The karmas of the previous life also come into the role-play while decoding the secrets of the Hindu astrology. Horoscope basically can be called a mirror of our previous life’s karma (both good and bad) on the basis of which the course of action for the current life depends and is decided. Just in case that we get to know about the time period of the bad phase of our life (which is a result of previous life’s bad karmas) in advance; then we can defuse the forthcoming troubles and problems while working towards the improvement of the overall quality of life.

Similarly, if we are aware of our good phases, we can maximize the utilization of that time-period by making bigger investments along with the willingness to take major risks in making bigger and important decisions long pending during this time of our life so that the results remain in our favor and the process remains smooth.
