Astrology - it is a science as old as our civilization.

Many people believe it to be effective and some don't.

It's really good to play your life on your beliefs but sometimes, a deeper truth to life is hidden at unseen places, just if you're curious enough.

You being here on this page itself is more than enough proof for me about your curiousness.


I'm going to give you the evident truth of astrology, in case you're not a believer.


First of all let me clear some facts which are going to play as the foundational proof of 'astrology' having effects on every life.


Obviously you know the earth is 80% water approximately.

But, even beneath the earth there's ground water and the 'life' - organisms walking or crawling, on earth are too made up of almost 80% water and look at ourselves, we're 80% water even our brains are 80% water. Even the plants & trees are mostly water and imagine the water logged in the form of ice and snow all over the earth.

What I'm trying to say is earth is more than 80% water cumulatively. See through my eyes for once.


Another fact,

Do you know the tides and ebbs of the seas and oceans around the earth are relatively affected by the moon? I.e. the moon is responsible for the tides and ebbs & on the day of full moon, the tidal effects are at peak. You must be knowing this too, most probably!

If moon can have this tremendously noticeable effects on the water on our entire planet, why can't it have effects on us?

The earth is 80% water, our body is 80% water so is our brain!

It's the gravity of the moon that causes it all.

Now gravity is such a subject which is existent, everybody knows that obviously, but nobody knows why! Even the fundamental particle of gravity - gravitron is only a hypothetical particle even now.

Gravity is considered to be the weakest force in the nature but such that it has its effects irrespective of space and time. You must be wondering that if gravity isn't dependent on space or distance, how isn't earth revolving any other star but Sun?! Well, I did say gravity has its effects on everything irrespective of space but I didn't say that the effect remains the same.

It keeps on getting weaker with distance but it never ceases to exist.

Earth rotates at an axial velocity of 1670 km/hr and revolves around the sun at 30km/sec.

So, imagine a minute gravitational pull of a star millions of light years away affecting earth is negligible but not null. It's own gravitational pull and centrifugal force along with our Sun's pull leaves zero effect of the far away star, on earth.

Imagine earth to be a living organism for a sec, considering her mammoth size compared to us, her perception of time will be tremendously faster than us.

If you don't know, the smaller you get the slower you experience time. House flies experience very slow time. Even Einstein said, if we'd be able to travel at the speed of light, our size would shrink to the size of few thousand molecules.

So now you do agree that time Is relative to size! Right?


For earth, one complete rotation would be a few seconds but for us it's 24hours.

And for her to revolve around the sun it must be 24 hours and for us a year.

If nobody told you that the earth revolves around the sun, would you have ever known the truth all by yourself, if you weren't an Einstein-brained-creature? Obviously no.

Quite similarly, gravity is the reason we experience night & day (caused by the rotation of earth which 'WE' experience)

And gravity is also the reason earth changes her colour with the seasons ( caused by revolving around the sun, her tan changes, climate changes).

So, here's the proof that we experience what earth experiences-seasons&climates, but earth doesn't experience what we experience-night and day.

My friend, that's exactly how, we experience gravitational effects of different planets, asteroids and distant stars but the earth doesn't.

Negligible for earth but effective enough for us, it's just that we don't know it yet just like we wouldn't know if the earth really revolves around the sun.


If earth gets closer to Sun, the earth gets warmer and cold when far away. We are warm when we laugh our hearts out and we're comparatively cold when we're silent and at peace. Earth gets scorching hot by overheating in summers and freezing cold during extreme winters. Likewise, we turn hot with increased blood pressure when angry and become numb and cold when depressed. You see, just the expressions of experiences are different, comparing us and earth, but whether it's the earth or us, the experiences give results in the same terms- " emotions " . And we all know, we're all emotional beings.

Earth is so large that her "emotions" are mainly manipulated by the sun & the moon, but in case of humans (whom I consider to be the only 'alien' organism in our solar system who is unique like no other organism) the causes of different seasons and weathers (I mean emotions) are the direct and indirect results of planetary arrangements & obviously of the sun too.

See, this is how astrology is a real science and just wonder why you've never been told or taught about it anywhere earlier & why do the conceptions of astrology just being a spiritual superstition exists.


There are direct and indirect influences of the planets in our day to day lives which is still hard to believe only because our belief system has been working on what we've been taught & made to believe. There are many such things which we possess and aren't even aware of.

Direct results- instant mood swings and highly vivid unexplained arising of emotions whom we mostly tend to give underrated reasons but we know in our heart that those emotions were a result of our 'unique' madness. And my beloved brothers & sisters, every single being on earth is uniquely mad. Some are mad enough to be noticeable and some aren't mostly because we're busy entangled in our own madness!

The indirect results are quite complex which I confess I myself don't understand them completely but will try explaining them in my next articles.


So, you see these are the effects of heavenly bodies on our earthly buddies. The very next doubt you must be having is whether these effects are good or bad? Well, this is a world of duality. If there's high there's low, if there's hard there's soft, if there's dark then there's light, if there's day there's night. So yes there are good and bad effects of these space balls which I'll elaborate later.


This is astrology according to the people but by my perspective, it's not astrology, its an extension of ourselves. The outerverse represents the innerverse.

We all have heard the famous quote - " know thyself ", we read it and get the nostalgic feeling of the world to be so huge and life to be so short to be in our own petty struggles of day to day lives that we really just don't know what "know thyself" means. There are many means to understand ourselves and anything that gives you a more clearer glimpse of yourself for refining the glimpse even more, is ALCHEMY.

This is ancient science of our species belonging to no religion or faith but a cause, a cause to make our world a better place to live and give the real meaning to our lives.

This is VedicAlchemy.
