In the classical Indian tradition, astrology is the study of cosmic patterns and their influence on human life.
It involves detailed mathematical calculations, symbolic interpretation, and careful observation of planetary cycles. A birth chart is studied as a map showing tendencies, challenges, opportunities, and periods of change.
Astrology does not remove free will. Instead, it provides perspective — helping individuals understand timing, inner patterns, and the forces shaping their experiences so they can make wiser, more aligned choices.
