So what role does the star signs play in a person’s destiny? Firstly, there are different ways of looking at things. And this has to be very clearly understood.
Today, our prominent way of looking at the stars is that they are just gigantic lumps of matter, which are orbiting according to certain laws. And that is all we think that is there. Yes, that is one level of perception.
But that is not the only level at which they can be perceived. So to understand this, the standard example that I gave is that suppose you have say, white, you have chalk and you have coal. And we grind both chalk and coal into powder, we get white powder, we get black powder.
If we mix the two together, we will have a grey powder that looks grey. But if I look at that same grey powder under a microscope, I would not see grey powder at all. I will see white granules and I will see black granules.
Now what is it actually? Is it white and black granules or is it a grey powder? What it is will depend on the scale at which we are perceiving it. Under a microscope, it is something different. To my eyes, it is something different.
To my naked eye, it is something different. So like that, at our level of perception, the stars and the celestial objects, they may seem to be just insatiate lumps of matter. But at another level of perception, they are not just lumps of matter.
There are higher beings who are associated with those particular planets. And those higher beings are a part of the cosmic plan for orchestrating things in the universe. Say for example, I take too much electricity and do not pay the electricity bill.
So at that time, am I saying that is happening in a particular corner here and from this wire, I have taken out some illegal connection and I am getting electricity from there. But then from somewhere, some shop, some store or some office somewhere, I might get a legal notice that you are fine this much. Now I may say, if I just look at it from a very disconnected perspective, I will say that hey, this particular connection was here and this office is here, what is the connection between them? But this whole thing is an interconnected network.
So like that, the whole universe is an interconnected cosmos. And our actions, so just as the action of stealing electricity, the reaction to that is coming through a particular agent. That is the say the electricity officer over there or whoever it is.
So like that, whatever actions we do, the actions produce reactions. And those reactions come through us through certain agents. And those agents, some of the portion of those agents are the higher beings who are associated with the planets.
So that is why when a person is born at that time, the way the stars are, that to some extent determines and by that one can foresee certain kinds of events that are going to happen in that person’s life. And by understanding this broad trajectory of the experiences of the event that are going to come in a person’s life that can be understood. Just like say if I am going from here to Nasik, then if I have a map, then I will know here there is going to be a bridge, here there is going to be a ghat, here there is going to be a rocky road, here the road is very smooth.
So that is more or less like a, once the pathway I know, I get the idea. But there also I can choose. If I go through a slippery area fast, my likelihood of accident is much more.
If I go slowly, the likelihood of accident is much less. So like that the star signs, what we call as star signs basically, they are not just signs. There are higher beings who are associated with them and they have some responsibility in maintaining the universal order by becoming instruments for some reactions to come upon some people.
And a rough indicator of that comes through the position of the stars at particular times. So star signs, they play a role in the unfolding of our destiny. And by understanding that role, to some extent, astrology tries to give us some means to either minimize or prepare ourselves for dealing with this.
