Indian astrology is based on the theory of fate. The good and the bad actio of the past life determ
However it does not preach total dependence on fate. Astrology lets you know what you were born with, what your po ibilities are, the limitatio , your strong points and your drawbacks. What type of life partners and profe io suit you and to expect is also indicated. It also prescribes various remedial measures to ward off the bad effects and to enhance the good results. Astrology is your roadmap of destiny. However your fate is in your hands. The scriptures guide us by telling us what is good and what is bad; what to do and what not to do; how to do and how not to do. You are given a piece of land and the seeds to sow. How much effort to put in to it, what amount of manure and water to add and when how to reap the produce is your job.
After that it is you who have to act using your knowledge intelligence, discrimination and experience. Fate is like a game of cards where you ca ot help the cards that have been dealt to you but how to play them is in your hands. You may get good cards but if you play badly you will lose and you may get bad cards and still may win if you play carefully. Dont blame the roadmap if you get drunk, drive badly and have an accident!
