MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT VEDIC ASTROLOGY

This indeed a nice question which will definitely help many people in better understanding of Vedic astrology.

There are many common misconceptions about Vedic astrology among common people and that is deep rooted in the society and people believe it much than the real Vedic astrology and still question the astrologer if it is correct or should they not follow it.

One of the biggest misconception about Vedic astrology is that it is a miracle making shastra and has got remedies to all kind of issues / problems in life.

People feel that with the help of remedies they can easily get rid of their problems and so they are ready to pay any amount of money for it.

Such kind of people becomes prey of quack / fraud astrologers who will lure people with the remedies to get rid of their problems quickly.

Lets understand with an example : A couple is not destined to have children by normal way as per their Vedic horoscope. So even if they does costliest of costly remedy then also, they can not have children by normal way. This is the bitter truth.

A remedy only works only when the event is promised as per horoscope, but there are hurdles and difficulties to achieve it, and there remedy helps in minimizing the negative impact of the hurdles there by easing it a bit for achieving it more easily.

The next misconception is about Saturn that it is a cruel planet and it always gives pain and difficulties and specially the sade sati period breaks down a person.

This is fear of Saturn / Shani dev is deeply rooted in the society and people have wrong knowledge about Saturn and its quality.

People think that the Saturn mahadasha and the sade sati will finish a person’s growth and they can not prosper during that operating period.

Shani Dev / Saturn is a teacher called Karmadata and he keeps a person in check by awarding for good karma and punishing for bad karma ( actions ).

There is misconception that moon and Jupiter is good planet and so any one can wear the ring of yellow sapphire for Jupiter and a pearl for moon.

This is completely wrong as if the Jupiter and the or the moon is signifying bad houses in their horoscope then it will create havoc in their life.

People feel that one should not directly wear a blue sapphire ring as it may cause problems and to check that the society knowledge people says that one should keep the blue sapphire gemstone in their pocket for 7 days and see if any bad / wrong incident is happening with them or not. If one stumble while walking due to their own fault then also they should think that its due to the wrong blue sapphire gemstone and should avoid wearing the ring.

In another method society people say that one should keep the blue sapphire gemstone under their pillow while sleeping at night for 7 days and if they have bad dream then then they should avoid using it for ring.

This is very funny misconception about understand a gemstone for remedy.

BUT the society’s misconception knowledge is more powerful than the real knowledge of Vedic astrology and so people still go much with their mis-conceptional knowledge more. CAN’T HELP.

Many people are scared about the rahu and ketu mahadasha also and feel that they will face worst difficulties during that period.

This is because when a person is learning the basic astrology then they are taught about good and bad planet in general to start with. But when one learns the advance Vedic astrology then they understand that every planet is good, bad and neutral. They act as per their significances as per that horoscope.

Now what I am about to speak is very very important for people in this modern world.

There are very clever and intellectual people who thinks that they can plan their child birth by consulting a good Vedic astrologer and get good time for their child’s birth and thus the child will have custom made best destiny and will be most powerful child of the future who will have all kind of wealth and knowledge and will live a very happy and beautiful life.

This is absolutely rubbish.

This cannot happen so. GOD has not given the power to human being ( astrologer ) to decide the destiny of a human being and customize it as per the need of the parents. NO no no no. NOT POSSIBLE.

But as I said that the society misconception knowledge is more powerful than real Vedic astrology and so many people still go the astrologer to plan their baby birth timing and gets looted by the fake / fraud / quack astrologers.

I hope that readers will get some insight and understand about some of the misconceptions about Vedic astrology.
