Guru - false or fake?

As a self-taught astrologer, I am duty-bound to list my limitations.

I have tried to garner wisdom from the ancients, the seers, the mystics, the prophesisers so disparaged by societies both modern and passed.

I cannot, and hesitate, to try to pass judgement on all the knowledge ascertained by such methods. But I dare say:

All these things, afore ye judged, they are written in the stars - "As above, so below".

Notwithstanding, I hereby shall attempt, by the grace of God, to describe certain astrological phenomena and the meaning thereof.

Firstly:
In regards to the argument of the physical position of the planets and the subsequent reckoning of them, either tropical of sidereal, there are other planes and criteria for which they can be reckoned. For it is stated in the Surya Siddhanta the physical positions of the planets is different to the otherwise ephemeral positions used to ascertain certain events, to whit:

During the night of Brahma, how is time reckoned whist He is sleeping? 

If the mundane Material World is dissolved, how can such mundane time be otherwise measured?

Lo, it is by the Surya Siddhanta, the divine positions of non-material planets and the demigods thereby residing that they shall be correctly reckoned. Mere observation and calculation with the telescope is not sufficient to determine the spiritual positions of the demigods of said planets; indeeed they cannot be reckoned with ordinary mundane telescopes or calculations. The formulae for discovering these Divine Influences can only be arrived at through the Surya Siddhanta.

And so, the argument ensues: is there any validity to Western Tropical astrology; or for that matter, Eastern Sidereal Astrology? One can argue that both have lost their way. And yet, it is perhaps annoying that several items of potential pecuniary interest arise.

Pardon me, sorry for that advertising. But it remains true, send money to a charlatan and they will no doubt give you a reading. Say what?
"you are disturbed. You are feeling anxious. I have magic oil to cure. Twenty-five dollars."
Otherwise....
"pay me some money and I will make you into God. Then, our business is finished."
