DETERMINATION OF BIRTH STAR IN
ASTROLOGY

How is it determined that one is born under a
particular star ? It is determined according to the position of Moon nearest to
the star in the sky. Am I right ? Therefore the position of the star concerned
is the vital point in determining the birth star. Now the main point is that
the stars in the sky are very far away in the sky. It is also a fact that when
we see any object, we only see it either by the light emitted by it or by
reflection of light. We also know that light takes time to travel. The light
from the Sun takes about eight (8) minutes to travel from the Sun to our eyes
on earth. In the same way, light from stars takes time to reach our eyes. Light
travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. A light year means the distance
covered by running at the speed of light, i.e.at the speed of 1,86,000 miles per
second. The stars in the sky are so far
away that even at such high speed, light
takes many years to travel from a star in the sky to our eyes on earth. Most of
the stars in the 12 zodiac signs are between 50 light years to 1000 light years
away from the earth. It means that light takes about 50 years to travel from
the star to our eyes on earth in case of a star which is 50 light years away
from earth. If the star is 500 light years away, light will take 500 years to
travel from the star to the earth. So, when we see a star at a particular point
in the sky, we see the light emitted by it some 50, 100, 500 or 1000 years
prior to the time we see it. The star actually may or may not be in the same
position as we see it. We only see the light and decide that the star is at
that point only and make our calculation of position of Moon, and other planets
in the sky. The entire calculation process is based on the assumption that the
star is actually there where we see it. But this assumption is an assumption
only and not the truth.
On the basis of the above facts it is clear that the astrological theory that life and destiny of a person has any relation with stars including the zodiac signs and position of planets are all based on assumptions and imaginary ideas and are not real.
