In the modern scientific age, the attitude towards astrology is, in general, very skeptical. Though astrology is based on intuitive wisdom, it is founded on rational knowledge like any other science. But some believe that it is superstition, others say that it makes a man fatalistic. Many make comment that whatever is going to happen will happen; so there is no use knowing about it in advance. Others state that it is nothing but a means of exploiting people at the time of crisis. It is also said that it is not scientific and that it hinders national progress.

In spite of these charges, people in every walk of life—the rank atheist, the enlightened spiritualist, the rich and the poor, the ruler and the ruled, the employed and the unemployed, the communist and the democrat, the materialist and the spiritualist—all want to know their future through the help of astrology. Time and again, questions have been raised about its rationale. Besides setting forth its rationality, this book tries to eradicate misconceptions from the minds of the general readers and help in forming a clear idea among those who believe in it and practice it as professionals.
