We live on Earth. During daytime we see the Sun gradually crossing over the sky; and at nighttime, the Moon does so. The Earth is a 'Planet' of the Solar system – whereas Astronomically Sun is a 'Star' and Moon is a 'Satellite'. But in Astrological parlance, the two Luminaries (Sun and Moon), five other planets (Mars to Saturn), the two Lunar Nodes (Rahu & Ketu) have been classified together as 'Grahas' – which literally means the fast-moving large massive bodies hovering in space. As the nearest term available in the widely known language English is 'Planet, we habitually term the 'Grahas' as "Planets" – without making any distinction whether each of these is a star, planet, satellite, or node. Thus, it must not be construed that our ancient seers were not aware of the distinction; they were even very well aware of the fact that the SUN also moves round the center of the Galaxy (Milky Way), and it takes about 25, 777 years to make a complete round. Nothing in space can ever remain in a static condition.....

"– Man is a portal through which one enters from the outer world of the gods and souls to the inner world – from the greater world to the smaller world. Small and insignificant is man; one leaves him soon behind, and thus one enters once more into infinite space, into the microcosm, and into the inner eternity."
– C. G. Jung.

TAROT (actually pronounced as "Tar-ro") is a highly popular system of divination enthusiastically practiced in various parts of the world nowadays. Although to the uninitiated common people it may appear to be merely an amusing fun-game involving a deck of (22 + 56 =) 78 cards* of peculiar type, it is not merely an uncertain or unreliable method of fortune-telling for entertaining frivolous people, and answering their dud or stale queries; this ancient and novel system has been found to be really very dependable.

It is our common knowledge that often for no apparent reason, sometimes one remains in good form, while at some other times in just the obverse condition; sometimes the mind remains clear, sometimes it becomes beclouded or confused; sometimes one possesses perfect self-control, while at some other times he/ she tends to lose it almost completely. These peculiarities had long since been known to all, but the reasons behind this sort of fluctuations had remained unknown since long. With the discovery of the Bio-Rhythmic cycles, explanations for such changes became very evident. By basing upon these cycles, offering certain characteristic predictions for the future became entirely possible.....

As usual, first of all we have got to check for the presence of the combinations indicating the possibility of having some serious physical or mental handicaps. Although such things are really very rare, still there are certain serious handicaps, which can totally block the prospect of education. If any serious affliction to eye-sight and/ or serious kind of mental unsoundness is found to be present in the chart, then it would be manifestly absurd to proceed any further.....

Originally, Kota Chakra was being used for divining the outcome of a war between two warlords – one is the Lord of the Castle and the other is the Invader.
