Astrology is an art of interpreting the reputed esoteric influence of stars/planets on human affairs. It is called the divine science and it enables one to peep into the mysterious future. It has many branches like horoscope reading, palmistry, transit, prasna (horary), varshphala (annual horoscope), etc. The most accurate and dependable one is the horoscope reading, which is linked to the birth time of the individual. In this system, the planetary position as at the time of birth is noted for interpreting the results of various aspects of life.

Astrology has its origin in the Vedas and is presently studied all over the world. There are different systems in operation and-the best one is the Vedic System of Astrology. In this system also there are number of sub-systems or schools of thought but the most time tested is the one given by Maharishi Parashara, especially when studied through the Systems’ Approach (SA). The comprehension of the system from the classical texts is somewhat difficult and the attempt of the authors is to initiate the interested readers for easy comprehension of the subject.

The vedic system of astrology is based on the premise that the natal position of planets is dependent on the past Karma (actions) of the human beings and helps in indicating picture of the life of the person concerned. It also believes that the horoscope/natal chart of the person tells us whether the malefic influences can be warded off or reduced. It believes in strengthening of the weak planets to augment their better effects and to reduce the extent of miseries.

The interpretations are dependent on the position of planets in the heavens at the time of birth as well as the time of interpretation. The positions as at birth are known as natal or radical positions while the positions at the time of interpretation on a subsequent date or dates are known as transit position of planets with reference to a birth chart.

Astrology is both a science and an art. It is a science as its principles of determining planetary positions and planetary periods are based on mathematical systems and even the predictive tolls are universally applicable. It is an art to blend the numerous techniques available to an astrologer for predictions depending upon the place and time. The difference in opinion of various astrologers is because of the difference in comprehension analytical approach and expression power of the different individual astrologers.
