Timing of landmark events in life

When will I be able to marry? When will I be able to secure a permanent job? When Will I be able to move into a house of my own? When will I have the bliss of a child?

- A. S. Fernando

These are some of the commonplace questions that most people would ask an astrologer. We all have an insatiable curiosity and a desire to know what our future holds in store for us; to know in particular as to when certain landmark events in life we look forward to, are likely to occur. Therefore, timing of events has become an important part of predictive Astrology.

A DIFFICULT TASK

In fact, timing of events is a more difficult and complicated task for an astrologer than delineating one’s character or assessing the potential or inherent power of a human being.

Timing of events is a task that calls for a correct assessment of the effects that the planets produce and an accurate determination as to when such effects materialize.

Astrologers rely on Dasas and concurrent transits of planets for predicting the times when the planets produce good or bad effects.
