Saraswati Vedic Astro Point . 2.08

Your SOUL has chosen the b-time, date, and place and the family depending on your own past karma to pay off both good and bad karma. It is a firm belief that your this life "so called" destiny/fate is your OWN past life Karma. You can undo what you have done thru good deeds or sufferings. Sometimes it is your choice (good deeds versus sufferings) sometime it isn't but mind you -- everything that happens to you is your OWN karma.

An Astrologer is not to avoid/bypass fruits of karma but to understand the karmic burden portrayed by a horoscope. The information you have in your conscience but not able to retrieve it easily! For example: Astrologer is not to tell when you will get married but when you should get married and what karma you should do before that. Forgive and Forget and Shraddha and Saboori (Patienve and perseverance) are the two most important Mantras! :)

The best use of astrology is to understand strengths and weaknesses. It allows you to understand attitudes/psychology of a given person with just a horoscope (b-date, b-time b-place!) without meeting/talking to the person! This is the greatest kick that Astrology can give you.
