There are several methods of doing astrology.Sri Yukteswars method (constructing a chart from the moment of conception.) is quite revolutionary since as an astrologer i have never heard of it till he came along. Without intuitive wisdom who can tell the exact nite your mother and father slept together unprotected? Yet there is still much to be said for the moment a child takes its first breath in this world and is independent of the mother. Astrological charts can be made for any specific time asking questions or for events. There is much proof for astrology ' s significance by events such as birth as well as many other events. It often surprises me to read people's explanations for astrology with very limited knowledge. Somewhat like reading the tabloids for a reading based on the sun signs.

Something else amazes me and that is people being influenced by predictions. Astrology is much much more then predictions and we must remember that though we have free will and by God's grace things can be changed ... nevertheless the future past and present are happening simultaneously. Knowing the future is somewhat like the astrologers finding Christ's birth place or Jesus knowing his future. You see to a spiritual aspirant the future is all 'good'. All things are working towards our enlightenment. If they are difficult sometimes they are much more helpful. If they are easy sometimes we fall back. So you see duality is a part of the astrological landscape. In the true sense good and bad are only relativity ' s of the human mind. The way we react to events beyond our control determines our future based on our free will choices. This in turn effects our progress more or less rapid on the spiritual path.
