In this video, Gurumaa discusses some interesting aspects of astrology in response to a youngster’s question. Astrology is a very precise science and a good astrologer necessarily has to be a good psychologist, a good mathematician and have good powers of intuition. In addition, accurate predictions can be made only if the date and exact time of birth are known.

At times, planetary influences can be favourable or unfavourable and these can give rise to positive and negative circumstances, states of mind, mood swings and so on. The purpose of astrology is to indicate these periods so that we can deal with them effectively; it is not to make us fearful and dependant on outer influences.
