Maharishi Jaimini is one of the most famous ancient sages of Indian astrology. He was the author of Jaimini sutras. This is very difficult to get the exact quotes from the sutras but we need to translate and interpret them in a simple language because all his teachings are in the form of aphoristic, the sutra style format. His teachings are very deep that are based on karma, destiny and outcomes.Today we are going to discuss on the quote – “Astrology Is the Science of Results, Not Causes”
What is the meaning of “Astrology Is the Science of Results”
This is the statement given by the Maharishi Jaimini that represents that astrology is not just a medium to explain “Why this happened” but this is more than that and we have to understand the results of the events that happened in one’s life. He emphasized on the outcomes that are going to happen in future. According to him, astrology is a tool to reveal that what karmic outcomes are destined to happen.
“Results not causes” – what does it mean?
According to the Jaimini astrologer, causes are related to past karma and the actions you have done in your past birth or the desires of previous births but here astrologer is not so interested to focus on the past actions because they can not be corrected or changed so now he wanted to talk about the results that will come from those karmas, sins and desires. Horoscope is your final report which tells everything about your past birth karmas and also reveals the results, which you will get in your current birth. So, according to him, planets never decide the events but they are sitting in each house to deliver the results according to your karma. Maharishi Jaimini emphasized more on what’s coming next in your life and strictly avoided focusing on why this karma formed. He was ethically working on explaining the results and outcomes of those karma that already happened in the past.
