Why the Forecast differs from one astrologer to another astrologer?

Every astrologer is capable of mapping up a horoscope. They possess adequate knowledge of astrology. They make accurate calculations.Many astrologers rely on the degree of precision of the Planets.There are many factors viz.thestrength of planets,planetary aspects,dasha,doshas,combustion,position of planets ,etc.to be considered before arriving at a conclusion.This does not necessarily mean that their forecast should be realistic and reliable.

Vedic astrologers relied on the observations and characteristic features of the planets.Therefore,the Predictions and Forecast bestowed by them were true, realistic, reliable and credible.

Nowadays,lot of people are advocating astrology under the robe of astrologer,without possessing the basic knowledge of the concept of astrology.Natal astrology is a unique art and is one of the 64 arts practised during the olden period. Natal astrology is different from Numerology,Nameology,Palmistry,Gemology,Vasthu,etc.The planetarial influence arrived at in all these disciplines are not same and the calculations are not the same.

Prediction is an Art

Natal Astrology is absolutely scientific but the predictions are artful.The astrological forecast can best be understood by the following story.

Long ago, in a Kingdom, the Queen gave birth to a male baby. The King invited the court astrologer and asked him to map up the horoscope of the newly born child by giving the time of birth and to foretell the fortunes. The Court astrologer did the same and told the King," Maha Raja, You are ruling one country now. Your son will rule 9 countries!" The king was happy and gave him money. When the Court astrologer came out A dhobi (Lauderer) intervened him and asked," My wife also gave birth to a male baby exactly at the same time when the Queen gave birth to a male baby. Will my son also rule 9 countries?" The Court astrologer smilingly said," No. You are a launderer and you are washing the clothes to one village now. Your son will wash clothes for 9 villages."

Thus,it may be concluded that astrological Prediction is an art

The Prediction varies from one astrologer to another on the following grounds

(1) Following different concepts of Planetary motion
There are two major concepts namely "Vakya" and "Thirukkanita" for calculating the planetary motion.The Vakya method relates to the astronomical calculations and ancient observations adopted and followed by the Divine people, the ancient Seers known as "Rishis". Accurate astronomical records and tables were constructed in ancient India which depicted the assembly of stars, Planets and Satellites, their rotation, revolution, Velocity, direction, distances traveled, Path of the Planetary motion, distance between other heavenly bodies accurately, at any point of time and for any number of years. The contemporary Scientists are surprised at these astronomical findings and calculations, which had been well prepared during the ancient periods and when there were no scientific awareness, equipments and knowledge . The contemporary Scientists modified certain calculations according to their findings. This modified version of the astronomical calculations by scientists of the contemporary world Is called "Thirukkanitha method".Therefore,the position of planets may vary under each concept

(2)Giving importance to prime factors
The course of a human life is to be foreseen from cradle to grave by carefully examining the strength of planets,planetary aspects,dasha,doshas,Yogas, combustion,position of planets ,etc.the Natal Horoscope with due importance to the various destiny(karmas) indicated therein.

(3)Spiritual Power
To bestow astrological forecast, an astrologer should be empowered by the astral forces namely the "planets" in his own horoscope or say, he should possess spiritual power, a divine gift. Then only, the Predictions and Forecast bestowed by astrologers come true and become realistic, reliable and credible.

(4) Intuition
Sometimes the Astrologers may not be able to arrive at a conclusion as to which interpretation is ideal and realistic, due to the indifferent posture of the planetary conditions in a horoscope. On such occasions little spark of reality flows through Prayer to the Favorite Deity or God and appears in the awareness as "Intuition". In such times, the intuition may be taken to arrive at the conclusion.

(5)Non-Celestial disciplines
Those who practice non-celestial disciplines such as Numerology,Nameology,Palmistry,Gemology,Vasthu,etc are also giving diverse predictions which do not bind the Natal Astrology.
