUR INNER SOUL WISDOM (NOT EGO-BASED THOUGHTS) ALWAYS TRUMPS ANY ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS

We must always feel free to accept or reject any part of astrological insights provided by an astrologer, based on our own wisdom, instinct and conviction. Our inner guidance and intuition knows what is truly best for us and will show us the way ahead. Because only our soul knows every detail, every nuance, every step of our unique journey so far. While it is an astrologer’s sincere intention to predict with as much accuracy, truth and kindness as they can, yet astrology is a very deep science and there is always scope for the astrologer to go deeper into learning the mysteries of life and astrology in order to provide better insights. We must therefore always give our inner guidance the last word. Our soul truly knows what is best for us in any given situation.
