Tamil Astrology- Basic concept
Tamil Astrology is an Occult Science that
tells us about that deep rooted connection between the celestial bodies and
human beings. Since time immemorial people have been struggling to fathom the
mysterious connection that exists between man and the heavenly bodies. But
there is one thing that Tamil Astrology teaches us for sure- It teaches us that
each one of us have been sent on this Earth for a specific task. Each task is
designed specifically for every individual and it is not transferable. The Sun,
Moon, galaxy of stars and planets impart energies and attach themselves to us
through invisible cords. These magical cords act as communication transmitters.
Tamil Astrology translates the message encoded by the celestial bodies. Thus by
understanding Tamil Astrology, we will be able to fathom, if not all, some of
the essence of the connection that prevails between us and the milky Way.
Tamil Astrology as a remedy for curiosity
One of the distinct characteristics of
human beings is that we are very curious. Before any event is about to take
place, we would want to know the outcome of it. Patience is an attribute we
hope to acquire but in vain. Be it a cricket match or an exam, our level of
expectancy and anticipation devours our ability to patiently wait for the
result. Our life is like a movie, creator by our Creator and Director, God.
Astrology is the script that contains the details of our role, and we of course
are the actors. So in order to put up a good performance, we need to understand
the script well. We need to be able to grasp its essence and connect it to our
heart. Likewise, we need to understand Astrology. Now let us take you into the
depth of Astrology.
Rasi Palan/ Rasi Palangal in Tamil
Astrology
In Tamil Astrology, the sky is segmented
into 12 parts. These 12 parts of the sky are called Zodiac Signs or Rasi in
Astrology. Apart from whatever we have learnt about planets in Science,
Astrology tells us how all the planets play a major role in moulding our life.
According to Tamil Astrology, these Planets (Graha) exude energies that have an
impact on our day to day lives. Tamil Astrology consists of Horoscopes/Rasi
Palan or Rasi Palangal. Every individual has a Rasi Palan. These Rasi Palan
tell us about about miscellaneous aspects of our lives. Rasi Palan tells us
about our career, life partner, property, children, love, health, etc.
According to Tamil Astrology, Rasi Palan or horoscope is a chart. This Chart
tells us about how all the planets/ Grahas were placed at the time of our
birth, or whenever we are about to do something. Surya, Chandra, Kuja (Mars)
and all the other planets' position reflect on the impact that they will have
on us.
Planets and Zodiac Signs in Tamil Astrology
Tamil Astrology has different names of
planets. According to Tamil Astrology the Sun, which is the most powerful
planet is called Surya. Astrology tells us that Surya symbolises serenity and
wisdom. In Tamil Astrology, the mighty Surya governs Simmam (Leo) Rasi. The
Moon in Tamil Astrology is called Chandra. This planet imparts feminine
attributes. In Tamil Astrology it is the second planet. It governs over Kadagam
(Cancer) Rasi. The third planet in Tamil Astrology is Kuja or Mars. This is a
very significant Graha as it can have very influential impact on a person. They
could be both negative and positive. Kadagam is a very fierce planet. In Tamil
Astrology, it rules over Mesham (Aries) and Viruchigam ( Scorpio) Rasi. Mars
has a major impact on males. The fourth Grah as per Tamil Astrology is Buddha
or Mercury. Graha Budha is the closest planet to Surya and has the qualities of
intellect, ferocity, fragility. This planet too has both negative and positive
qualities. Buddha dominates over Midhunam Rasi ( Gemini) and Kanni (Virgo)
Rasi. Buddha Graha is also known to impart education and knowledge. Planet
Jupiter is called Guru is Tamil Astrology. As the name suggests, this Graha is
the personification of Wisdom. It symbolises virtue and impartiality. Guru is
powerful and decent in every way possible. It governs Dhanusu (Sagittarius) and
Meenam Rasi.
According to Tamil Astrology Sukra or Venus
is the fifth planet/ graha. Sukra dominates over Rishabam ( Taurus) and Thulaam
( Libra) Rasi. Graha Sukra signifies wealth and prosperity. But it is in
constant tussle with Chandra and Surya. If Sukra gets along well with them the
that person will be mightily blessed and if it doesn't then the concerned
person's life will be ill- fated as per their horoscope/ Rasi palan. Sani/
Saturn is considered the most mysterious planet in Tamil Astrology. Sani always
shares inimical relations with Chandra. It is a powerful planet but its
composition makes it fearsome. Sani graha dominates over Magaram ( Capricorn)
and Kumbam ( Aquarius) Rasi. According to Tamil Astrology Rahu is considered a
negative planet. There are several stories that revolve around it. Astronomy
does not take Rahu into consideration but Tamil Astrology does as it has
malefic impact on individuals. No planet has been alotted to Rahu. Finally, the
last planet in Tamil Astrology is Ketu ( South Node). This is again a shadowy
planet. But Ketu shares characteristics similar to that of Kuja/ Mars hence it
is not considered as malefic as Rahu. Ketu too has not been allotted any planet
in Tamil Astrology.
Essence of Tamil Astrology
Tamil is one of the most ancient languages
in India. As a matter of fact it is considered one of the oldest language in
the world. Hence, there are crores of people who use it proudly as their mother
tongue. The vastness of this ancient language brings in the importance of
Astrology being more comprehensive in Tamil. Tamil Astrology has always been
regarded for its accurate predictions. With the help of Tamil Astrology we are
not merely enlightened about our future, but we can also carve out means for
the betterment. Tamil Astrologers aim to promote prosperity in the world.
Rather than confining this magnificent Occult Science to people who comprehend
Tamil, we must spread the knowledge far and wide so that people may gain from
it. Tamil Astrology is used by Astrologers for the welfare of mankind.
