Vedic astrology is accurate and true because it manifested from the Lord at the time of the creation of this universe. The Jyotisha Shastra states, SAPHALAM JYOTISHAM SHASTRAM CHANDRARKO YATRA SAKSINAU, “As long as the sun and moon shine in this creation, the science of astrology will remain fruitful.” To correctly calculate a person’s astrological predictions, it is best to begin by using the person’s exact birth date and time. Using this information a qualified astrologer reveals what a person’s astrological name is, and the astrologer uses the first letter of that name to further calculate the person’s horoscope. If a person does not know their exact birth date and time, but goes to a qualified astrologer for his/her horoscope, the prediction will be only 30%- 40% correct, providing the astrologer is competent. There are many categorical and different horoscopes for one name, even for twins, because they are not born at the same moment. Even though a person may have taken his/her birth under a particular astrological star as many others have, they will have different horoscopes because an astrological star stays for a period of time, whereas the astrological planets for a particular star change in minutes. Therefore each person’s life, fortune and nature is foretold differently, even though they may have been born under the same star. If a person finds some negative things in their horoscope predictions, they need not panic, because one reason for horoscope predictions is to alert the person of future misfortune, which the person can become careful about avoiding.
It is always best to find a qualified astrologer and give them your exact birth date and time to obtain your correct horoscope predictions. A person’s name not given as per the star at the time of their birth will only give a gross prediction. Let us follow this tradition and seek out a devotee who will help us become alert physically, socially, materially, and spiritually.
By following the guidance of an authentic Guru, the unwanted influence of astrological planets do not affect that person, therefore it is best to become a sincere devotee under the guidance of an authentic Guru who is in an unbroken chain of disciplic succession connected to Lord Krsna.
