Many individuals believe that all terrible things that happen in life are caused by negative planetary positions in the horoscope/birth chart. Then one wonders why God created us and why some people are born into families with all of life’s difficulties while others are born with a silver spoon. People frequently blame a bad horoscope, negative or weak planets in a horoscope, or exalted and positive planets, for issues in their life. So we spoke with Dr. Vinay Bajrangi, one of India’s leading astrologers. When people ask if a horoscope can only be good or negative, or what to do if a horoscope is bad, he debunks several myths. And how do you deal with a horoscope’s bad planets? For a commoner’s perspective, below is a summary of his responses.
DVB
It is completely incorrect. There is no such thing as a good or bad horoscope. You see, a horoscope is a combination and summary of planets that one receives when one is born at a specific location, day, and time. In a horoscope, bad planets are the result of your karmas from previous births, but God has given you “free will” in this incarnation to reduce their negative effects. Similarly, excellent planets in a natal chart are the product of your prior lives’ good acts. However, misusing “free will” might negate all of its positive advantages. The planetary positions in people’s horoscopes do not exclusively define their destiny. I’ve noticed that even when numerous planets are exalted in a person’s horoscope, they haven’t done anything particularly admirable. On the contrary, I’ve found that even though many planets are weak in horoscopes, they haven’t done anything particularly destructive. This demonstrates that exalted planets do not ensure a person’s complete success in life. On the other hand, ill-fated planets are not to blame for people’s misfortunes or failures in life.
I’ve stated several times in my articles and video presentations that the planets in horoscopes are positioned according to the positioning of their Lagnesh. This isn’t to say that planets are always exalted. However, a powerful Lagnesh can compel other planets to display their results in the manner that it desires.
Bhavat-Bhavam is a fantastic thing in and of itself, according to astrology. It is a basic Parashari law that the strength of planets is determined by the house in which they are placed. The sun, for example, is the ruler of the zodiac sign Leo. However, if it falls under the sign of Capricorn, it is not regarded favorable to its own home.
Venus in Libra may not be good to Taurus, and Venus in Libra may not be advantageous to Taurus. This occurs because Taurus and Libra have a sixth-eighth relationship (Shadasthak to one another).
Because the relationship is Shadasthak, Mars in Aries may not be helpful to Scorpio, and vice versa.
When Jupiter moves eight houses from Sagittarius, which is again Shadasthak, it is in exaltation.
The above-mentioned interpretations of the Bhavat Bhavam may perplex any astrology learner, as some astrological postulates remain unwarranted. Some of the principles I described before, as well as a few things that are beyond the comprehension of most people, have the opposite effect of what they were intended to achieve.
DVB – The nefarious Doshas, or flaws in a person’s horoscope, are not a curse. Instead, they can take advantage of them. The doshas that terrify individuals the most can help them get out of sticky circumstances.
But first, let me clear up any misunderstandings before I reveal the elders’ secret.
- Doshas are caused by more than just people’s horoscopes. Each horoscope, you see, has a negative influence, and it is up to the individual to activate or deactivate it.
- A skilled astrologer who can detect unfavorable Doshas or yogas in a person’s horoscope might provide them remedies.
- People should remember that doing good activities might help them overcome the negative yogas in their horoscope (positive karmas).
- The actions of people in previous lives define their current horoscopes. And the only way to fix their bad karma is to do good things. Their lifestyle would improve as a result of their good deeds.
- People should never use therapeutic procedures to try to suppress the unfavorable Doshas in their horoscopes. Even if they succeed in their goals, the negativity will inevitably return at some point in a more terrible form. Persons must repent for every negative deed, according to Brahma’s Karma Law.
- Consider this scenario: disrespecting elders but continuing to donate throughout the Pitra Paksha will not calm your Pitra Dosha.
The best technique to get rid of sorrows, according to the aforementioned postulates, is to undertake Karma appraisal and correction.
DVB – Digital Video Broadcasting I’d want to tell you about one of the best cases I’ve ever worked on. A senior citizen once came to my office with his son’s horoscope. Father informed me that his son is forty years old and has no source of income. He also informed me that he had presented his son’s horoscope to a number of astrologers, all of whom assured him that his son will shine brightly like a pole star. His son’s horoscope was nothing more than a piece of astrological art. The majority of his planets were exalted or in their sign. At the age of twenty-four, he began the Dasha/period of his elevated Lagnesh. But he did nothing and relied on the rent money to support his family. Astrologers predicted great things for him, but they all turned out to be incorrect. The following are some of their findings:
- He will receive an excellent education and grow into a qualified individual. Instead, he dropped out of school after the 12th grade, which he passed after three tries.
- He’ll start his own business and see it grow. But nothing like that happened. He tried his hand at a variety of enterprises but was not successful in any of them.
- He will be a successful man who will assist others in reaching their objectives. However, he was always a failure who relied on the assistance of others.
- Despite the fact that the planets in his horoscope were in the ideal positions, he did not shine.
I’d want to tell you about another situation. a young woman brought her child’s natal chart to see if I could make any predictions about him. I initially refused since I do not read the horoscopes of children under the age of twelve. Despite her constant pleadings, I agreed. She was heartbroken because several astrologers had foretold that her child’s future would be bleak. Her child’s planetary configuration is as follows:
- In the Moola Nakshatra, the child was born.
- The majority of his worlds were disabled.
- In his horoscope, he had a few yogas. Balaristha was a practitioner of such yoga.
- Some astrologers predicted that this infant will die young.
- If he lived, he would only be able to appreciate a few things in life and would be a burden on his parents and siblings.
- The mother of the child also conducted numerous rituals in order to placate the almighty, but she remained unsatisfied.
Regardless of these factors, I assured her that her child will live a long life and become a successful man. I didn’t requested to participate in any ceremonies. Rather, I offered her a timetable on which I recorded her child’s progress. I also requested her to contact me every two years to let me know how things were progressing with the plants I recommended.
DVB – I believe that with the above two real-life situations, I have demonstrated that no horoscope planet produces negative or positive outcomes. I’ll explain more later. The following are the findings in both of the aforementioned cases:
- Even the most powerful people require assistance and support from others. People with strong planetary configurations were unhelpful to each other, whereas those with weak planetary configurations were beneficial.
- A powerful Lagna outperforms all other planets, and it should be backed up by other planets.
- Planets with more strength produce complacency, while planets with less strength produce a sense of urgency.
- Stronger planets may fail to provide outcomes by attempting to shift blame to other planets. Students of astrology may have heard that an exalted planet’s Mooltricone Rashi must be destroyed.
- Remember that stronger planets only bloom once, and if the benefit isn’t taken advantage of, their beneficial impacts fade away.
- As a result, there are numerous hypotheses that stronger planets carry more negativity than weaker planets.
Those born into wealthy households may lead ordinary or average lives, whilst those with zero horoscopes can excel.
At the age of forty, the man who was meant to be a hero was seen struggling. His planets were in such a way that he was his own worst adversary and a giant zero in his life. The boy whose mother was terrified and worried, on the other hand, would have a nice life. Many astrologers would interpret his natal chart as zero, but those who grasp the chart’s subtleties know that it is a hero, not zero.
So, in order to activate good yogas and keep evil yogas at bay, one must learn how to do so in the correct dasha and gochar (transits). If the horoscope is bad or good, stop searching.
DVB – There are specific positions in a horoscope when a planet is deemed to be correctly placed. The following circumstances ensure that a planet is correctly placed in one’s natal charts:
- The planet in the exaltation sign is thought to be the most powerful.
- When the planet is in a sign that it rules, it is said to be in a sign of its own.
- With a high Vimsopaka Bala, the planet is thought to be powerful.
- Vargottama is the planet’s current state.
- When the world is in a healthy state Shastiamsha
- The planet is working in tandem with a natural benefit.
- When the planet is in the 1st, 5th, or 9th house ruling condition,
- The planet is influenced by its depositor.
DVB – In Vedic astrology, there are particular laws that determine if a planet is harmful or weak to a person. And here are a few of them:
- When the planet is in its weakened sign,
- When a planet is in an enemy sign, it is said to be in retrograde.
- When the planet’s resources are depleted, Bala Vimsopaka
- When the planet is in a poor situation Shastiamsha
- Mrityobhaga is when the planet is in Mrityobhaga.
- When the planet is in conjunction with another planet or is under the influence of a natural malefic
- When a planet is very close to the sun, it is said to be “close to the sun.”
- When the planets are in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, it is a good time to buy a house.
- When a planet is weak, debilitated, or impacted by the traits of the other sign’s ruler
The aforementioned rules determine whether a planet is benefic or malefic. However, if any planet is afflicted, it may cause a slew of issues in people’s life. Without any serious ailments, the earth will produce its natural results in accordance with the aforementioned standards. And this will explain if the planet in one’s horoscope is powerful or weak.
Despite the preceding criteria, a malefic planet does not always produce malefic outcomes, and a benefic planet does not always bless the person. The finest results from any planet are determined by one’s actions (Karmas).
DVB – I’ve already stated that there is no such thing as a terrible or excellent horoscope; each horoscope has both negative and positive planets, as well as planetary combinations. To begin, one must understand how to assess a planet’s strength, as a negative planet with low energy will cause little harm. Similarly, a positive/good planet with minimal energy may not produce excellent outcomes. However, if a person is concerned that he or she has a poor horoscope, I will advise you on how to deal with it. This isn’t to say that your horoscope won’t have an effect on you. Because some of the following things, despite their best intentions, people may not be able to stick to them. This is because some of your actions will be held back by a weak Ascendant, Moon (the mind), and the influence of other planets. However, many people who want to avoid such disputes might take these simple steps:
Remember not to damage everyone you come into contact with, whether it’s in your family, workplace, friends, or anywhere else. Let me offer you a simple slogan. Before you go to sleep, think for two minutes about what you’ve done to others and what they’ve done to you. Get rid of your vengeful tendencies, learn to forgive, and don’t do anything you wouldn’t want others to do to you.
If you have a habit that you believe is harming others, strive to get rid of it from your daily routine.
If you believe in any God, attempt to observe a fast day, at the very least remaining a vegetarian on that day. If one believes in Lord Shiva (Mondays), Lord Hanuman (Tuesdays), Lord Ganesha (Wednesdays), and so on, there are specific days that are auspicious according to Hindu mythology for each God.
Whatever God you worship, try to learn about them and adopt at least one of their excellent behaviors.
Instead of copying, learn from those who are in a better position than you. You’ll undoubtedly find something useful among them.
If you find yourself in a scenario where a dispute is unavoidable, attempt to get out of it rather than into it.
Don’t give money to God, don’t fill your fingers with gemstones to appease Him, and don’t try to appease any planet since you never know when that planet will be elevated.
I’m not just talking about drunkenness, drug addiction, and other vices that should be avoided at all costs. Such things, sooner or later, have a direct impact on your psyche.
It is simple to preach but harder to practice whatever is spoken. Yes, but that is what the Karma theory states. Even the best astrologer in the world won’t be able to aid you if you can’t follow such instructions. To sum up, your horoscope is what you did in previous lives, your destiny is how you negotiate your karmas in this life, and your next life is what you build the groundwork for today.

Has astrology been proven to be false?
Astrology is a collection of belief systems that assert that there is a connection between astrological phenomena and events or personality traits in the human world. The scientific community has dismissed astrology as having no explanatory power for describing the universe. Scientific testing has discovered no evidence to back up the astrological traditions’ premises or alleged effects.
Who is India’s most famous astrologer?

Is there a God in astrology?
I’ve been asked numerous times over the years to speak about the compatibility of astrology and religion by clients who are deeply religious. Despite the fact that some passionately religious people consider astrology to be heretical, I’ve noticed an extraordinary ideological connection between organized religions and the orderly world of astrology.
Astrology is completely compatible with a strict religious belief system. It’s a graceful jump to assume that a God created the universe, with noble ideals guiding even the planets and stars.
The study of the planets and stars precedes and has influenced religious belief and practice around the world, according to evidence from ancient texts, sculptures, and stained glass art. Symbols of astrological signs and planets can be found in our earliest ancient religious sites. Significant religious luminaries including Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, Buddha, and Mary Baker Eddy were born within astrological alignments that synchronistically confirmed their arrival.
Some devoted religious believers’ opposition can be traced back to a time when priests and religious authorities sought to interpret and mediate all religious experiences from their positions of authority. Our forefathers sought divine inspiration straight from the stars and considered themselves to be an intricate part of an active universe evolving before the development of male-dominated organized religion. Astrology as a technique and a belief system founded on an enchantment with the divine orchestrations of the heavens was open to anyone. Astrology does not necessitate the worship of a single deity or figurehead; rather, it assumes the existence of an infinite and purposeful intellect that pervades the heavens and the earth in a grand symphony of meaning.
Religion comes from the Latin term religio, which meaning “to connect together.” What could be more inextricably interwoven than celestial motions and human experiences and events?
The meanings of the 9th and 12th houses, as well as the archetypes of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, all honor the importance of religion and spirituality in astrology. The 9th and 12th houses represent areas of life where religious or spiritual guidance, experience, and/or ordainment may be sought. Jupiter can represent a powerful spiritual or religious figure, Saturn a harsh God image, and Neptune mystical experiences and religious rapture.
A trustworthy, unbiased astrologer can assist a client in strengthening their confidence. Through an examination of their chart, I’ve assisted several clients in reclaiming and activating their religious roots, leading them toward the power that comes from following a religious path. Religion is a cornerstone of psychological and mental well-being for some people.
Unlike many organized religions, astrological ideas and practices are free of sexism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression. Even the old astrological metaphors of masculine and feminine planets and energies have been redesigned as receptive and active energies that are not gendered in expression. Every human has a strong seat at the table of the universe, just as every planet and star has a position in the sky.
Astrology and organized faiths are both:
- Are you looking for a way to express yourself?
- Are not backed up by scientific evidence
- Thousands of years have passed
- Are based on legend and folklore.
- Have spawned works of art and poetry that are both inspired and stunning.
- Give people a sense of belonging and identity
- Assist folks who are going through a lot of pain and loss.
- Investigate the concepts of fate and free will.
- Have a history of group rituals?
- Keep track of important dates on your calendar.
In contrast to religion, astrology:
- There are no places of worship.
- There are no membership requirements or vows.
- There are no moral edicts.
- Has no claim to superiority based on merit
- Is there no human saint?
- There is no such thing as a hierarchy of worthiness.
- Does not indicate that there is an afterlife.
- There is no specific code of social conduct outlined.
- There is no formal consensus on the amount of training that must be completed.
- There are no official uniforms or costuming for practitioners.
- It does not necessitate worship.
These lists demonstrate how religion and astrology can have a fruitful relationship.
Religion is a Saturn word in astrological terms: it is ordered, spells out right and wrong, and is constructed on and in institutions and agreements. Astrology has a Uranian bent to it:
