Astrology is a mathematical calculation of planets placement on our birth chart. It is believed that it is a correlation between the movement of celestial bodies and events on earth. Astrology also defines once personalities and destinies of an individual. It has been in our culture since ancient times and even now youngsters take their life’s initial decision after having astrological reading.
The movement of these celestial bodies affects an individual’s life. It is believed that the movement of planets in a birth chart can predict What has happened?
What is happening ?
What will happen?
In other words it can predict the past, present and future of an individual. Thus with the help of a birth chart astrologer can predict once career, relationships, health, growth , obstacles etc. But always keep in mind that astrologers also can predict up to 70%-80% accurate only.
Now let’s know how they both together have a strong impact in one’s life. Astrology plays an important role in Vastu shastra through the planets and their influence in different directions. Vastu shastra depends on three factors: birth chart of a person, principles of vastu and muhurta (auspicious time). Vastu consultants also prefer to do different activities at the most auspicious time. For example: you must have seen people look after muhurats to perform various activities like house warming, bhoomi pujan before constructing a house, marriage etc. Vedic science believes that by doing these activities in subh muhurats will attract positive energies to your space.
From both astrology and vastu aspects directions were related to different planets and associated with different elements. If a person balances these directions then he can seek positive energies of the related planet.
Vastu consultants believed that the space is influenced by the cosmic energies and these energies have a strong impact on once well being prosperity. Similarly astrology believes that the position of the planets in a birth chart shapes once life path and destiny. This introduction of cosmic energy as a driving force establishes a natural connection between astrology and Vastu.
