| We are part of
the sun, so it is no wonder that our lives are influenced by the sun. There is a sort of
intimate relationship between the sun and ourselves. If we understand this relationship rightly, we can enter into the dimension of astrology. There are various types of astrology practiced all around the world today. As far as its application in the performing of essential samskaras such as marriage is concerned, it is used in at least two parts. The matching of horoscope of the bride and groom helps compare the qualitative aspects of the two. What is not obvious by meeting the persons involved or by their family history may be very obvious to an astrologer regarding the possible behavior patterns and the future of the pair. A good astrologer can see if the two are compatible now and will stay compatible in the future. How applicable it is today is not thesubject of discussion here and we will not address that part. The other application is to find an auspicious time (when the planetary positions are favorable) most suitable for the event. |
