Astrology & our Genetic Code
The Horoscope
The birth chart or Horoscope of a person is cast from the exact planetary positions at the moment of his birth. The positions of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the two nodes, Rahu and Ketu, their declinations and other details constitute what is called a Horoscope.
A Horoscope shows the general physical characteristics of a person, his mental make-up, his health , the diseases which he may be inclined to get, his status and progress or regress in life , some information about his family members and many other things.
Also, the horoscope, through what are called Dashas and Mahadashas, can show not only What but also When certain things are likely to happen in a person’s life.
Mainly, a horoscope shows tendencies.
Hence, a horoscope will show whether a person will tend to be short or tall, thin or fat, fair or dark, whether he is likely to have any physical handicap, and other such things. A horoscope shows such type of generalisations quite correctly.
To a trained Vedic Astrologer, the horoscope is the sitemap of a person’s life and destiny.
Destiny
Although the horoscope shows the destiny of a person, the horoscope itself is the result of a past destiny , formed by the past births of that person. Here, the Theory of Karma operates.
Every action of every living being on Earth is a type of karma. Each karma faithfully leaves a celestial imprint. This is recorded by what we can call the ‘Celestial Computer’. All the voluntary and involuntary actions of a person are thus fed into this Celestial Computer where his karmic record is maintained.
The Nine Planets and the twenty-seven Nakshatras form the ‘BIOS’ or the Operating System of this Celestial Computer. The karmic Input is faithfully recorded throughout one’s life. Simultaneously, the programme of Destiny in the next life is generated as an Output from the Celestial Computer. This programme, which is in a Planetary language is encrypted in the Horoscope!
The Moment of Birth
All the Planets have a fixed, predetermined planetary course in the Sky. Hence, at what time which Planet will be in which exact position in which Rasi is already predetermined centuries before the Planet comes to that position.
Planets in particular positions in particular Rasis cause certain fixed attributes in a Horoscope.
Also, the effects of inter-relations between Planets in different positions are predictable and known.
The number of such inter-relations between Planets in different positions are extremely vast and only the main inter-relational effects have been recorded through the ages in the Science of Astrology.
All these predictive effects have, as their base, a mathematical computation based upon Planetary positions.
The Birth Chart or Horoscope of a person is read in two ways:
1. Static predictions : These are based upon the position of planets at birth only. They show the physical characteristics and mental constitution of a person mainly. In other words, they show the structure and function of the microcosm that has been born at that particular moment. ( For a detailed explanation of microcosm, Prakriti etc, please read the Chapter called Basic Concepts in Ayurveda on this website ). Hence the Horoscope can predicate the tendency of that person towards Health and Disease.
2. Progressive predictions : After the moment of birth is over, the Planets no longer remain in the same position in which they were at birth. As these Planets continue their predetermined motions, the path of life of the person born unfolds with Time. How this path unfolds and how it can be altered by our Free Will, God’s grace, Guru’s efforts, etc, is a separate issue altogether.
The Genetic Code
This code is made out of small building blocks of DNA arranged in sequential order repetitively. All our DNA is found inside the nuclei of our body’s cells.
This code determines all our physical and mental characteristics such as our height, skin colour, features, health and proneness to disease, our temperament, etc.
But how is this Genetic code formed from the two sets of DNA inherited from one’s Biological parents?
I NOW POSTULATE THAT THIS GENETIC CODE IS NOT FORMED MERELY BY A RANDOM SELECTION FROM INHERITED DNA, BUT THAT THE CELESTIAL COMPUTER WORKS WITH THE INHERITED DNA OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO GIVE HIM HIS GENETIC CODE.
In this way then, does the Celestial Computer work with the Destiny of all Humankind!
