As we go beyond our
culture and traditions we find an important tradition to follow with respect to
start of every task we do is reference to panchanga. Even though people in the
modern days say it as a myth or something which doesn’t comply with modern
science, it still exists. But if we think on its principles we can see that
most of its sayings were found to have been proved in the course of time starting
from the proofs shown by Nicolas Copernicus of sun centred theory to all the
recent time discoveries in astronomy. He are a few basic things to know what
astrology is all about and it’s relation with modern as astronomy.
In antiquity, people noticed that the majority of stars were stationary in respect to each other. They called these stars “fixed”. They observed that there were five visible stars which in contrast to the others, were revolving about the Earth, confined to a narrow line. This line, called the ecliptic, loops around the Earth at a certain angle. In fact, the ecliptic is the same line traversed by the Sun, the Moon and the five visible stars. Gradually astrologers divided the belt of the ecliptic into 12 sections and named each one of them after the fixed stars’ constellations that they observed “behind”
them. Most of them are named after animals, where specific characteristics best describe the energy, emanated from each constellation. This is how the Zodiac was born.
Furthermore, men observed that when a planet passes through a certain section of the Zodiac it triggers certain events. Babies born at this time share the same characteristics. In their constant travel along the ecliptic, planets move from one sign of the Zodiac to another. After some period of time they “return” to the same sign where they were previously. Babies born in different years, but during the time, when a particular planet is passing through the same sign of the Zodiac, also show very similar traits, pertaining to the domain ruled by this planet. For example, Mercury is the planet that rules the mind and communications. In the Greek mythology Mercury is represented by Hermes, who is always depicted as the “winged messenger” of God or in other words he is the intermediate, the one, conducting the communication between Gods and humans. As another example Venus is the planet ruling the harmony, unison and love between people. Greeks called her Aphrodite, the Goddess of love – ideal, familiar and sexual.
So when our ancestors have created this I believe it will have some
meaning in it. If these things are not known to modern day sciences is it the
mistake of our ancestors. But taking the right thing from it and not falling in
a trap or myth is in our hands. Common friends!! When movement of planet will
have an influence on our surroundings why not on us???????
