If a birth chart manifests our past life deeds then can it indicate something about the life after death also? And if these two aspects are not true, what is the importance of “free will” that people talk about? We spoke to Dr. Vinay Bajrangi, the top Indian Vedic astrologer, who has been revealing many Vedic astrological marvels to help educate the astrological postulates propagated by the Saptrishis to the public at large and also is effectively engaged in lifting the donnish and conservative veil from astrology. He is a Karma corrector who has mastered the art of past life reading and is a distinguished birth time rectifier. He has the unique ability to read the past and future life from the horoscopes. In this release, we sought some answers on the horoscopes of the dead people.
Question: Does a horoscope tell about past and next life also?
Dr. Vinay Bajrangi: Yes! Your birth chart being imprint of your past life, tells about your next life also. I have been explaining this theology of astrology since the beginning. The placements planets that one gets in his/her horoscope is not a random placement but has been meticulously allotted by the Almighty after carefully studying the deeds done by him/her in the previous birth(s). Now, the allotted planets may have some good Yogas (combinations) and some bad. The positive combinations are the blessing earned from the previous births, whereas the bad combinations are the previous birth curses. These good and bad combinations push the native into a roller coaster life of good and bad experiences.
However, one also has some amount of free will, which depends upon the placement of Jupiter in the horoscope. Using this free will, one can alter these results to some extent. The cycle continues & whatever way, you use this free will decide birth chart of your next birth. So, everyone's primary fight is to effectively use free will to alter the bad karma into the good ones. Through effective astrological reading and guidance, one can use this free will to the maximum benefit.
Question: Is the horoscope relevant for birth after birth?
DVB: Planets, placements of planets in certain signs, and certain Nakshatras are the basics of every horoscope. From these placements, we arrive at the Panchangna, the Dashas (periods), the Shodashvargas (finer charts), and the Asthakvarga. The Dashas are said to rotate every one hundred twenty years. A very deep and fine reading of birth chart can reveal about all the past , present & future life of a person.
Question: Which house is seen for the past and next life?
DVB: The past life of the native is evaluated through the ninth house of the horoscope, and the future life is deciphered through the fifth house. The sixth house is the pending karma that one has left undone or uncompleted in the past life. The balance of Dasha in which a person is born indicates the Dasha the soul left the body in the previous birth.
The Lagna is the knot between the previous birth and this birth and is also the indicator of the birth's purpose. The twelfth house is the indicator of the lives left until the soul of the native gets final salvation.
So, an accomplished astrologer, through the above indicators gathered from a horoscope, can sketch the previous birth, the purpose of this birth, the pending karma left in the previous birth, the main obstacles of this birth, the Dasha when his/her soul left the body in the previous birth, the Dasha when his/her soul can leave the body in the present birth and the journey of the soul in the birth(s) to come. Knowing all this, the purpose of the soul's voyage can be deduced with an indication of the timing of its salvation, i.e., getting a permanent place in ' Baikuntha', the abode of Vishnu.
Question: What happens to the birth chart of the person after one dies? Should the horoscope of dead person by seen?
DVB: See, the soul never dies; it is undergoing a voyage, and for it changes body after body. Similarly, the horoscope also lives until the final salvation of the soul. But since we attribute a horoscope to a living body, it may not be sound logical to read the soul's journey through the horoscope of a dead person. Therefore, because of it, the horoscope of a dead man is not seen.
But there are certain Doshas that run-in family and adversely affect every member of the family. To understand and propose a potent remedial measure, it sometimes becomes necessary to read the horoscope of the elderlies who have died. But in such cases, astrologer should stick to the greatest ethics of Vedic Astrology and not to scare or play with the emotions of family members left behind.
Question: This means the horoscope of a dead person indicates his future lives.
DVB: Definitely, yes! Take the case of the family of Lord Rama. Lord Rama was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu and was sixty-fourth generation in the family lineage. Iksvaku, the son of Manu, was the Sixtieth great grandfather of Lord Ram. He was to take seven births in the same family to facilitate Lord Rama's birth in the family lineage.
This gets proven if one draws the horoscope of Iksvaku and calculates his births (soul's voyage) tills its final salvation.
Question: Can all the births of the soul be calculated till its final salvation?
DVB: Why not! But let me tell you that astrology for after life is entirely different from the regular astrology predictions and analysis. And also it is a task that cannot be accomplished in a day or two. Even a master astrologer may take weeks or months together. The time one would take depends on the number of births the soul will undertake before its final resting day. More the number of births, the more time an astrologer has to spend in deducing the quality of life and purpose of each life ahead.
Drawing this journey of the soul till its final resting in 'Baikuntha' explains the efforts it had made in its journey and the accomplishment it has done of the upliftment of the human and other races.
Question: When we say the fate is fixed: Then how can free will change the fate?
DVB: One is born with the pending karmas, i.e., the karma that one has to accomplish in this birth. The ninth house governs fate. The transit of Saturn gives fate, whereas the transit of Jupiter gives free-will. We can use our free-will to our advantage, i.e., we can have our wish if the transiting Jupiter is in trines to the natal Saturn.
If the transiting Saturn is in trine to natal Jupiter, we must accept what fate wants from us. Normally, Saturn's events are fated, whereas the events originated by Jupiter are a result of own doings. The quantum of the free-will available in the horoscope can be ascertained through the placement of Jupiter in the horoscope, and the ease with which it can be used to manipulate fate is seen through its connection with the natal position of Saturn.
Suppose in a horoscope Jupiter and Saturn are sitting in 6/8 (Shadakshaka) position to each other, then it will be tough to use the free will even during the time of positive transit of Jupiter through the natal position of Saturn in the horoscope. So a judicious use of your Jupiter helps you mould the fate to your advantage to a very large extent. It all, therefore, gets dependent upon the natal position of the planets in a horoscope. More challenging positioning of planets in the horoscopes indicates a greater number of births for reaching the point of emancipation for the soul.
Question: Can astrology help in improving our next life than what is there in horoscope?
DVB: Several obstructers run in tandem in a horoscope to delay any results. The chief obstructor in them is the lord of the eleventh house for the moving sign, lord of the ninth house for a fixed sign, and lord of the seventh house for the dual sign. Appeasing this obstructor can be the most effective remedial measure for increasing free-will use in any horoscope. The remedial measures are not mere Pujas, donations, or reciting of mantras but are an effective infusion of karma correction. This karma correction is controlling the negative character induced in oneself due to that obstructer planet.
It may be a task to identify the negative character that one has due to that obstructer planet, but once it gets identified, proper care could be undertaken to set it right.
Dr.Vinay Bajrangi , one of the top astrologers in India has a profound sense of healing people through karma correction than focusing more on remedies. He has also explained relevance of past life readings and analysis for people to maneuver their Karmas in present life.
