For those anxious to hang up their shingle and start predicting, it would be wise to remember that it can take many years to fully understand one's own horoscope ~ let alone someone else's.

We are all born under certain conditions according to the merits/demerits of our past actions (karma). "As ye sow so shall ye reap" is a fair policy of Mother Nature.

Through the divine light of Jyotish we can see our karma unfolding and, with grace, we will come to understand that the true purpose of jyotish is not fortune-telling but is rather a light in the darkness of ignorance that leads to greater understanding of the true nature of our existence.
