Frontiers of information technology and the super science of astrology: where do they meet?

Frontiers of information technology and the super science of astrology: where do they meet? We all know how much IT (information technology) has helped in making calculations for astrology in a few seconds as compared to hours in the past. This has led to the spread of astrology, at least the calculations are there without much effort! Now, have you ever wondered how astrology could still be a science, despite someone looking at your chart based on lagna, or looking at your chart based on moon sign or even sun sign?

This is the reason why “scientists” declare it as a fraud and a pseudoscience. Which is NOT. It is based on the probability/chance estimate of an event happening, such as marriage in 2009, what is the probability of the same happening? Is it 30%, 60% or more? There is no YES/NO answer like we usually do in science.

But we do the same thing in quantum physics; In market forecasting/economics software, we talk in terms of probabilities and chance, right? Why is astrology such a pariah? Let’s analyze this from two case studies.

A) Judgment of various Ascendants: How correct is it?: How can it be true that astrologers prefer lagna for predictions, and some prefer moon sign for predictions and some Navamsa, but still most of Could astrology be dealt with in the realm of science? One of the simple ways to solve this puzzle is to give weight to the age of each way of looking at the graph: Lagna = 50%, Moon = 30%, Navamsa = x%, etc. So even if an astrologer sees a marital conflict due to a difference of opinion (Saturn is there) based on Lagna alone, he is still pretty sure if the Moon sign chart/rasi chart gives neutral indications. So essentially what an astrologer does is assign different weights to different charts and then make a judgment. This is also done a lot in science – most intelligent systems take this into account, so we can see how modern IT connects to astrology. Blur means that one cannot say YES or NO, where YES = 1 and NO = 0. It could have a value in between like 0.4. So if lagan says quarrels on the marital front, but rasi says that no one could say that the probability of quarrels is 50%. That is, most of the time you are friendly, but there can be times of intense fights. The intensity time frame would be predicted based on dasha or transits.

B) Concept of Good and Bad Astrologer? Have you ever wondered why there is a concept of a good, bad or better astrologer? Shall we explore the same? Let’s analyze the above kundli, where mars maha dasha is ON, active, and see how astrologers of different points of view see it.

Case 1 = Average Astrologer – Now an average astrologer would say – your Mars is located on average in Virgo and Mars is a natural malefic/bad planet so fights in general might be there as it is in the 2nd house , so the problems in the profession (2nd house has an indirect relationship with the profession).

Case 2 = Medium Astrologer If an astrologer goes deeper, let’s say a better astrologer, he would add more value and say that Rahu is in rashi of Mars, therefore he would also give his energy: so the reading could be modified, the fights would be there and it would be of a sudden nature (due to rahu), problems in profession, many more problems in profession and hurdles, which would be of a sudden nature (rahu effects were taken)

Case 3: Better Astrologer: Now an even better astrologer would say that since Rahu gets energy from Saturn in the 7th house (full 3rd aspect), expect fights, which will result in coldness, general problems/coldness in the profession, many more problems/delays. in the profession and the obstacles and that also suddenly (so in this way we have also incorporated the effects of Saturn). One could continue to add more and more value to the readings depending on the knowledge/skill base of the astrologer. In any of the above cases, is any astrologer lying or not telling the truth? No not really, they are all fine and can be accommodated, with the conclusions given below.

C) Conclusion: So we notice that as we add more and more information/knowledge is added to the prediction, the better the predictions become. You can also see that none of the astrologer cases 1 to 3 above are WRONG. But some are relatively better than others. Just like an economist is better than others, no one can accurately predict the markets. Also at the same time, we can conclude that the more correct knowledge an astrologer has, the better the prediction will be. So in astrology, one cannot make a YES or NO statement, one can only predict the possibilities, which coincides with the law of karma.

So, the IT frontier: fuzzy systems/quantum computing. There is also No, YES or NO, there are some in between, say yes = 1.0 and No = 0, but any fuzzy system (like economics, astrology, sociology) could be 0.5 or 0.75 etc.

As we discussed, astrology is much more complex than economic systems, looking at it prima facie with very complex and non-linear elements in it. So much higher methods like IT are needed to solve the mystery, than saying it’s dead or doesn’t make “scientific sense”. So it may be that a doctor says after examining a patient the type of medicine, but when it comes to very complex systems such as astrology, it is inevitable that there is subjectivity.

So it may be that the astrologer tries to strengthen the lord of the marriage, the other world tries to do something different. Also the judgment of the house of marriage would vary a bit depending on the experience of the astrologer (compare closely to economic systems) So does subjectivity mean it’s not scientific? NO.

Good luck and don’t be afraid that some pseudoscientist will tell you…
