Re: Someone Guide Me Here...
This topic is very interesting. Some wise messages have been posted already.
In my experience so far, astrology has been very helpful - for me to believe in astrology for one part, the most important thing is - to believe in fate, destiny and god.
Although not even a student of astrology, I can be best described as a great enthusiast of this science and thus I have studied my chart very carefully, taking numerous pointers from Jyotishis over the cyberspace, where I have been lucky getting several readings in the past. What emerged is a set of concrete patterns or a clear picture of how my natal planets are operating - who makes me the reserved introvert, who gives me job, who gives me sickness and other misfortunes.
I too concur with the idea that one should avoid getting used to this shastra for expecting guidance on day to day matters to the point one will get addicted or one will rely on the planets alone and fail to do one's duty - but knowing one's natal chart and the way planets work for one can help you pick your ishta-devata, can help you overcome obstacles by doing pariharas and so forth. As B.V.Raman said, "Fools obey planets while wise men can control them". A wise jyotishi can give you the right mantras that can even ascend you spiritually, following the patterns in your natal chart! (similar to a "diksha guru").
In my belief, Shri Chandrashekhar Sharma ji is an excellent Jyothishi - he knows me personally and knows my entire background, and he has sweetly answered numerous questions of mine with so much patience. He has been right on target when he predicted when I will get job, etc. He is a scholar who authors the book 'Vedic Astrology Demystified'.
