Time is said to be the administering tool of the divine. For, it reflects the varying dynamics of energy-flux excited by nature every successive moment, all through its run. And all aspects of our dynamic existence are rooted in the nature-driven energies. Both ancient Indian philosophy and the modern physics agree on one point: that it is through the play and interplay of nature-driven energies that the whole existential order has come into being.
In fact, a being with a solid perceptible frame, when seen at sub-atomic level, is nothing but a web of vibrating energy patterns, all primarily sourced to nature. These energy patterns are so interwoven into an interdependent mechanism that no individual component has a reality independent of the totality. And together they make out a being with form and name. Obviously, therefore, there remains energy connect between a being and the cosmos.
Now coming back to Indian perception of time, to which the discipline of astrology subscribes, all units of time are primarily scaled to the periodic motion of the Sun and Moon. The macro frame — the concept of Yuga — however, runs in correspondence with the precision of equinoxes, an established astronomical phenomenon. It is pertinent to note here that the Sun, Moon and other planets should not be seen just as physical objects moving in the cosmos. They are markers, each identified with energy streams routed through a region marked with a particular planet in focus. The energy sources include the one excited or reflected by the planets and their respective moons, as also the ones coming from far off stellar bodies.
The planets are in continued motion traversing their respective trajectories around the Sun at their exclusive speeds, always maintaining relativity amongst them, as if they would be a family. Now seen with reference to earth, which itself spins on its axis at a great speed, the energy flux excited by nature would vary widely every moment.
And because of the connect between cosmos and the earthly bodies, any change in nature’s energy dynamics shall have relating bearing on the energy frame-up of a being, with obvious implications in terms of one’s mind trends and thereby conduct.
Now coming back to the implications of time, remember, there remains a continuum all through its run. For, the ground set at a particular moment is what sets the ball rolling for the next moment. So, no wonder that the when the scientists focus the telescope on far off galaxies, they are able to visualise the goings in the cosmos thousands of light years beforehand through a study of energy spectrums observed.
Astrology is also based on the same premise. In fact, an astrological chart of a being is nothing but energy mapping of the cosmos at the time of one’s birth. The unique energy construct of a being thus marked offers clue to how one’s life would resonate to the progressive changes in nature’s energy dynamics in the emerging times.
But many people may not be aware of their exact time of birth. In such cases, horary system of astrology is put to use. In this system, the planetary line-up at the moment of consultation is taken into consideration, which answers our questions with a fair amount of precision. For, as already explained above, the energy dynamics every moment being rooted in the past, shall have in store the imprints of legacy carried over from the past.
See how the horary chart reflects upon the mental predicament of an expatriate lady who was not aware of her time of birth. The lagna lord Moon is in a dual sign Virgo and conjunct the Sun, the two separated by two degrees. The lady seems to have gone through emotional turmoil two months ago. And she is debating whether the decisions she has taken in her emotional hang are right. The lagna sub-lord Mars is in the fourth house marked with her place of abode. Mars occupies the lunar constellation of Saturn, which is posited in the libra sign where the third cusp falls. libra being the seventh house of the natural zodiac is identified with relationship. Mars and Saturn happen to be natural foes in astrological reckoning. The implication is that the lady would have decided to relocate so as to be out of sight with her ex-boyfriend. The lady was astonished to find that a horary reading could reflect upon her state of mind with such precision. Astrology, in fact, knows no bounds.
