Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. R.P. Sharma – Ph.D., Acharya in Predictive Astrology, practising since 1979, over a million consultations.
What names are suitable for a baby born under Punarvasu Nakshatra?
For a child with the Moon in Punarvasu, choose names beginning with the syllables “Ke,” “Ko,” “Ha,” or “Hi,” which correspond to the Nakshatra’s ruling deity Aditi and the benefic Sun. These sounds harmonize the Moon’s placement and support the native’s natural optimism. A simple remedy is chanting the “Om Aditi” mantra to reinforce the protective influence.
How accurate are astrological predictions, really?
Predictions are as accurate as the birth data and the correct analysis of the Lagna, houses, and planetary periods (dashas). When the Ascendant, Moon sign, and Mahadasha are examined together, the results reflect the natural laws described in the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. Consistency improves with regular observation of transits and dasha changes.
Can astrology change destiny, or does it only guide?
Astrology reveals the karmic patterns indicated by the houses and planetary periods, offering guidance rather than altering fate. By performing appropriate remedies—such as the “Om Namah Shivaya” mantra for a weak Saturn or donating to a cause ruled by the afflicted planet—the native can mitigate difficulties and enhance favorable outcomes within the framework of destiny.
Is Vedic astrology more reliable than Western astrology?
Vedic astrology bases its reliability on the fixed zodiac, lunar mansions (nakshatras), and the dasha system, which provide precise timing for events, unlike the primarily sign‑based Western approach. The use of the Moon’s position in a specific Nakshatra and the planetary periods (e.g., Vimshottari Dasha) gives a clearer map of cause and effect as outlined in classical texts.
What if an astrologer's prediction turns out wrong?
If a forecast does not materialize, re‑examine the birth chart for possible parivartana (planetary exchange) or a changed dasha that may have shifted the timing. Often the original prediction was valid for a later period; a corrective remedy such as chanting the relevant planet’s mantra can realign the energy.
Online astrologer vs. local astrologer – which is better for naming a child?
A local astrologer can verify the exact birth time and perform a detailed Lagna‑purusha analysis, which is essential for selecting a name that matches the child’s Ascendant and Moon Nakshatra. While online tools provide quick syllable suggestions, they lack the nuanced assessment of planetary strengths (shadbalas) that a personal reading offers.
How is a free automated horoscope different from a paid human reading?
An automated chart uses generic planetary positions and cannot interpret the subtle strength of each planet in the houses or the current dasha sequence. A personalized reading examines the specific lord of the 5th house, the Nakshatra of the Moon, and applies classical remedies, giving a tailored guidance that a free algorithm cannot provide.
