We all are well versed with the saying that ‘Prevention is better than Cure’. Preventive Measures suggested by an Astrologer also, serves the same purpose.
An efficient Astrologer forewarns the individual about the onset of any Calamity or Hardships and reduces the mental and Physical Stress by making the individual perform Preventive Measures in terms of Donation (daan), Prayers (Recitation of Mantras), wearing gems etc. which helps his client to forego the hardships.
But, can performing Preventive Measures, completely remove the Calamity or wash away the hardships from one's life.
The answer is ‘No’ but it can certainly reduce the ill-effect.
The Karmic Theory -It is believed that Man has to bear the fruits of his Karmas. The punishment, however, can be reduced or the rewards can be multiplied by practicing the right Karmas or Actions, but nothing can be added or subtracted from one's Destiny.
An efficient Astrologer forecasts the 'Rainfall' (danger or calamity) in one's life and equips them with an Umbrella or Macintosh (Preventive Guidance).
If it is to rain cat's & dogs, warns them to remain inside and thus PREVENTS them from getting soaked or if at all one has to go out they experience only the splashes or sprinkles. Remember, The Astrologer can not stop the rains to come.
Remedial Measures on the other hand are done after one realizes that it is 'the hard time' and then approaches the Astrologer. The Astrologer then guides them in terms of Donation, prayers, Gem therapy and through other Alternate Therapies to overcome the hardships.
