Questions as to whether Astrology could be subscribed to or not are also asked frequently. According to Astrology, man’s destiny is conditioned by the positions of the planets. Let us now look into the matter. The entire Universe is functioning so perfectly that all the levels of energy are inter-connected.

The birth of an individual takes place according to the imprints already made and stored and at a particular point in time, when the planets are in a particular position. As when and how we develop our mind and willpower, we can surely change destiny or the influence of planets. For this purpose, some systematized method is necessary to streamline one’s thoughts, strengthen the mind and increase will-power.

How can we change our destiny?

What is that method? Yoga undoubtedly, with faith in the Cause-and Effect system, which is as valid in Nature as the Law of Gravity. Through the practice of Yoga you can exercise the mind to work according to your will and to work in unison with the speed of the body. If the speed of the body is at one level and that of the mind at a different conflict and disturbances occur. So, if you develop your spiritual knowledge you will understand the speed, effect and value of your mind and you will understand how you could act to adjust to the speed and capability of your body. You have to correlate your mind and body with your wisdom. That is Spirituality. Spiritual knowledge is the knowledge to deal with materials correctly without causing ill-effects and also to develop the Consciousness day-by-day enlightenment. That is the spiritual life.

In conclusion, by understanding the self by realization, realization of the existence and functions of the mind and realization of the soul, one can change one’s destiny entirely even. By improving the will-power, by changing the pattern of life and the pattern of thinking, you can superimpose or dissipate the present imprints. You can get rid of them altogether or change them or at least reduce their force. All this will come only by a regular and systematic psychic practice and moral behavior in deeds. It is this practice that is Yoga.
