CYBER ASTROLOGY – A FRIEND OR A FOE

Questions   from outright porn to Karmic Astrology put on Internet may prove it a friend as well as a foe.  Human weakness to know all sorts of future events is encouraging it beyond one’s imagination. 

Cyber astrology has also provided a very easy access to those who are very learned astrologers, those who know the subject fairly well and those who have just started dabbling in astrology.

.           Is cyber astrology dangerous?  No, certainly not, if it is taken in proper strides with certain circumspection and precaution of noting limitations of such predictions. As has been mentioned herein before, one has to appreciate the limitations of the transit results of planets as are being published in newspapers.  In case any day’s reading is fine, one may find him in an elevated mood, at least immediately after reading it but he cannot be sure of that elevated mood after an hour or so.  In case it is adverse, it may be true in reverse, though the reader may start the day with a negative note.  Those who read for the fun of it, it may be fine for them but those who seriously take these daily, weekly or yearly predictions dished out in newspapers and now on internet, sooner or later, they will start losing faith in astrology.  In view of the conflicting predictions in different newspapers and astrology websites, depending on the individual perception of the scribes, his own pessimistic or optimistic attitude towards life and his mood, it is essential for the learned and wise to keep a discriminating eye between the fanciful astrology and realistic astrology.

 Cyber -Astro- Counseling

It may prove helpful in case correct data is passed on the computer to the astrologer/counselor.  But one should note that the counselor is deprived of personal assessment of the concerned native by judging his aura or “panchbhutadikrut chhaya”, his “cheshtas” (body motions), “Shakunas” (omens) which have been given much importance by the learned astrologers of yesteryears at the time of arrival of the native for putting any question on the basis of natal chart or Horory chart.  It is a fascinating science depending on the correctness of the data, the assessment through aura, cheshtas and omens etc. and insight, perception and knowledge of the concerned astrologer.

In 2001, on remarQ.com  a gentleman on the basis of his own  Sun Jupiter conjunction and the fact  that he was  selling cars, drew an inference that  such conjunction indicated a person concerned with selling cars and broadly to marketing as a Salesman to Marketing Manager etc. It is just too general a view for, I myself do have that combination but I am not selling cars or in any other ware or in marketing of any thing..  It may be seen slightly differently.  Jupiter being a planet of expansion and the Sun, being Atma Karak may be taken to be an indicator of self, then such a person may be eager to expand wherever and in whatever field he is.  To say that he would be selling cars, one has to add and see the influence of Venus – being karak of vehicles and influence of the planet, which indicates livelihood in the chart.  Therefore this over simplification must be avoided.

However, one must appreciate that some very interesting discussions have taken place on remarQ.com relating to retrograde Mercury, ascendant, the Sun and the Moon signs, karmic astrology, dominating mothers/ parent, on horary astrology relating to missing article, sensitive points, famous astrologers of the last century, why you have started studying astrology seriously and host of other similar points. And, on an Indian site, we found  “I love you Ash” also. However, we did not find its reply, “ Sorry! Be worthy first, before saying " I love You Ash.” .I am sure some of that many of these web-sites would not survive and the larger fishes in the market may virtually swallow the smaller ones by their marketing management as well as qualitative and quantitative improvements.

Conclusion

In cyber astrology, we find from pornographic discussions to really intellectual discussions.  Everybody chooses things according to one’s taste and perception. But if anybody really believes in astrology, then he must try to protect his positive thinking in order to avoid undesirable influence of cyber astrology Those who have better insight and perception about how our own actions or karmas in the life prior to the present life and actions performed during this life as well reflect in results in this life, will certainly protect  themselves form adverse psychological impact of such half baked  predictions.

Some persons like Devas believe in Ocean Churning and in taking Amrit with the grace of the Lord and some having intuitive instinct like Rahu also get by disguising themselves as "Devata", but others having “Asuri Prabrutti” will certainly feel  adverse impact of this cyber astrology Manthan. One shall get what one wants to see and what one wants to appreciate, and the kind of antennae one has to receive the messages.

Those who have used Astrology for the benefit of mankind shall use this cyber astrology also for self- realization, self- evolution and for the benefit of mankind. This is what is expected of an Indian astrologer. And, our Astrologers shall prove it in near future. This is what, I believe.
