"What is this grahachaaram?"
This is the most commonly used word in Tamilians daily language. This grahachaaram is nothing but the result or effects of the movement and positioning of the planets.
The postioning of the planets, stars, zodiac signs at a particular point of time, are used to predict the past, present and future. This technique of prediction is the astrology told by the Siththars.
There might be some wrong predictions in the horoscope, but there is no chance of this astrology to go wrong is my opinion. If one's birth time is told correctly and the predictions are done in the right way, then there is no chance of these astrology to go wrong.
The fundamental or basic criteria that the Siththars use to predict the astrology is listed out below.
- Stars
- Time of the Sun's northward or southward course
- Zodiac signs
- Seasons
- The leader of the stars
- The zodiacal sign rising at the moment of one's birth
- Planets
- Facing of the plantes
- The govering houses of the planets
- The peak states of the planets
- The time that the planets stay in the sign's place
If predictions are done by taking all the above criterias into considerations then the consequent effects and results for present, past and future are done correctly. This is the traditional method told by the Siththars for the prediction of astrology.
As an example for this some of the songs of Agathiyar are given below.
"ஞாயிறு திங்கள் செவ்வாய் நற்குரு வெள்ளி கூடிற்
gnaayiru thingal sevvaai narkuru velli koodir
காயுரு பிதிர் துவேஷி காரிரா கூவும் காணே
kaayuru pithir thuvaeshi kaariraa koovum kaanae"
- அகத்தியர் (Agathiyar)
"இனியதொரு மிதுன பலன் கேளு கேளு
iniyathoru mithuna palan kaelu kaelu
..................................................................
தனிமையா லிருபத்தேட்டில் கண்டால்
thanimaiyaa lirupaththaettil kandaal
தரும் சுபகிரகமே பார்த்தால் மைந்தா
tharum subakirakamae paarththaal mainthaa
தக்கதோர் வருஷம் அறுபத்து மைந்தும்
thakkathoar varusham arubaththu mainthum
தரையினில் லிருப்பார் என்று ராயப்பா
tharaiyinil liruppaar enru raayappaa"
- அகத்தியர் (Agathiyar)
