Astrologer is a new phenomenon in modern era. Though astrology is an old science (though debatable as some call it an art while others call it a science). It has developed with the development of human civilization. From the recognized historical era of Alexander the Great, we find mention of the Astrologers having great importance in the court of the King. Even Mughal Ruler Babur had to fight hard to prevail upon his army over the statement communicated by the Astrologer.

Coming back to Online Astrology, we have seen the transition from the era of Astrologers sitting beside the road carrying umbrella and telling the people of their fortune to modern day astrologers predicting about the future of the people on television. At present we come across many astrologers who were unheard of 10 years ago.

First of all, it may not be misconstrued to the astrologers predicting about the future of the people via internet, it is only a part of it, as now it also includes the astrologers who satisfy the queries of the people regarding the astrology on telephone, mobile and even letters also. They have gained popularity among the people by various reasons. As while comparing to other astrologers i.e. Pandit ( astrologer) who is directly interacting with the people and telling the fortune / misfortune and hired astrologers by the T.V channels telling the people about their destiny , there is a very bleak chance of getting influenced by the means i.e. status, money paying capacity of the customer (Yajman) by the astrologer;

I have experienced the same from the road side astrologer, one day I came to the said so called astrologer while driving scooter, my destiny was predicted on different note as compared to the next time when I went to the same astrologer after 2 months by driving the car. But while interacting with the online astrologers , we don’t find such type of incidents , as they are well educated and have expertise in their field and they also well aware of the fact that their clientele are well educated and therefore, due to this reason they are gaining popularity and respectability day by day .

Further more, besides, expert in their field, they are quite professional and charge the fee as per the prescribed fee structure prescribed by them and agreed by the client and the mode of payment is through account and In case of astrologers hired by the T.V.channels, the said astrologers predict the future of the people by boasting about their expertise and moreover, the credibility of the people asking the question from the these astrologers is also questionable.

Moreover, the maximum astrologers are hired by the T.V channels to increase their T.R.P and the chance of real or genuine based on Astrological calculations is near to impossible. As in one instance Mughal Ruler Akbar was going for a hunt then he listened melodious music of one person who was the guru of Tansen and after coming back to Court( Darbar) , the great Akbar asked the reason form Tansen then Tansen told him his Guru was singing without any limit and there is no one above him unlike him ( Tansen ), Therefore in the same sense, real excellence is not expected from a hired person though he may be prefect in his class.

In online astrology, there is a privacy and confidentiality between the client and the astrologer which is most important for those who wants to keep things private. In the modern world, every one has paucity of time, so this kind of astrology is the best medium for the people who want to get to know about their destiny and plan their career/life and want to prepare for the bad time if it has to come if predicted by the astrologer on the basis of the stars /horoscope. As it is rightly said that if you get the right person half of the problem is solved.
