Do You Believe In Omen? Good And Meaningful Answers Are Welcomed.?

Question

One of friend, who is “expert” in horary astrology, once told me that they give lot of importance to omen while casting horary horoscope. Is omen and astrology interrelated? I request some expert astrologers to explain in details!

Answer 1

Astrology as we know it developed in Babylonian times and first came about because people would chart astronomical phenomena against mundane events and eventually built up a correlation between the two. So it could be said that astrology came from astrological omen-lore.



Also some vedic astrologers look at omens, so if a leaf falls from a tree or a bird flies by at the time when the client walks in this will in some way tell their brilliant minds something extra. I think this is amazing.



But astrology is founded upon the phrase 'as above so below' and I believe that there is no huge vacuum betwen the above and the below, but rather we have a whole 'onion ring' concept where there is the below of the person and layers and layers of above which expand out to the solar system. In between we have the whole of nature which can provide these omens.

Answer 2

Hi,

I think you may have heard your friend wrong. Horary astrology is drawing a chart up in response to a question that is asked and the chart is drawn up the MOMENT the question is asked.

Interpreting 'omens' and prophetic signs is a form of divination for instance a black cat is an 'omen' of bad luck in England. Red sky at night suggests the next day's going to be fine. Astrology and omens aren't really related as such, other than if perhaps your friend meant that the chart drawn up at a specific time is an 'omen' or a sign of what could lie in store.

An omen, or portent, is a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the future, often signifying the advent of change.



Interpretation of omens and prophetic signs is a form of divination.



Omens may be considered "good" or "bad", but the term is more often used in a foreboding sense, as with the word "ominous".



In ancient Rome

Ancient Roman religion employed two distinct types of professional omen readers. Augurs interpreted the flights of birds, while haruspices employed animal sacrifice to obtain the entrails necessary for divination.



In the field of astrology, solar and lunar eclipses (along with the appearance of comets and to some extent the Full Moon) have often been considered omens of notable births, deaths, or other significant events throughout history in many societies.



Princess Diana is sometimes cited as an example of such phenomena, due to several eclipses which occurred on or near days of significant events in her life [1] . July 29, 1981, the day of her wedding to Prince Charles, was the date of a solar eclipse; June 21, 1982, the birth date of Prince William, was another. A lunar eclipse occurred on December 9, 1992, the date of her formal separation from Prince Charles. Another solar eclipse occurred on August 31, 1997, one day before her death.



Skeptics of astrology, divination, and clairvoyance frequently contend that such occurrences are coincidence, or that meaningful events can only be associated with portents after they have already occurred, thereby negating their value as a means of prediction.



Omens may be considered either good or bad depending on their interpretation. The same sign may be interpreted differently by different people or different cultures.



For example, a superstition in the United States indicates that a black cat is an omen of bad luck, while in the United Kingdom it is considered a good omen.



Comets also have been considered to be both good and bad omens. The best-known example is probably Halley's Comet, which was a "bad omen" for King Harold II of England but a "good omen" for William the Conqueror.
