How To Judge A Good Astrologer
Why Astrology Seems to be Losing Its Sheen Despite Being Ancient and Authentic
Astrology is one of the most ancient and authentic sciences, yet its reputation seems to be fading in modern times. The reason for this isn’t the science of astrology itself but rather the way it is practiced and perceived. There are two main factors contributing to this decline:
- The Practitioners of Astrology: The credibility of astrology has been affected by individuals who practice it without proper knowledge or experience.
- Choosing the Right Astrologer: Many people struggle to identify a genuine astrologer who can offer accurate and meaningful insights. It’s crucial to use your own wisdom when selecting an astrologer.
As an astrologer myself, I aim to provide you with a clear, practical approach to understanding what makes an astrologer trustworthy, rather than delving into technical astrological terms. Once you know how to identify a good astrologer, they will take care of the astrological details.
What Makes a Good Astrologer?
A good astrologer must adhere to several key principles:
Connection Between Past and Present: A competent astrologer should know how to connect your current horoscope with past life deeds. Astrology is a reflection of one’s karmas, and a lack of understanding in this area indicates a gap in knowledge.
Accurate Birth Time Verification: Even a one-minute error in birth details can lead to flawed predictions. A good astrologer should always verify your birth time by making some preliminary observations before offering any in-depth analysis. Accurate birth time is critical to precise predictions.
Astrological Knowledge and Practical Experience: A qualified astrologer should have a background in mathematical calculations. They should be skilled in interpreting astrological charts based on experience, intuition, and study. Mathematical accuracy is essential for precise predictions.
Balanced Predictions: A good astrologer won’t focus solely on negative aspects of your chart. Every horoscope contains both positive and negative elements, and a skilled astrologer should guide you on pacifying the negative influences while maximizing the benefits of the positive ones.
Understanding Planetary Transits: A good astrologer knows that planetary transits can significantly influence outcomes, even from negative planets. Ignoring these movements while only focusing on the static birth chart is a sign of an incomplete analysis.
In-Depth Chart Reading: Astrologers should not limit their analysis to the Lagna (D-1) chart. They should delve into specific divisional charts for a comprehensive understanding of various life aspects, as divisional charts provide detailed insights beyond the basic Lagna chart.
How to Find a Good Astrologer
Finding a good astrologer requires careful consideration. Here are a few tips:
- Avoid Geographical Bias: Don’t choose an astrologer solely based on location. A good astrologer can provide insightful readings regardless of where they are located.
- Personal Involvement: Ensure that the astrologer is personally conducting the reading, not delegating it to juniors.
- Qualifications: Verify the astrologer’s qualifications, especially in Falit Jyotish, and don’t hesitate to ask for proof if needed.
- Experience: Practical experience is essential for interpreting charts accurately.
- Reputation: Look for third-party references and testimonials beyond their own marketing materials.
Birth Time Accuracy in Astrology
I start each consultation by ensuring that your birth time is accurate. Even a slight error can affect predictions, particularly in charts like D-60, where ascendants change every minute. If you’re uncertain about your birth details, I recommend resolving this first, as accurate predictions depend on it.
This is just a glimpse into how I approach astrology with a focus on karmic correction and personalized guidance. To learn more about how negative planetary influences can be turned into positives and the importance of precise birth details, feel free to explore the links provided on my website.
