Right from the time a child is born until his or her death; Hindus see their astrological charts to take their next move. A horoscope is prepared on the basis of the date, time and place of child's birth. It will have information pertaining to the child's future in terms of growth, education, health, and career and general too. Even the name of the child will be based on the birth star at the time of the birth.

The most basic elements of Hindu Astrology are the Nine Planets, the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac and the Twelve Houses of the chart. These three are the most significant without which finding the astrological inputs of any person would become very difficult. Also, the best thing about Hindu Astrology is the fact that it gives us remedies using which we can either completely ward off or atleast lessen the intensity of the ill-effects that one has to face due to the good and bad things he or she has done in their past.
