Astrology and Karma
Karma is the
sum total of one's physical, mental and spiritual
functions. The world goes on because there is a role of
free will assigned to human beings. Where does then
astrology fit in, deal as it does with predestination? Is
there a conflict between belief in astrology and in free
will? How can scriptures lay emphasis on both if they are
mutually conflicting?
Astrology is based on the relationship of cause and
effect. If there is an effect, there must be a cause
preceding it. Thus, if an event good or bad happens today,
there must be a cause for it, whether or not that cause is
appreciable. Certain functions or Karmas produce an
immediate result. Still others obtain fruition after a
longer time period. Still others may take several years or
decades (or even longer) to materialize. If one believes
in the law of cause and effect, then the ambience of one's
birth and the subsequent opportunities or their lack
cannot be a matter of mere chance. This takes us to a
belief in birth and rebirth. Karmas done in one birth
must manifest sometime in a later birth.
The past karmas produce limitations for us because they
yield certain results, which influence our future karmas.
We do have a free will, but within the limitations
prescribed by the results of our past actions. Karmas in
fact manufacture destiny.
An astrologer can point out which of the results from the
past karmas can be overcome, and which cannot be overcome
and, therefore, have to be suffered. A karma done is like
a missile fired; it may or may not be neutralized by a
counter-missile, depending upon the relative strength of
the two.Read More about
