Yogas & Doshams

Every men/women either enjoys the luxury or suffer the sorrows of this world to exhaust his good or bad karma (deeds) before he/she faces death.

Astrology tells us about Good & Bad Yogas. Bad Yogas are often referred to as ‘Dosham’. These Good and Bad Yogas reflected in our Horoscope is the result of Good/Bad Karma (Deeds) done in our previous life.

There is no short cut or escape route available to bypass this karma. With the help of Horoscope, and by analyzing the ‘dosham’, one can easily understand the deeds done by him his previous life.

By doing the remedial measures and avoiding the repeat of the same sin in this life, anyone can come out of his trouble, very easily. Thus Horoscope acts as a navigator in our present life
