Acknowledgment

First of all I feel greatly indebted to all the Astrologers of the era whose irresolute faith in the sacred knowledge of Astrology acted upon my psyche like Saturn on Mars in Capricorn; Moon on Jupiter in Cancer and Mars on Sun in Aries. In depth study of the theories of Nadi Literature enkindled in me the true love and devotion for Astrology. Mr. Saurabh Sagar of Sagar Publications provided me this literature. I owe my sincere thanks to him. I was inspired to dive deep into the ocean of this occult science of Astrology by my sons Mr. Manish and Mr. Mohit. I owe my gratitude to them. My beloved wife Mrs. Rashmi suffered the pangs of negligence due to my single-minded devotion to Astrology. I offer my apologies to her. I also owe my gratitude to some of my students and friends but for their motivation it would have not been possible to write this Book.

Let me also thank Sagar Publications for bringing my Book "Basic and Traditional Concepts" in the simple, illustrative and beautiful format.

I will fail in my duty if I don't express my gratitude to Mr. R.S. Chani for his valuable suggestions.

Introduction

Is Astrology a science? "No, it is a super science" says Mr. Astrologer. It is in fact the dogmatic, rigid and ritualistic approach of the practitioners of astrology, which resulted in creating doubts in the minds of the people about its efficacy. Astrology, no doubt, will remain an enigma if the attitude of the traditional astrologers will continue to be rigid and their minds closed to the realities of life. We need to learn to discriminate. It is S.P. Khullar shocking to say that even the intellectual giants like Carl Jung, Sepharial, Alan Leo, Walter Gibson, William J.T. Tucker, C.E.O. Carter and H.S. Green who knew that "Whatever is born or done at this moment of time has the qualities of this moment of time", also showed as if they suffered from some sort of intellectual void during their approach to Astrology. A moment can't be defined as an hour or even a few minutes. How then the Rashi Chart or even the Navamsha Chart (as studied and analysed by Vedic Astrologers) can delineate the nativity of a person. Neither the planetary positions nor the aspects, nor the yogas change; and even the varga charts may remain the same. And the less we say, the better it is, about the Western Astrology which primarily depends upon the theory of Aspects and Progression. No two human beings are alike in the universe. Each horoscope, therefore, has to be unique. Our ancient seers used to construct and analyse charts to the accuracy of a few seconds of the ascendant. Let us try to match their calibre to the best of our ability and use this sacred knowledge to pro vide, benefits to the society at large.

To me Astrology is, at bottom, a microscopic criticism of all facets of life under the influence of celestial bodies. It is difficult for any learned man to deny the influence of celestial bodies on life on

Earth. It is a different matter how to analyse this influence and apply it to predictive Astrology. People oppose things because they are ignorant of them.

Laws of science are universal. We do not say American or Indian Laws of Motion. However in astrology no body agrees on anything. It is time, friends, to come to an agreement, at least in respect of its elemental principles. There are so many misunderstandings that if a radical change is not made, the fundamental role of Astrology will be seriously limited.

My approach may not be an end in itself. However, I am making an effort in my books under the Title 'True Astrology" to present before the readers how to approach the subject of Astrology in a scientific way. The reader's dedication, devotion and the open-minded approach will bring rewards. However, let us not forget that our success in prediction is largely dependant on the accuracy of the software, which we use for the calculation of planetary and cuspal positions and also the accuracy of the birth data, which more often than not is questionable.

The book True Astrology "Basic and Traditional Concepts" is written with the intention to prepare the genuine readers of the sacred science of Astrology to comprehend with ease the Kalamsa and Cuspal Interlinks Theories.

Suggestions from readers are welcome.

Fundamentals of Astronomy

Introduction Astrology is the study of the influence of the celestial bodies on life on Earth. Our solar system consists of Sun, around which planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury revolve in elliptical orbits. Moon is a satellite of Earth and revolves around Earth. Since Moon plays an important role in Astrology, it is also considered for all practical purposes a Planet. Since the Moon's orbit is inclined to the plane of Ecliptic (the apparent orbit of Sun), it cuts the Ecliptic during its revolution at two opposite points. These points are called Rahu and Ketu and they are also treated as planets in Hindu Astrology. Since these are only intersection points and don't possess any mass, they are called as shadowy planets. To understand how planets influence life on Earth, it is imperative to study some important fundamental aspects of Astronomy.

Astronomical Basics Poles: Earth is a spheroid and if a perpendicular is drawn through the center of the Earth it will meet at two ends of the Earth's sphere. These points are called Poles. One is said North and the other is called South. At North and South poles, there is no East or West direction.
