Ramal Shastra is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs which hold that the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details can provide information about personality, human affairs and other “earthly” matters. A practitioner of Ramal Shastra is called an Ramal Jyotish. Astrologers believe that the movements and positions of celestial bodies either directly influence life on Earth or correspond to events experienced on a human scale. Modern astrologers define Ramal astrology as a symbolic language, an art form, or a form of divination. Despite differences in definitions, a common assumption of astrologers is that celestial placements can aid in the interpretation of past and present events, and in the prediction of the future.

Ramal shashtra is a subject of astrology but a huge difference is also there between astrology and Ramal astrology. In astrology we need to calculate every details of planets and zodiacs, with a very deep studies but Ramal astrology need a beautiful set of DICES (Pase) and a complete study and knowledge of These DICES. The DICES we use for Ramal astrology are not actually normal DICES these are specially designed for Ramal astrology. On the DICES there are some specific designs which help us in Ramal astrology readings.

Ramal Shastra is as ancient as Vedic Astrology. It was originated by Lord Shiva, on request of Goddess Parvati for the benefit of people. In the first century B.C. Arabs took this occult science with them, studied and practiced it a lot, hence this science is called Arabic Astrology.

When the conqueror King Alexander invaded India, he was accompanied by an astrologer who started propagating and practicing Ramal Astrology

Ramal is a kind of questioning technique which has direct relationship with the feelings of the person putting the question. There are dices used in the predication which have circles and lines on it. The dices used, also kind of represent the feeling of the person putting the question. The feeling / attitude of the questioning person and the possible result of the question are exhibited in the dice in the form of lines and points.
