Do you feel that kundali and rashi is the name which is give to our superstitions combined with paranormal that can only be appreciated by mystics and people that are favoured by occult; then think again. In ancient times, astrology and kundli making was considered a science. In modern age, kundali is considered to be an extension to astronomy as Kundli is nothing but a graphical representation of position of planets at the time and place of your birth.
Rashi on the other hand is a space of about 30 degrees which is represented in the kundli by different houses. While preparing kundali, there are 12 different segments of 30 degrees each, with every segment representing a different Rashi or zodiac signs. Each rashi is classified in different segments based on their nature. The first rashi is Mesha or Aries which is actually a constellation that appears like the figure of lord Ram.
The other rashi signs in kundli include Taurus which is represented by a symbol of bull, Gemini the famous twins, Cancer which is represented by a Crab, Virgo the symbol of virgin, Leo represented by Lion, Libra represented by balancing scale, scorpion representing Scorpio, centaur - the symbol of Sagittarius rashi, crocodile representing Capricorn, water pot, the symbol of Aquarius and inverted pair of fish denoting Pisces rashi in the kundali map. The position of rashi in the kundli helps the astrologer in coming up with authentic predictions.
By reading the various tables and maps that forms the part of the kundli jyotish is able to suggest dangers, opportunities and challenges which can come in the life of the individual. After studying kundali, astrologers are able to predict the nature, personality and tendency of the individual and also the probability of the occurrence of an event.
However individuals should not take every prediction made by jyotish after seeing your kundli as the thing which is irreversible and which cannot be changed. For astrologers can predict our future based on the position of planets in our kundali but we should not forget that we are the makers of our own destiny and can shape our future with our strong will power.
