You have experienced your past. You know your present as you are living it out. But you have no idea of your future. With regard to the past too, you have no idea of your past life. And more importantly, you have no clue why a certain event happened or happens in your life, or why a particular situation is likely to befall you.

Is there a way to know about these happenings in your life? Is it possible that your future can be predicted with some measure of certainty? Is there a way to change a particular pattern or eventuality in your life, if only a wee bit? Is there a way to bring about positive changes in your life? Is it plausible to raise your happiness quotient by bringing in some favourable influences in your life?

It may not be possible to change everything in your life, but it may be possible, to a certain degree, to bring about some desirable change, or maybe even a huge change from one small shift in the direction of your life and surroundings. It is also possible to bring about an attitude of acceptance, better still a happy as also a logical and rational acceptance, of what is and what will be your life. This can also be in relation to the lives of your near and dear ones. There are various streams and systems that deal with the study of fore-telling a person’s life and of those around the person, thus helping to improve the person’s overall life situation. Similarly, there are systems of study that engage in various natural and scientific phenomena to improve a person’s life and level of energy. Likewise, there are also systematic methods of analysing a person’s life from different perspectives to help in augmenting or bringing in positive change for the person.

Astrology is a science, an accurate system of study based on the planets and stars, and their particular and relative positions at the time of a person’s birth. This is what is drawn out in an individual’s birth chart that needs to be studied to gain an insight into various aspects of a person’s life. Astrology can be used to throw light on an individual’s past, present and future course of events.

Our natural systems of planets, stars, constellations, galaxies, and, indeed, the entire universe are always in motion. This motion gives rise to various positions of the innumerable cosmic bodies that impact the lives of the universe and its components that includes us. Life is a composite whole. Everything impacts everything else. Nothing in this universe exists or survives in isolation. There is a strong inter-relationship between everything. And so predictions of a person’s life can be made by a study of the various positions of the planets and stars at any point of time.

Interestingly, astrologers are also able to draw up astrological charts for a country as a whole to predict the course of events for it. Countries are also vibrant, living units, so to say. And, so it is possible to foresee a country’s destiny or the events and happenings that it is likely to witness. Besides astrology, there are many other sciences and systems to study life in this universe. These include tarot cards, crystals, numerology, colour therapy, Feng Shui and other Western and Chinese systems of study and research. Each of these is based on certain principles and formulae. This makes them scientific in their approach. What is interesting is that all of these streams can be used in a positive way to seek solutions and answers to various situations and conditions affecting people’s lives. It can thus help to improve one’s physical and material condition, as also one’s interaction with family and life in society.

Astrology and other sciences can help in ascertaining a person’s health, longevity, financial well-being, time of marriage and matrimonial bliss, spouse’s life and health, family happiness, birth of children and their life and health, and many other such issues that affect life, well-being and progress of a person.

All such streams and sciences of study and research are well-developed; there are experts and specialists who are able to study into minute details, and proffer solutions and methods to people for success and happiness. It is important that we access the right astrological expert who can offer us sound and authentic advice. In the absence of vast knowledge-based predictions, insights and solutions, we may not just fail to derive any benefit, we may, on the contrary, suffer more harm than benefit. Therefore, it is important that we seek counsel of genuine, well-meaning soothsayers.
