Astrology and Engineering: Analysis and Synthesis

I would look astrology as a pure science where research is based on analysis and synthesis. Current astrology is about going and reading what is already present and it does not add much to the glossary. It either refers Parashar or Jemini or mix of both for doing analysis (both are great guys kind of Newton and Einstein of Astrology). if we look at the current physics, we look at Newton or Einstein as a great scientist, but science does not stop there. But astrology do not proceed much beyond them. BPHS (brihat parashara hora shastra) is still the most widely accepted book among astrologer. Not all astrologers predict as per BPHS only, but not many are trying to quantify when to follow BPHS and when not to. And they tell it as mix of science and arts.

Future research needs to quantify it and tell how to follow the details. Astrology is based on stochastic theory and probabilistic model. It needs to auto correct after adding random sample data.

For example, foreign trip was bad in past and people who cant afford to stay at home are using it. Now it is a part of luxury and prestige. So astrology needs correct itself for foreign trips. Marriage is an institution in India, but it is just staying together at some of the countries. SO one needs to analyze accordingly.

Vimsottari dasha is most widely accepted Dasha, but not all predictions coming from Vimsottari dasha are right. Researcher need to figure out when it coming wrong, and what Dasha should be used.
