THE USE OF FIXED STARS IN ASTROLOGY (THE FULL TEXT OF MY THESIS)

The use of fixed stars has not been explored and used much in natal astrology for thefollowing reasons:1.

Due to the fatalistic interpretations given from time immemorial, the subject has notaroused keen interest.2.

For historical and intellectual reasons, backed by the judiciary of the times, the studyof astrology and the fixed stars suffered much set back.3.

For many centuries due to lack of transparency in communication and non-availability of literature with easy access on the subject, the utility of this subjectwith a rich heritage was lacking.4.

Changes with the pattern of life and a lack of scientific temperament also stalled the progressive use of fixed stars in astrological interpreations.The main reasons to select this topic on “The Use of Fixed Stars in Astrology” as a subjectfor the thesis written by Mr. A. S. Writer are :1.

To make attempts to bring in a scientific temperament on the subject.2.

To link the subject from the times of the Aryans, the propogators of the knowledgeof the cosmos, the planets and the stars and their related phenomena to the ancientcivilizations, on of which is India, that is Bharat, apart from knowing the philosophicl thoughts of those times.3.

To make attempts to show the authenticity of the knowledge used in theinterpretations of the fixed stars on the lives of human beings. The case studies aredivided into two sections: 1)Celebrated case studies; and 2)Case studies of personswhom he has met personally for a continuous period and noted the events in their lives.After burning the midnight oil for many years together, to collect and go through thelitereature which is not available so easily on this subject, Mr. Writer has done justice to hiswork and provided ample material and case studies to enable interested and serious studentsto use it for further study and research.My experience tells me tht the study and application of the fixed stars along with the natalchart in its totality will enable astrologers to give a new dimension and direction for the betterment of the lives of the common man, so that they could be assisted to acquire theright attitude in times of crises, improve their living status and grow in spiritual knowledge,as was the main aim of our great ancestors who have handed over the message of the stars tous.
