Astrology & Science
Bharat Bhushan Padmadeo
Astrology the functional tool of
Spirituality
• Astrology is not a belief driven discipline.
•It is not speculative either.
• It does not bind you to the limits of Destiny.
• It is a dynamic discipline operative at much deeper
level than is usually perceived.
• It serves as functional tool of Spirituality to sets the
ground for corrective initiatives right from the base
level, and build up the self, thus qualifying one to add
value and quality to the collective worth and wisdom of
our group existence.
What determines success or failure




Failure or Success is subject to the way we
conduct ourselves and not simply because we
would be born at bad or fortunate moments.
That is dependent on how our thought plane
would be framed in correspondence with our
elemental framework.
Imbalances if any at elemental level may cause
disorientation of mind or physical ailments.
Astrology could identify these imbalances for
necessary corrective initiatives to drive mind
towards the right end.
Rationale based Indian wisdom



The best are always confused; while
the worst are full of passionate
intensity.
Wisdom, especially in Indian tradition
evolved through continued debates.
Therefore our ancient wisdom
emerged on proven rationale rather
than being based on belief or faith.
Oriental tools & Perspective





Ancient Indians believed in realising the truth of
life and applying them in practical terms.
The intuitive tool were based on the nondualistic
philosophy where in God and Man are one and
that every point in the space is intimately
connected to each other.
Accordingly they explored their Mind at much
higher and deeper level to tune up Individual
Consciousness to Super Consciousness and
thereby have access to the basic construct of life.
The concept is still incomprehensible by the
modern world.
Hence the disconnect between Science and
Astrology.
Scientific findings of today known
to the Ancient India





Relation between Matter and Energy needs
to be established for Science to proceed
further.
That time frame at different planes were
relative.
These two facts form the basis of
Einstein’s theory of Relativity.
Fred Hoyle’s theory vindicated the Indian
concept of “Yat Brahmande Tat Pindam”
(As is the cosmos so is the body).
Ten dimensional space frame work is in
day to day practice in India.
Consciousness as Material force



What determines average
expectancy of lives of different
species in existence.
Consciousness quantifies our life
space.
Science shall be able to quantify the
Material consciousness soon if not
Super consciousness.
History of Astrology





The exercise begins with the quest for
comprehending weather cycle.
It was realised that the Sun’s annular cycle read
together with variations caused by other
planetary bodies govern the weather cycle.
Numerals followed by Mathematics got conceived
to formulate Astrology.
So, Astrology was the first evidence of logical
thinking and structured approach to Life Matters.
In a way it laid the ground for Science to emerge.
The Energy Orchestra




Three modes of energies – Rajas (Action-the
giver-the masculine); Tamas (Inertia-the takerthe feminine) and Sat (Neutral-the carrier)
emerged out of saturated form of energy
available at the Primordial source in course of
intermittent agitation at that end.
The chain reaction of energy that followed
progressively manifested itself as Energy
providers in the form of Planets and Stars.
That followed formations of four elements Fire,
Earth, Air & Water to form our physical frame.
It gets enlivened by Consciousness.
Manifestation of Energy at various
levels




Life is made out of energy.
At one level, it forms our gross body.
At higher level it becomes Mind.
At still higher level it becomes
Intelligence.
The basis of Astrology




Astrology is a graphical reflection energies in
vogue at the time of one’s birth that excites the
trend of life.
The emerging mind frame and life trends are
comprehended in terms of progression of ever
moving planetary bodies in the time frame.
The planets are important not merely as physical
bodies but the energies they make available
directly or through Moons around and the
auxiliary bodies in vicinity.
The planets are read in the backdrop of Zodiacal
signs, each sign meaning a cluster of distant
stars to together present a picture of energy
frame influencing our lives.
Impact of different planetary bodies




Energy available from every planetary
body emits radiations identified with a
particular wavelength and frequency.
Every particular energy excites a
particular corresponding point in the brain.
Every point of the brain administers set
function of the body, mind and psyche.
That is how these energies influence our
day to day life.
The role of Astrology




The energies our available in equal
proportion.
Our absorption level however varies
depending on the basic fabric of our
making that differentiates one from the
other.
The imbalances at the energy level remain
the cause for all mental and physical
deficiencies.
Astrology could help identify the
imbalances for corrective initiatives if
necessary.
Structure of Planets





The distant planets -Uranus, Neptune and the TransNeptunians to the set the intellectual frame and psyche.
The outer circle planets - Saturn, Jupiter & Mars that sets
the course of Karma, Wisdom, and our efforts level.
The inner circle planets – The Sun, Venus & Mercury to
reflect upon our Will & Resolve; Intent & Purpose; &
Intelligence.
The Reflector – The Moon that determines the culmination
of planetary influence over the self to determine one’s
personality.
The Nodes – The points of convergence of two planes, the
Elliptic and the Equator that maintains continuum between
our successive lives.
The time frame







Every time frame corresponds to some periodic
cosmic movement.
Yuga corresponds to the Precession of Equinoxes
cycle that reflects upon the general awareness
and intelligence level of people.
Year corresponds to annular solar motion.
Months corresponds to relative 360 degrees
displacement of Moon with respect to the Sun.
A day corresponds to 12 degrees relative
displacement of the Moon with respect to the
Sun.
A day is divided into 24 horas.
The day is also divided into multiples of 60.
