It is astrology to note that no two human beings are alike (even the twins behave differently). Everybody is curious to know the factors which are responsible for these dissimilarities.

Psychologists and Psychiatrists are able to understand the defects and the behavior of the human being only when certain manifestations are observed and made known to them. Competent and best astrologers can predict what type of manifestations may occur. This is being done through the study of planets at the time of birth and their transits in the subsequent period of life. For this purpose Westerners turn to the progressed horoscopes where as Indian astrologers study meticulously the Dasa-Antardasa mechanism of various planets. This is the only Indian system which can help for indicating the events in broader lines of life and also longevity.

Competent astrologers can also forecast the various types of diseases that a subject is likely to suffer. These facilities are not available with the scientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and physicians. No physicians on this earth can tell accurately the type of diseases that a new born baby is likely to suffer in the near future. Astrology can really help us in this matter and if we take certain preventive measures, we can avoid (or atleast minimize its effects) many dangerous diseases. Physicians, psychologists do not understand the cause of mental disorders. From astrological stand point these diseases are t be viewed primarily from the affliction of Lagna, 4th house (Sukha Sthana), 5th house (Intelligence), Moon (Mind), and Mercury (symbol of intelligence). If a powerful affliction of Mercury or Lagna or the Moon has the contact of Rahu, one can be certain that no medical treatment would be of any avail. To tell the truth, present level of astrological knowledge however, may not enable us to pinpoint whether one's insanity (melancholia, mania, hysteria, epilepcy, schizophrenia, amnesia, idiocy, perversion, obsession and lunacy) is due to mental or brain disorder. In this article I shall now describe how astrology can help us to understand the inner structure of mind and human nature.

Mind

Mind as per Oxford Dictionary means the seat of consciousness through volition and feeling. This seat is situated in the brain. The brain and mind is not identical but not unrelated. In fact, they are closely related. In the human body the brain acts as the controller while the other organs, feeling, willing, etc. Mind is divided into four major divisions: Super- Conscious Mind (9th house); Unconscious mind (6th house); Subconscious mind (8th house) and conscious mind (1st house) or alert mind (3rd house). Negative portion of the superconscious mind is the lower mind.

My researches have revealed that when lower mind is well developed (i.e. in the case criminals) super intelligence faculty is not enriched.

The conscious mind works while we are awake. But the subconscious mind works during both, the awake and the asleep position. In the awake position, the functioning of the subconscious is guided and corrected by the conscious mind. The conscious mind can take action; it can evoke memory when it wants to; it can think actively towards a certain objective.

It is estimated that the amount which can be stored in the subconscious mind is very many times more than in the conscious mind. The mind stores layers upon layers of thought in its subconscious. Unfulfilled desires are buried here. They live in day dreams, night dreams, nightmares, fears, intensified fears or phobia. In fact, in popular parlance, the conscious mind compared to the subconscious is often linked to the iceberg - the part of ice-berg not in the sea representing the conscious mind and the hidden part standing for the subconscious mind. Subconscious mind can also store signals, sounds, emotions, and impressions; but even though it is not active like the conscious mind, the subconscious mind can play a large part in the thinking and behavior of a person.
