A question that often pops up, do the planets have a stranglehold grip on your life or you have some room to maneuver? Though the remedy churning youtube nonsense creators will tell you that they have the solution /remedy for all your life-related problems, they do not provide a satisfactory answer for the above question, you can often find them lamenting on their helplessness on social media on the efficacy of astrology often telling others that they could not predict an eventuality beforehand, what they do not tell the world is that the means and practices adopted by them have already made them astrological outcasts and constipated intellect zombies bent on creating and cloning a class like themselves that they feel can destroy the fundamentals and ethics of Vedic astrology. The influence of planets on the native is measured through astrology which is akin to the working of the complex set of theorems that have to be deciphered within the principles and juxtapositions of astrology. Astrology as such is Indicative in nature and one should not depend too much on astrology, so as to map all activities and happenings in day to day life, mapping of your day to day activities to astrology is a fallacy, and people who try to assign astrological reason to an everyday activity normally end up in the quagmire of confusions, delusions, and become fodder for remedial farce factories of charlatans. Astrology can be used as a guiding force in case of doubt, ambiguity, health analysis, suitable education, and career choices .people who claim to predict on micro-level touching on your daily activities are surefooted crafty thugs that one should be wary of. For learners and seekers, any Paddati or method that promises a shortcut is also a trap that will keep you wandering from one such padhati(method) to another and often acquiring lots of useless baggage of methodologies that has nothing to do with vaidik astrology as revealed by sages and seers for wise and prudent thinkers. The factor to consider here is that one becomes an astrologically constipated zombie with a toxic load of useless stuff. Astrology works on karma Siddhanta theory and influence of planets and zodiac is considered to evaluate the happenings past, present, and future, therefore it can be said that these heavenly bodies exercise a significant influence on our life but not absolute for there is a circle within the circle of karma Siddhanta theory that will allow independent thinking and movement through it can be regressive or progressive as per each individual's karmas.
