Hindu Astrologer
Just because I can turn on my computer
or drive a car does not mean I understand how it works. If
Buddha were to appear today he would be clueless as to how to
operate a Palm pilot or a spreadsheet program. That does not
make me more intelligent or better able to understand the world
than Buddha.
It is hard for many to accept that Astrology
evolved into a profound Science that not only includes mundane
issues like seasons and earthly cycles, but also one that
encompasses a deep understanding of the energetic behind all of
creation.
Modern arrogance has a tendency to dismiss the
wisdom of ancient civilizations because they lacked our modern
technology, with all its implied sophistication. But we should
not mistake our advanced technology to mean an advanced
understanding of the world, or even to mean an understanding of
the technology itself.

Although much about
Ayurveda can be discerned from the birth chart, Astrology is
mostly concerned with the Astral or mental universe.
That is why we make the
same mistakes over and over again. An Astrologer can identify
the samsaras that drag us deeper into Tamas (darkness) and
recommend those that will keep us focused on Sattwa.

It makes sense. What else is there but the
physical Universe? Astrology is the Science of our place in the
universe.

The Sun energizes us as well as
all creatures that receive its light and warmth.
Given that we are not directly immersed in nature everyday, it
is easy to forget that we are residing on a large round globe
that makes one revolution per day and moves around a larger
globe at the center of a larger system of planets.
Astrology
was the first science. Lunar cycles in particular are what
allowed our forefathers to discover the best time for the
planting of crops, the change of the seasons, etc.
This is
understandable as most Americans encounter Astrology through
the daily horoscope or some other equally fluffy and trivial
medium.
However,
besides providing us with a breathtaking light show, Planetary
and Stellar movements also have an effect on us.
The same is true with a
month; it is the 30 days it takes the Moon to wax from new to
full. A year is the time it takes the Earth to complete its
annual orbit around the Sun.
How often
do we stop to remember that during the sunrise or sunset it is
not the Sun that is moving, it is the Earth that is turning.
They had an understanding of occult
knowledge and human awakening that culturally we do not possess
en masse today. Astrology is an example of this.

We must be careful as we are so conditioned by the unnatural
environments we live in that we run the risk of losing sight of
what is real.
