What is Destiny?

  

A soul's journey into this world begins in the mother's womb. According to ancient Indian beliefs, it's in the third month of the pregnancy that Lord Brahma begins scripting its destiny. Thus primarily five major decisions are made that together comprise of one's destiny:- 1. The soul's spiritual journey, 2. The career path, 3. Monetary gains and losses, 4. Progeny and 5. Death are pre-decided. These factors govern the soul's present life on earth and developments occur as ordained.

The Horoscope drawn as per the arrangement of the stars at the time of birth aids in studying and ascertaining, reading about the subject's life in meticulous detail.

The first factor- The soul's spiritual journey

Lord Brahma himself decides what spiritual course the subject's life will take. The  speed of spiritual growth and the extent of God- realisation that the soul may achieve in its present lifetime is also predetermined. One thus  comes across two types of people walking this earth. The first type being those who are born non-believers of God. As much as you try, you can rarely convert atheists. While the second type are those who are born with the love for God in their hearts. Try and convince them against Him, they will continue with unwavering faith, even tormenting their physical being for attainment of God, at times. It is these spiritual pursuits that the people undertake in this life that will see them through their journey in the next life too. Yagna (religious bon-fire),Tirth (holy water), Pooja (prayer rituals), Daan (donations) and Anushthan (fasting)are all religious offerings made to God for attaining spiritual reconciliation. The degree of involvement or participation in such religious actions are considered to be the major contributing factor to building a strong foundation for a great journey in the next life.

The second factor-  The career path.

However surreal it may seem, your source of income or your career path is also written in your destiny. You are ordained at the time of birth itself,  to be a scientist or an engineer, administrative officer, police officer, legal advisor or even a businessman. If you are a destined to be a businessman, the particular field of business you would be delving in is also indicated by the stars in your horoscope. It may also be clearly  indicated that the subject would be working with Iron, while another could be showing great strength in dealing with Gold & Silver and yet another could very well be cutout to deal in real estate and property matters. The Horoscope is a window that gives a peek into your future. Learning about the career destined for you through your Horoscope helps one know precisely which career move will help you in easily achieving desired success and bring prosperity. It is observed that sometimes an Engineer or a Doctor is still dissatisfied with his/her career graph even after securing supportive degrees for his career.  This may have happened mainly because the Horoscope suggests that the subject is destined for a particular field of study and the career choice made by the subject has been contradictory to what he's destined to excel in. It is thus imperative that one understands the career charted out for you in your Horoscope.

The third factor- Monetary gains and losses.

It is a world known fact that money influences the quality of our life at every step. The financial status or monetary gains and losses are also clearly predicted in the subject's horoscope. You are born with stars that make you a Millionaire or Billionaire or even a debtor in life. Minute details of your financial ups and downs can be studied through the Horoscope. There's one way you could also protect yourself from sudden monetary losses. The time span between one birthday and the subsequent is referred to as your 'Annual Prediction'. Based on this reading you can determine whether financial losses have been predicted that year or do you stand to profit? If it is to be a profitable period, you may secure your financial gain through straightforward solutions suggested by Astrology. Similarly you may also protect yourself from or entirely erase the possibility of financial losses too. Each year is undoubtedly different from the next. One could say that in a particular year if you've built a property, the next you may be mortgaging that very same property and picking up loans, to surf through a financially low period. Each 'Annual Prediction'  is thus inevitably different from the previous or the next.       

The fourth factor- Progeny

 The stars in the Horoscope speak clearly whether the subject is destined to give birth to children or not. And if so, how many? At what age will the subject's first born arrive? Will it be a boy or a girl? Everything about the subject's progeny and their future is also predetermined. How attached or detached will the children be from the subject? Will the children carry your legacy forward, bring it to a status quo or even send everything you have built in your lifetime, down the drain? Will your lineage flourish through your scion or does it end there? Your own Horoscope can also tell you everything about your child's life-span, financials, career, character, anomalies, diseases that would possibly affect him and even your inter-personal relationship with him, in meticulous detail. When the stars in the Horoscope that predict the progeny seem to be flawed, a child that will destroy the family's future is born.   

         

The fifth factor- Death

Age at which death will occur or the subject's life-span is also pre-destined. One may have observed that there are numerous causes of death and ways in which a person dies. Some die a pre-mature death and some live a fairly long life while some others are blessed with longevity. To some, death comes easily while some meet with a gruesome death. Some die diseased while some meet with death in an accident. There are those who are bed-ridden and longing for death while the fit and fine are suddenly taken away by the grip of death. Some die a peaceful death leaving for the heavenly abode happily. Another might have not wished to leave just yet or may have left with a heavy heart, troubled to see the family suffering. The Horoscope says it all! At the time of death, what will be the subject's personal and professional life, his/her financial status, emotional and mental structure, familial situation, etc. When will the subject die, at precisely what time and place and who will be by his side? Everything can be deduced from the subject's Horoscope.

In fact, your Astro-Maestro's study of the subject is so in-depth that it is also possible to read the subject's after-life journey, too!

Just ask and the pandora's box of answers called your Kundali or Horoscope will be opened up for you.
