अप्रत्यक्षाणि शास्त्राणि विवादस्तेषु केवलं |
प्रत्यक्षं ज्योतिषं शास्त्रं चन्द्रार्को यत्र साक्षिणो ||
apratyakshaani sastraani vivaadasteshu kevalam
pratyaksham jyotisham sastram chandraarko yatra saakshino
Apratyaksha Sastra
is only speculative, being provable only by theorizing and discussions. Jyotisham
is a Pratyaksha Shastra as Surya and Chandra are its witness.
Why Sun and Moon are
called visual proof for above? It is a fact
that a Tithi (a lunar day) is calculated from the relative distance
between Chandra and Surya, as viewed on the celestial equator. Anyone can see Sun and Moon from earth and
their relative distance (in degrees) can be measured by Spherical Trigonometry.
Moon is given at par
importance with Lagnam (Ascendant). Moon’s
strength plays important role in giving strength to all planets.

Life and Astrology
यदा ह्येकेन चक्रेण रथस्य न गतिर भवेत
तद्वत पुरुष कारेण विना दैवं न सिद्ध्यति
Astrology and Human life
Everyone in this Universe is unique. They have different needs, thoughts and different ways of life.
You need to perform two types of actions to accomplish anything in the world (wealth, health, success, career, goal, aim, mission etc.). One is visible action and another is invisible action. For example, for a person aiming for success in exams, his visible action is the effort that goes into his studies and invisible action is his connection with The Supreme or in other words God’s blessings (derived through prayers, meditation, religious activities, remedies for previous karma etc.).
