What is Sri Lankan Astrology?

First of all, it is a must note that Sri Lanka is one of those Eastern countries where there is a significant place for astrology. There is a strong bond between astrology and the lives of people here, especially those who are traditional Sinhalese-Buddhists by birth. Nevertheless, there are many occasions where the non-Buddhists Sri Lankans seek the aid of astrology due to a number of valid reasons.

Besides, astrology is popular as Jyothishya in Sri Lanka, which means Science of the light. Most importantly, in Lankan astrology, the primary belief is that there is a connection between astronomical bodies and peoples destinies. However, that theory is based on scientific factors such as gravity and radiation. According to the birth time, date, and geometric area, a person will get a zodiac sign and a set of constellations (Raashi). Meanwhile, the time of birth means the time of the babys first cry. Sri Lankan astrological belief is the influence of the relevant constellations on the persons life. Further, the astrological belief is that the motion of astronomical bodies/ constellations influences humans from birth until death.

Furthermore, in Sri Lankan astrology, another belief is that people get designated with different zodiac signs and constellations depending on the energy they have earned through previous lives. They are the well-known Karmas. Karma means the good deeds or evil deeds that the people have been doing during their cycle of samsara or the previous lives.
