Astrology - Frequently Asked Questions

Astrology studies how the positions of planets and stars may influence human life. Astrologers create a birth chart (based on date, time, and place of birth) and interpret planetary placements and aspects to reveal personality traits, life patterns, strengths, and potential challenges.

A birth chart (also called a kundli or natal chart) is a map of where the Sun, Moon, planets, and important points were located at the exact moment of your birth. It is used to analyze personality, career, relationships, health patterns, and future trends.

Accuracy depends on correct birth details (exact time/place) and the astrologer’s experience. Astrology isn't a science, but many people find it insightful for self-understanding and identifying likely trends or behavioral patterns.

Zodiac signs are twelve divisions of the sky based on the Sun’s apparent path. Each sign roughly corresponds to these dates (may vary by a day depending on year): Aries (Mar 21–Apr 19), Taurus (Apr 20–May 20), Gemini (May 21–Jun 20), Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22), Leo (Jul 23–Aug 22), Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22), Libra (Sep 23–Oct 22), Scorpio (Oct 23–Nov 21), Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21), Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 19), Aquarius (Jan 20–Feb 18), Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20).

Astrology doesn’t predict exact events with certainty. Instead, it identifies likely trends, opportunities, and challenges so you can make better-informed choices. It’s guidance, not a fixed script.

Vedic astrology (Indian) uses the sidereal zodiac and emphasizes karma and precise predictive techniques. Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac and often emphasizes psychological interpretation and personality analysis.

A horoscope is a general forecast based on your Sun sign (daily, weekly, or monthly) that offers guidance about career, relationships, finances, and health. For personalized accuracy, use a full birth chart reading.

Astrologers provide guidance on career choices, relationships, financial planning, health warnings, choosing auspicious dates, and clarifying life purpose. They help interpret a birth chart and suggest practical remedies or timing strategies.

Doshas are challenging planetary conditions in a birth chart. Common examples: Mangal Dosha (Manglik), Kaal Sarp Dosha, and Pitra Dosha. They can influence marriage, health, and success; remedies and rituals are often recommended to mitigate their effects.

Remedies include mantras, gemstones, pujas, yantras, donations, and lifestyle changes designed to balance planetary energies. Remedies should be recommended by an experienced astrologer based on the specific chart.

Astrology can indicate tendencies toward stress, emotional patterns, or chronic predispositions, which helps with preventive care. It is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.

Provide exact birth date, exact birth time, and birthplace. Accurate time is especially important — even minutes can change house cusps and the Moon’s placement.
