The very reason you are reading this posting is a clear indication that you have this question, "Astrology a science or stupidity?"
Believe me you are not alone. Whole lot of people would think about this topic, most of them would come to a wrong conclusion, either astrology is stupidity because their rational mind may not allow them to accept it or others may blindly follow astrology, without giving due to respect to their thinking process, which leads them to stupidity.
Lets approach this topic in a scientific way so that we can come to right kind of conclusion at the end.
Law of Conservation of Energy says "Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it simply converts itself from one form to another". I believe everyone will agree about this statement.
Lets say, Now I am existing or alive, after sometime if I die, which simply means with in the boundaries of the universe my energy is transformed into something else. It can not be traced as such. So When I am alive I have energy in particle form, where in I had a form and structure, People could see and recognise me. When I die I have transformed myself into waveform, a energy level where I could not be traced with in the existing knowledge of scientific advancements.
But dogs could sense the energy at this level. Have you noticed dog can sense this level of energy? The dog will cry in a house where there is a death with in their family members, it could see that form of energy(Invisible Spectrum).
Now where is the link? The reason for our birth in this planet has meaning, it is controlled by our past karma or deeds where we take present life in a given family, in a given situation, dots are perfectly matched. You could ask me a question, How Could I am so sure about this?
There is a giant Mainframe computer in the form nature which takes care all these things, where in we don't have the knowledge to understand or comprehend about such thing, which could be mind boggling, beyond us. That's ability of the nature, it could connect all dots perfectly.
Example: Say if you have been asked to unite a calf to his the mother cow, in herd of 1000. If you try to use your knowledge you will not succeed. But then If you could let go the calf, it would automatically get reunited with mother cow. That's nature, it could track and map things in perfect manner, we don't have comprehension understand how things are connected.
Now back to the point of discussion so its clear that we are born based on the kind of karma we have done that's why people are different with respect to their family and social circumstances. Everyone has a unique life. You Could ask what if, if we know about our family and friends about our earlier life. The answer is very simple, even without complexity, we make our life so miserable, if we come to know about earlier life also, it will pour oil to the fire. Our confusion increase many fold, we will loose focus of our present birth.
That's why when we are born, nature gives a clean chip (our mind) without knowledge about our past karma or birth, with basic programming into the hardware (Our body). The basic programming regulates our body function, such as breathing, heart beats, digestion of food, without command.
The reason for our birth is Fire & Water. Fire represents sun or father, where as Water represents Moon or Mother. When these two join life is created.
Fire - its vital energy in the solar system, where all living things gets energy from the sun.
Water- Our planet is unique because, the only planet which has liquid water.
Moon represents (Multi billion dollar study by NASA points to the fact that moon had rivers/ may contain water in other side of the moon).
Its a well known fact that moon is responsible for creating weather pattern in planet earth. The Gravitational force between Earth and Moon is responsible for maintaining and regulating the earth temperature and rain fall. Because of moon only tides are created, tides are ones which causes ocean currents, in turn leads to cloud formation and leads to rain fall. So without moon earth would have been desert like Mars or it could have been frozen like Pluto.
Gravitational force is everywhere!. Say in atomic level or Micro Level, this is the force which keeps electron in orbit, there by creating different elements. Say in Macro level this is force which keeps solar system on track. If Gravitational force is too weak, earth would have drifted away from sun, frozen. Life would have perished. Similarly if it is too strong it would crashed to sun. Neither happened, earth and other planets are in orbit because of gravitational force, which is a well known fact.
Can we see gravitational force? No We can't right? Just because we can't see doesn't mean that its not there! it is there but we could only verify we don't comprehensive knowledge to understand its true entity with the present knowledge and technological advancements. Now Other planet also has influence on earth, just because we can't see, it does not mean its not there!. It is there.
I understand you want the proof? Do you know that earth has natural protection from comets or asteroid belts? How and by what means? ...Yes Gas giant Jupiter saves earth from these kind of terrible attackers from outer space. That is why Jupiter is treated like guru or teacher, which saves us from many problems and guides us in the right direction
I think you are loosing patience. I could sense your impatience... Lets connect all dots together..
When we take a birth in a particular place in a particular time, that place has its own level vibration of sun and Moon influence, which is again matched by nature (Dots connected based on Karma, where, when, to whom we should be born as Son or daughter). Influence of other planetary object on earth is undeniable though can not be scientifically proven, because we may not have scientific knowledge at this point to understand.
So its clear the moment we were born the combined influence planets on a particular location as impact on our life. Because
Sun represents our soul / Ego /Father ( The position of sun decides whether our soul understands our purpose of existence in this planet)
Moon represents our Mind / Mother /Sensitivity (The position will decide, what will be our mental status, in this life)
Mars represents our siblings / Physical stamina
Venus represents wife / Comforts of life
Mercury represents our intelligence / Uncle / Friends
Jupiter represents our Teachers / Luck in this life
Saturn represents our servants / Hard work or work Place
Rahu..represents our obsession in life
Ketu represents our indifference in life
So based on this our life can be tracked .. we can take direction in life, to attain the ultimate salvation (Which may not be possible to most of us!)
It is true science ... it can clearly indicate and give answers to
who we are... what we are.. why we are....How we are... When we are....
But we have to ask the right person to ask this questions...Otherwise we will make fool out of ourselves!
