Why Most Astrologers Are Not Accurate and What We Can Do About It

[Guest guest]

Namaskar,

 

 

Parasara states in his Magnum Opus, " Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra " , that

prediction is difficult even for a sage. What to say of ordinary mortals like us

then? I would venture to say that the great majority of astrologers, even the so

called " legends " in this business, have not thoroughly perused his great tome-

and quite frankly, do not have the intellect or perseverance to understand it

much less apply it's vast techniques.

 

 

If I may ask a few questions to my esteemed readers, both astrologers and

clients : Did your astrologer even mention Gulika or Yama Ghantaka to you, did

you think he at least made use of them? Do you even know what they are? Did your

astrologer use Kalachakra Dasha " KCD " (A highly refined timing system)? Did you

know that Parasara speaks most highly of KCD and not the over-used and

over-fitted Vimshottari Dasha? Does your astrologer know to rectify your birth

time with the supremely time-sensitive KCD? Did he even bother to rectify your

time of birth at all? A proper birth-time is CRITICAL to all predictions! Did

your astrologer use any conditional dashas?- is Sun in your first house? - then

surely he must have used Shashti Hayani dasha- or maybe not. Did he use transits

and the Sudarshana Chakra to really fine tune his timing for you? I willing to

bet the most will answer the above questions in the negative- and now you have a

teeny-tiny glimpse of why you didn't get the results you were seeking.

 

 

If you have a moment please read the following message if you are interested in

Vedic Astrology but want to either learn or contribute to how it can give all

you far more consistent and concrete answers. This is NOT a sales pitch of any

type.

 

 

 

It is my genuine supposition that the overwhelming majority of astrologers fail

in their analysis and that this failure is attributable to two primary reasons.

Of course, we must define failure first. Failure can be defined as the inability

to consistently and accurately assess a given querent's strengths, weaknesses

and personality. Failure also includes the persistent inability to accurately

time the querent's major life events- too many astrologers indulge in giving

beautiful explanations of past events but are utterly incapable of looking into

the future. Conversely, one may ask, what is success? I define success, in the

astrological realm, as an accuracy rate (dealing with major issues) some where

in the 65% to 75% vicinity. Anybody claiming substantially higher, especially on

a long-term basis, is a liar or a sage.

 

The first reason is largely but not completely out of the astrologer's control.

The second far more important reason is largely under the astrologer's control

but is greatly limited by his skill, intelligence and diligence. Astrology, at

it's core, deals with probabilities- some events can be forecasted with greater

accuracy than others and some simply cannot be seen at all-querents need to be

made aware of this. As we all know, a single natal chart is embedded with a

mind-boggling array of details, astrologers must be able to parse out the major

relevant issues and holistically synthesize them; though like most things worth

doing, easier said than done. I don't know if astrology is a science, it seems

more like an art. I don't know if astrology is perfect as many loudly proclaim,

perfection seems impossible in this world. Nevertheless, as many here would

agree, astrology can be quite useful. I would now like to ask you all a very

serious question.

 

How many of you have had sub-par reading from your astrologer? I would venture

to say that many of you have had less than satisfying experiences. Almost all

astrologers over-promise, over-charge and under-perform. Let me bluntly ask, can

anybody off the street become a surgeon? The barriers of entry into medicine are

quite high but the barriers of entry into astrology are simply non-existent. Too

many astrologers, even well known ones, provide shabby analysis in order to make

a quick 200 dollars an hour or whatever outlandish fee they charge for such

mediocrity.

 

Just so readers know my vantage point. I have been to many astrologers in search

of the best, too many to count in fact. I have been to the legends, to complete

unknowns, as well as everything in the middle. I can safely say that out of the

many I encountered, including a few with a presence on internet boards, I was

only impressed with three to four at most! In order to counter the widespread

ignorance of proper astrological techniques in this Kali Yuga we have formed a

small but dedicated astrology research and application group.

formed group:

 

 

http://health.revati_energetics_true_vedic_astrology/

 

 

 

Our group deals with unearthing, interpreting and applying the secrets

contained in the BPHS. It will also feature free lessons for beginners and

intermediates. Though this group mainly concerns advanced astrological concepts

everybody is encouraged to join. It is run by an astrologer by the name of

Revati, the finest I know of. I wrote this message for him because I really

believe in his work. I have nothing to gain from it. Ask questions to your

heart's content, nobody is asking for anything in return. We all can learn

something.
