Introduction to Astrology- 1

Hello again,

Are you people expecting that I will start posting about what is astrology and what are the types, how it came. etc. Then here you go, I will not tell them all as I am straight away going to explain you about things which are actually Important for you to understand about Astrology.

Astrology has three major parts which has been divided based on the impacts. They are as below:
 1) Siddhanta :  Siddhanta means a Rules. This are the base for the planetary position analysis.
 2) Samhita:  This is a way of prediction that will explain about the affects that will happen on earth due to the Environment. This will help us for predicting important events related to countries such as war, earthquakes, political events, financial positions, electional astrology, house and construction related matters (Vāstu Shāstra), animals, portents, omens, and so on.
 3) Hora:  This the most important term which is widely distributed and which is affecting the people's mind and life. This is also called as predictive astrology. I will be explaining this at the first and rest in the later stages.

So let me start up with the Rashi which is called as Zodiac Signs and how seeing a kundali chart can you decide which Rashi you belong to.

There are 12 Rashi's classified based on the degrees in the system. Each Rashi has 30 Degree Divisions in celestial longitude. So at the end of the 12 zodiac sign the 330degree. Let us first know what are those 12 zodiac signs known as.
  1. Aries
  2. Taurus
  3. Gemini
  4. Cancer
  5. Leo
  6. Virgo
  7. Libra
  8. Scorpio
  9. Sagittarius
  10. Capricorn
  11. Aquarius
  12. Pisces
Based on the  above matter's i.e. Degree division and name, here is the table that shows the exact way of divisions for Rashi's:

Sl NO
Long. Symbol Zodiac Name Sanskrit name
1 Aries Meṣha 
2 30° Taurus Vṛiṣabha 
3 60° Gemini Mithuna 
4 90° Cancer Karkaṭa 
5 120° Leo Siṃha 
6 150° Virgo Kanyā 
7 180° Libra Tula

9 240° Sagittarius Dhanus 
10 270° Capricorn Makara

Just one thing to remember, Always ensure to have these 12 remembered, based on the date or birth, these division are also been made and some characteristics are also been made. I will be telling those as well in the coming blogs. Remember one thing, do not go and start telling about the predictions at this stage. You need to keep practicing until you are familiar with the positions and the roles.

Keep me posted with your comments for improvisation. Thanks and have a good time. "Sarve janaaha Sukhinoo Bhavanthu" (Let all the people in this world be happy).
