If the answer to any of these questions is yes then read on further about astrological remedies. Lets understand that astrology is not only deterministic but it is also given to the mankind to change the course of events to avert the misery, agony and disaster threatened by evil influences of certain inauspicious combinations or dispositions of planets by taking appropriate remedial measures in time.

Astrology has now come to be recognized as a vast science diagnostic as well as remedial. According to astrology all the sufferings of mankind (individual or country as whole) are due to planetary afflictions and there are remedial measures to alleviate or mitigate the sufferings if not completely neutralize it.

The approach to astrological remedies is quite scientific and is in accordance with the modern line of thinking. Man, is no doubt , a creature of destiny, but he is not entirely or absolutely its slave. Man has some freedom of will and action also. If man has no such freedom, how can he overcome his karma and attain salvation or how will his soul merge with universal soul. Thus it should be accepted that there is no place for fatalism in astrology.

Fate and Free will are two blades of a scissor and we still do not know which blade operates in cutting a paper. It is man’s supreme duty to do his mite irrespective of results like a “Nishkama Karmayogi”. It is true that errors of judgement creep in when we are destined. Miscalculations occur and our reasoning faculty become inoperative and ineffective. The most important utility of astrology is to forewarn man to enable him to forearm himself to face troubles and calamities and to take steps to in accordance with remedial principles of astrology to overcome or atleast minimize the evil effects expected. To illustrate, if rain is inevitable and we cannot escape from it or avert it, either we don’t go out or take steps to avoid getting wet by the use of a rain coat or an umbrella. This is the precise scope and function for remedial measures in astrology.

The law of karma is not stifling and one only gets what one sows, yet it provides options and allows room for the operation of free will. In other words it provides a system where action of a kind, though in the process of bearing results, can be maneuvered into relatively less impactful results. That is, a certain consequence, though bound to result out of ascertain action, can be suitably amended to lose its sting. Not all causes attract the discount. Some do, some do not, yet others come partly under the relief. Remedial measures are the concomitant of the same. As in law where there are compoundable and non-compoundable offences, so also do we have planetary afflictions (arishtas or doshas) that are amenable to shanty (palliatives) and those that are not.

All the problems and maladies in one’s life are consequence of one’s karmas in the previous birth or current life and if one has birth chart, the problems he has to face are clearly sketched out in it in the form of planetary afflictions. And to mitigate and sometimes to nullify the consequences of evil affliction, our learned and farsighted ancients gave birth to the concept of remedial measures. It is through the science of astrology that the planetary malevolence is diagnosed and adequately gauged and efficacious, proven, time-tested remedies like the use of gemstones ( mani), mantras or invocations ( under the vast ambit of Mantra come also Tantra and yantra), and medicine (Aushadhi) are taken. These remedial measures generate forces in order to deflect the unhappy and evil influences which are likely to manifest as a result of malevolent configuration of planets.

According to astrology all the sufferings of mankind (individual or country as whole) are due to planetary afflictions and as said earlier there are remedial measures to alleviate or mitigate the sufferings if not completely neutralize it.
