Scope of Astrology

The terrain of astrology and astrologers remains a bit shrouded in
mystery. Astrologers often fathom and tell about an individual to an
uncanny extent and some do well in quizzes etc. and even in live
cases. However, there is never a guarantee, never that near 100%
success that would seem to indicate that a 'technique' is involved.
Technique is always transferable to others. For basic astrology, yes
that is the case and there is definitely a technical aspect to
astrology. That is the absolute essential matriculation that no one
can get away with, slogging through! No short cuts, there, I am
afraid!

But then everyone seems to kind of part company and goes their own
slightly different ways. That is when sometimes 'claims' start
floating without demonstration. A veil of secrecy somehow falls on
some and cliques and silos form. Some silos grow but then begin to
form sub-silos and so on. The demonstrated performance of astrology
or astrologer, does not shine forth, though!

Astrology and astrologer it seems never matures! More often than not,
before the astrologer can mature into perfection, they find another
door that leads them to spiritual realities. This is fine, because I
have heard reputable astrologers state that that is the natural
course of things.

Someone please tell me that I am wrong and they have actually
experienced in their personal experience an astrologer, who was not a
divinator or spiritual yogi who just happened to be using astrology
as a launching pad. One who could really pick a chart and actually
see the nativity and his or her fate as it was written by the Scribe
Himself (or Herself or Itself...).

Astrology spans from the material to the immaterial and beyond. It is
claimed to capture in its essence the entire universe and more, and
all the realities that there are, some known others unknown. Past
liftimes and future lifetimes.

Even Einstein, it seems was a 'determinist'. He believed in
everything being fated! I had been reading a very interesting book
written by a quantum physicist, Kaku. The book is Parallel Worlds.
Brilliant guys these quantum physicists! Big E is quoted therein.

It deals with the possibilities of parallel universes and many other
subtle things that astrologers would really enjoy I think! There are
hints there to think about for us about karma and destiny and a model
that can be utilized to possibly explain or at least entertain why
this entire reality can be based on pure determinism and everything
being fated and yet make sense! This is one thing I have always
resisted against because if everything is fated, what is the point of
astrology and remedies and muhurtas and so on. But there could be
another much BIGGER framework which may actually make it all work!
And it also accommodates the extremely humble "I am nimitta matra,
Sai sabda khiyaal rakhdaa" point of view!

It also touches upon how Newtonian Reality and Quantum reality can
coexist and just be a manifestation of probability!
