☼ The cosmic effects on the Individuals on the Earth are the study of Astrology. Predictive Astrology was invented by Maharishi Parasarar and was further developed by several Siddhars and Maha Rishis.

☼ The sunrise in the East and sunset in the West are the apparent views from the view point of the Earth. The Earth rotates in a west-easterly direction and this rotation gives us the view that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. This is the actual fact. The Sun Rise and Sun Set are apparent facts. Likewise, all the planets including the Earth and the Moon in the Solar family are orbiting the Sun. This is the actual view.

☼ How they look like (like the Sun Rise in the East and Sun Set in the West) from the Earth's view point, is the apparent picture that is being drawn in a Horoscope Chart also known as Natal Chart.The education and employment or earning prospects were emphasized on the man. These are the underlying truth on which the system of astrology was evolved in ancient days. The socio-economic conditions that prevailed in those ancient periods of time were different. The present diversified areas of education, employment, commerce and industry did not prevail in those days.

☼ The family structure was almost joint family system and living was almost confined to a particular place, city or village. The social order also was different. Women education and employment were not so prevalent.

☼ The present day scenario is altogether different. The women are equally or even more educated than men. Women are also shoulder the responsibility of economic burdens. They also work and hold high offices and make big fortunes out of their education and work. These are all some of the factors which influence a different line of thinking on predictive astrology. Arriving at some conclusions on certain areas of predictions can not be made as straight as it was done sometime back.

☼ The change in cultural behaviour of the Indian Communities has to be born in mind in arriving at some critical conclusions. Women re-marriage after the demise of the husband was something unimaginable in olden days.

☼ Now, conditions have altogether changed. When there is an indication or a probability in a boy's horoscope for a remarriage, the same principle was not adopted or followed in a girl's horoscope. In the advanced cultural change, a girl's remarriage is also a probability if there is an indication to that effect. This aspect need not and rather should not be overlooked in a girl's horoscope.The man was the bread winner of the family and the girl was only a home-maker.

☼ This is the basis on which the olden conclusions were derived in respect of certain aspects of horoscope study. In the modern days, the girl is equally educated, employed and making her own resources to the family. The prospects of Jeevana Sthanam, as taken into consideration in respect of a Boy's Horoscope, now carries equal weight in respect of a girl.

☼ While studying a girl's horoscope, it is imperative that her strength and probabilities of opportunities for a career should be given consideration as if it is applied to a Boy's Horoscope. In the modern day scenario, a person has to shift from place to place on account of his/her education. It is not like staying in the ancestral village or town and pursue their livelihood.

☼ Many of our predictions were based on the fact that the horoscope was settled in a permanent place and looked into its prospects of direction of living and marriage. Even today, a horoscope will indicate a good number of children. Even in villages, now awareness of family planning is widespread and no one is prepared to have more than one or two children.

☼ In several horoscopes, Puthra Bakyam will be strong without any impediment. If we look into their actual life, they will be longing for a child for many years since their marriage. The reason is not the horoscope or our forefathers who have guided predictions in a certain defined line. It is the present environmental factor that changes the whole picture.In the modern scenario ...

☼ When the Boy is educated - the Girl is equally educated or even educated a step higher than the Boy When the Boy earns and supports the family, the Girl also equally does - and in some cases the Girls are in higher layer of income and official responsibilities

☼ When the Boy makes social interactions and establishes social relations, equally does the Girl All the social, economic, educational, employment statuses and privileges that a Boy enjoys and enjoyed in the past as well are equally available to the Girl in the modern days. In some areas, the Girls are rather greater than the Boys.

☼ The only factor that requires a Girl's Horoscope has to be considered as different is that, a Girl remains a weaker gender by nature and needs to be socially protected. Her responsibilities to the family is still a predominant factor while her education and employment puts on her shoulders added stress and responsibilities.

☼ Astrology in the modern days has to be approached bearing in mind the real challenges and changes given unto it and a horoscope has to be approached with maximum possible caution bearing in mind the changed socio-economic order.
