ASTROLOGY AND SPIRITUALITY: BOTH NECESSARY FOR ATTAINMENT OF A GOOD LIFE

Astrology may help an individual to find solutions for the ups and downs of a life to an extent but, but can’t change destiny. Through astrology, we can identify which of our planets and constellations might be retrograde or exalted and make some changes in our life, but we cannot get rid of the effects of the planetary situations. Everything can be achieved through spirituality.
The maturity of the soul can be understood on the basis of spirituality. Astrology can be very helpful in knowing this. Can a person get a Guru or not? It is also possible to know how spiritual a person can be.
Spirituality and astrology both are different. Through spirituality we can try to reach or meet the supreme power we call God. At every stage of our life, we can make life safer and more sorted. Our spiritual perspective helps us to lead a simple and better life. The ultimate aim of human life is to be in union with God. This is called salvation. By using astrology, we can study the possibilities hidden in the horoscope of a particular person. We can know the possibilities of achieving spiritual level.
As what auspicious or inauspicious a horoscope may be able to tell, similarly the assessment of a person’s religious faith and spiritual progress can also be known from the study of the horoscope. We don’t know why we were born? Why are we living this life? What will happen to us after death?

The planet Sun represents the power of the soul and the welfare of the soul. It also represents the experiences that the soul experienced before taking on a human body.
Ketu represents interest in life after death. It represents the spiritual knowledge acquired by the individual from past lives.
