Aries (March 21-April 19)
The ram is the constellation that represents Aries, the first of the twelve zodiac signs. You are adventurous, active, ambitious, and competitive if you were born under this sign. Aries are recognized for their agility and leadership abilities, as well as a tendency to be impetuous and blunt (due to the “fire” aspect).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is the second of the twelve zodiac signs, and the constellation Taurus represents it. You are dedicated, dependable, focused, and creative if you were born under this sign. Tauruses are noted for their intelligence, trustworthiness, and stubbornness (the sign is a bull, after all). Tauruses are notorious for questioning authority and seeking pleasure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The constellation Gemini, which is made up of the Dioscurithe twins, Castor and Pollux, represents Gemini, the third of the twelve zodiac signs. You are active, expressive, intellectual, and playful if you were born under this sign. Geminis are recognized for their gregarious personalities and diverse interests, yet they have a (probably undeserved) reputation for being duplicitous.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The constellation Cancer, which is most typically pictured as a crab, represents Cancer, the fourth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are brave, empathetic, protective, and perceptive. Cancers are noted for their tendency to be remote and passive-aggressive, as well as their caring nature.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The lion is the constellation that represents Leo, the fifth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are vivacious, extroverted, and fiery if you were born under this sign. Leos are recognized for their warm personalities and great self-esteem, although they can be proud or jealous at times.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The virgin is the constellation that represents Virgo, the sixth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are practical, analytical, and sophisticated if you were born under this sign. Virgos are recognized for their generosity and meticulous attention to detail, yet they may also be introverted and have unrealistic expectations for themselves and their loved ones.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The scales, the only inanimate constellation, represents Libra, the seventh of the twelve zodiac signs. You are thought to be balanced, social, and diplomatic if you were born under this sign. Libras are recognized for their selflessness and camaraderie, although they can be overly pragmatic and insecure at times.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the scorpion constellation. You are loyal, resourceful, and dedicated if you were born under this sign. Scorpios are recognized for their boldness and pioneering spirit, but they may be abrasive and walled off to strangers.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The archer is the constellation that represents Sagittarius, the ninth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are cheerful, self-reliant, and intellectual. Sagittariuses are noted for their magnetic qualities and generosity, yet they can also be arrogant and direct.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn is the tenth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the sea goat constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are patient, hardworking, and disciplined. Capricorns are recognized for their tenacity and fondness for boundaries and regulations, but they may be stubborn and too concerned with perfection.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius is the eleventh of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the water carrier constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are thought to be creative, loyal, and unique. Aquariuses are recognized for their rebellious temperament and ingenuity, but they can be aloof and unyielding with loved ones.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is the last of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the fishes constellation. You are intuitive, artistic, and sympathetic if you were born under this sign. Pisces are famed for their empathy and artistic abilities, yet they can also be overly sensitive or delusional.
Is it possible to acquire a horoscope without knowing my date of birth?
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): In astrology, knowing your exact birth time is crucial for making accurate forecasts. It is necessary to comprehend the significance of the accurate birth time in astrology. The birth date, time of birth, and location of birth are the three main components that make up a horoscope. Even the tiniest alteration in any of these will cause the planets’ positions in the horoscope to shift. The planets’ positions in the horoscope are used to make the forecasts. As a result, even the tiniest shift in the planets’ positions will influence the outcome of the forecast. A small difference in birth time, say one second, can influence the location of the planets and therefore the prognosis. As a result, we should be aware that the birth time is crucial in astrology.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): Yes, even a tiny difference in birth time has an impact on forecasts. Consider the example of identical twins who were born one minute apart. Despite the fact that they were born only a minute apart, their personalities, likes, and temperaments are vastly different. They have diverse lives and fates as they grow up. As a result, having the proper time of birth is quite important before getting a prognosis.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): A erroneous birth time results in an erroneous birth chart and, as a result, a faulty prediction. Typically, we designate a person as a Manglik depending on Mars’ precise horoscope positioning. Even if a person is not a Manglik, a faulty birth chart can readily label them as one. Similarly, a miscalculated birth chart can indicate an early or normal-age marriage, which may or may not occur. The native may get complacent as a result of incorrect birth chart forecasts, preventing them from taking corrective action. The main goal of consulting and correcting through the charts is negated in these instances.
I’ve observed numerous people who, as a result of their incorrect birth charts, have engaged in rituals or remedial actions that further postpone their marriage. There are times when an astrologer recommends marrying before a specific age without realizing that the birth chart presented to him is incorrect.
As a result, before providing his or her birth time to an astrologer, the native must be certain of it. Similarly, it is the astrologer’s primary obligation to verify the accuracy of the birthtime using the birth time verification procedure.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: Before reading the horoscope, an astrologer should use a procedure called birth time verification. In this method, the astrologer attempts to check a few recent incidents. If these occurrences are confirmed, the astrologer can be certain of the birth times. Surya Paddyati, Chandra Paddyati, Mangal Paddyati, Navamsha-Chandra Paddyati, and other birth time verification techniques exist. The astrologer selects the one that he is most at ease with. I would also emphasize that using any of these strategies requires a great deal of experience and skill.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): I’m going to tell you a short story. Sudesh (real name altered) was an excellent student until the seventh grade. In his ninth and tenth grades, though, his concentration and academics began to deteriorate. His parents were devastated by his tenth-grade results, which showed that he had failed. They went to see an astrologer because they were broke, not realizing that the horoscope they submitted to him was faulty. Without validating the accuracy of Sudesh’s birthdate, the astrologer prophesied that the boy will have a more difficult time in the years ahead. At the very least, he should be studying courses that require little effort to pass.
Based on the advice of an astrologer, the boy’s parents forced him to take his tenth grade examinations privately and pushed him to study fundamental arts topics. The boy finished with a bachelor’s degree in arts and found it difficult to find work, which is when he and his parents sought me.
I double-checked the birth time, which turned out to be incorrect. After correcting his birthdate, I discovered that a two-year period (classes 8 and 9) was particularly difficult for him. After that, things were to be good, but they ruined the boy’s schooling, profession, and years based on a false prophesy.
I suggested that he take a computer coding course. For someone with an artistic background, computer coding may seem like a distant dream, yet he accepted.
He’s now a successful computer programmer who started late but is doing something worthwhile.
This is how a native’s job chances are affected by an incorrect birth chart. However, instead than blaming astrology as a science, one must blame oneself or the astrologer in such circumstances.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: An astute astrologer can determine the validity of the birth time by examining the birth chart. He reads the horoscope, calculates the timings, and interpolates historical occurrences into charts. This indicates whether or not the birth time is accurate. This interpolation also demonstrates the significance of birth time in predicting outcomes.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): Because birth time is so important in astrology, knowing the proper birth time is critical. Birth time rectification is a unique method by which an astrologer determines your correct birth time. However, I would like to point out that not every astrologer is capable of undertaking the time-consuming task of rectification of birth time.
What is birth time correction, and how does it work? When is it necessary to correct a birth time?
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: Birth time rectification is the act of determining the correct birth time of a person so that a birth chart can be drawn and used to forecast their future lives. There are numerous astrological procedures for rectification of birth times, however these approaches necessitate a skilled and experienced hand. Birth time rectification is essential if the native has even the slightest doubt about the accuracy of the birth time and if previous predictions do not correspond. The best birth correction astrologer can adjust the birth time to the nearest second.
Only when we have the correct birth time can we make accurate forecasts, and it is possible to correct someone’s birth time.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): If you’re a good astrologer and can read the past with a considerable bit of accuracy, you can be confident that the birth time is correct. Again, it’s important to remember that the horoscope should be in the hands of a knowledgeable astrologer.
Is it possible to interpret a horoscope without knowing the time of birth? What should you do if you don’t know when someone was born?
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi (Vinay Bajrangi): Yes! It is possible to read your horoscope without knowing your date of birth. An astrologer can use a variety of tactics to forecast future occurrences, including drawing a Prasha Chart and inferring from a relative’s chart.
A master astrologer can make predictions based on chakras such as the Kot Chakra, the Sarvatobhadra Chakra, and the Kalachakra, among others. The best astrologers have strong intuitive abilities, which when combined with the Prasha chart, produce exceptional outcomes.
When it comes to what to do if people don’t know their correct birthdate, you can go for birth time rectification or visit an astrologer who understands the Prasha chart technique.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: No, they can never produce precise findings because, when it comes to birth time rectification, we have to apply multiple procedures at the same time. Because it is a procedure that relies on the responses of the natives, no birthtime rectification software can guarantee precise findings.
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: It’s better to do it in person, but if time is an issue, we can do it online. Not through online reports, but through online chat. The astrologer should be able to read the native’s facial emotions thanks to good internet connections and clear reception.
Is there any truth to the zodiac signs?
Is astrology accurate? Reading horoscopes is a popular pastime, but is there any scientific evidence that they are accurate?
When you’re enticed by a familiar interruption and your willpower weakens, problems can occur.
Every day, up to 70 million Americans consult their horoscopes. At least, that’s what the American Federation of Astrologers claims. According to a Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life poll conducted twenty years ago, 25% of Americans believe that the positions of the stars and planets have an impact on our daily life. In 2012, the General Social Survey indicated that 34% of Americans think astrology is “extremely” or “kind of scientific,” with the percentage of individuals who think astrology is “not at all scientific” dropping from two-thirds to about half.
Astrology is the concept that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars over your head when you were born or the fact that Mercury is retrograde, have the potential to influence our daily lives and personality traits. Of course, this is distinct from astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the physics of the cosmos.
A particular facet of astrology, the foretelling of a person’s future or the provision of daily counsel via horoscopes, is gaining in popularity. The Cut, for example, recorded a 150 percent rise in horoscope page views in 2017 compared to 2016.
Clearly, a lot of people are trying to figure out how to read the stars for guidance. Understanding the positions of the stars is the foundation of astrology, which appears to be a scientific discipline in and of itself. Is there any scientific evidence that astrology has an impact on our personalities and lives?
But, since I still have five minutes of this six-minute podcast to fill, let’s take a look at how astrology has been put to the test.
What are the three most important indications in my life?
Your Sun sign, Moon sign, and rising sign, also known as ascending sign, are the three most important places in your birth chart. Your Sun sign is the foundation of your personality and who you are as a person. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional side and who you are when you’re alone. Finally, your rising sign is the initial impression others get of you and how you appear on the outside.
What is the best way to find out what time I was born?
- Find a duplicate of your birth certificate.
- Find out where you were born and the name of the hospital where you were born.
- Call the doctor’s office where you were born.
- In the town where you were born, contact the municipal or county town hall.
How do you figure out when you were born?
Now I’ll provide a few real-life case studies to demonstrate how the method of event-based birth time rectification works.
The birth time of this individual was not correctly recorded, and it was stated to me that it might have been anywhere between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. If we use the time of 02:00 a.m. to cast the birth chart, Pisces (Meena) is the ascendant rising sign. However, if we choose 01:00 a.m. as the birth time, Aquarius is the ascendant (Kumbha).
- Siblings: This local is the youngest of four siblings. If we look at the Aquarius lagan, we can see that Rahu in the third house causes one brother or sister to be the youngest or oldest. However, the 3rd house in Pisces sees the Sun, Venus, and Mercury receiving the aspect of Jupiter, indicating the birth of a younger brother. In the instance of Pisces lagna, he was born with the balance dasha of the Sun, which would have given him younger siblings.
- The native graduated with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. According to a study published in Shri K.N. Rao’s book “Planets and Instruction,” civil engineering education originates from the fifth, fourth, and tenth houses, with planes Mars (land), Mercury (measuring), and Saturn (building material) playing a role. Now, in this situation, civil engineering studies come from the Aquarius lagan only because the 5th lord Mercury enters the 4th house there, together with the 4th lord Venus, who receives the aspect of Saturn. Mars, another essential planet for civil engineering, is in aspect with the tenth house. Such civil engineering combinations are not obvious if we look at the Pisces lagan.
- He relocated to Canada in 1990 after leaving the United States. In his horoscope, it was Jupiter maha dasha in Vimshottari. When we look at the Aquarius lagna, we can see that Jupiter is in the 12th house of foreign land. Jupiter’s depositor is Saturn, who is located in the 7th house, which is the house of travel abroad. The elder brother of the local has also relocated to another country, which is also explained by the Aquarius horoscope, as the 11th lord is in the 12th house. Jupiter becomes the 12th lord in the Navamsha chart, confirming the Aquarius lagna’s settlement in a faraway nation.
In this example, if we apply the Pisces lagan, Jupiter in the 11th house does not indicate a settlement in another country during its dasha.
- Marriage Delay: The native married in 1981, when he was 32 years old, during his Rahu-Mercury dasha. There was a significant delay in marriage at the time. Now, this could be plausible from the Aquarius lagna, where Saturn rules the 7th house and the 7th lord Sun receives Saturn’s aspect, indicating a delay in marriage. The 7th lord Moon receives the aspect of Saturn from the 6th lord in Navamsha. It has been found that when Saturn rules the 7th house, 7th lord, and/or Venus in both Rashi and Navamsha charts, marriage is delayed.
In the Rashi chart, the 7th house receives the Jupiter aspect if we apply the Pisces lagan. The lagna in Navamsha shows Venus obtaining an aspect from Jupiter in the 9th house, indicating an early marriage combo. As a result, this point also shows that the native’s lagna must be Aquarius exclusively. Since his Saturn dasha began in 2005, the native’s wife has been suffering from ‘Vata’ ailments. It is simply explained by the Aquarius lagan and the presence of Saturn in the Rashi chart’s 7th house. As a result, I set the Aquarius ascendant for the native to 01:00 a.m. exclusively.
Now I’m looking at the horoscope of this native’s daughter, whose birth occurred at the intersection of two ascendants.
In the instance of this young lady, the ascendant was rising near the junction of Aries and Taurus.
- Marriage: This young lady’s father was concerned about her marriage. From June 2015 until June 2018, she was in the Venus-Venus Vimshottari dasha. I was given the Taurus lagan chart in my palm, and his father inquired about her daughter’s wedding plans. He had visited numerous astrologers over the years, and her daughter, now 34, was frustrated because she couldn’t find the proper spouse for herself. I advised this gentleman that her daughter’s horoscope could only be of Aries lagna since it indicates a delay in marriage. The placement of three benefic planets Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus in the Taurus lagna horoscope would have provided her with a timely marriage. In the Navamsha, Jupiter is in the 7th house, while Saturn, the lagna lord, is well-placed in the 11th house, indicating marriage at the appropriate age in the Taurus lagan chart.
However, if we look at the chart from the Aries ascendant, we can observe that Saturn is in the 7th house, and the 7th lord Venus is in combustion in the 8th house, indicating that her marriage will be delayed. Venus, the 7th lord, is in the ‘Paap-Kartari’ yoga, which explains the difficulties in achieving marital bliss. The Navamsha lagna shifts to Sagittarius, with the lagna and 7th lord in an unfavorable position.
- She received her higher education in Canada after emigrating from India in 1998. Only the Aries lagna can explain her migration to a strange place. The 4th Lord Moon enters the 12th House here. During her Mercury-Moon dasha in Vimshottari, she traveled to Canada. The placement of planets in the 12th house in Navamsha indicates her relocation to another country. If we look at the Taurus lagna, the 4th lord Sun, together with benefic planets in the 7th house, would not have provided her with a foreign settlement and family.
- Skin allergies and a tense relationship with her father: Due to a tense relationship with her father and difficulties at work, this young girl was suffering from skin allergies and despair. These things are also abundantly obvious from the Aries horoscope, where Mercury, the 6th lord, is in the 8th house, indicating skin ailments. The negative exchange between the 8th lord Mars and the 9th lord Jupiter indicates friction in the father-daughter connection. Her career was hampered by the dasha of ‘Maraka’ Venus, which was poorly placed in the 8th house. Because of its relationship with the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter, Venus enters Raja Yogas and Dhana Yogas in the Taurus lagna.
As a result of the circumstances described above, I assigned this native an Aries ascendant.
