Astrology and Karma
From the
beginning of mankind people have followed the movements of
planets and have derived certain patters in them . The
sages and the rishis of the Vedic era have associated
Astrology with Karma. In the opening verse of the
5,000 year old Vedic text, Brihat Parasara Hora Shastras,
the ancient Sage, Maharishi Parashara, tells us that:-
"The Unborn Lord has incarnated
as the nine planets, the Nava Grahas, to bestow on the
living beings the result due to their karmas. He assumes
the auspicious form of the Grahas (planets) to destroy the
demons and to sustain the divine beings."
The great Sage then goes on to describe to us the eternal
science of astrology and effect of the planets on the
destiny of the incarnating soul.
This work is said to be the fountain head of Vedic
astrology. It is the bible of this ancient subject and
is an indispensable study for both student and
practitioner. It would take a lifetime of dedication to
master the astrological rules outlined in this great work,
and indeed, it is doubtful if one would ever master it,
for the true mastery of astrology can only be accomplished
by one who has transcended the three gunas, the ego, and
the limitation of human thought processes. The entire
subject of astrology is a description of our karmic
destiny and the vicissitudes of our temporal existence in
this world. If we are not firmly anchored in the
stability of divine truth, then we are subject to the
fluctuations and fickleness of our own minds.
Astrological principles tell us that our moment of birth
defines our temporal experience in this world according to
the temporal disposition of the planets at birth. The
planets operate as guiding impulses from the archetypal
world of the Self and they represent our samskars, the
mental impressions created from our own past actions. They
indicate our talents, good fortunes, state of health and
disease, as well as the traumas we are destined to
experience.
A well-trained astrologer is able to determine the
timing of these influences in the natal chart and early in
the course of study, a student must master an
understanding of lordships before he/she can proceed with
chart analysis. Planets have their eternal
significations and their temporal significations and they
deliver their karmas to the native according to these
significations.
