What is karma?
Cause and effect. Whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall also reap. For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. There are a lot ways to describe karma, but it is essentially the belief that your present circumstances are the product of previous actions, and what you do today will affect what happens tomorrow. Karma is also associated with past lives -- each time you're reborn, the energies from your previous lives influence the conditions of your current life.

What is the relationship between karma and astrology?
Astrology can indicate your current karmic situation, since the positions of the planets at the time of your birth show you which lessons are paramount for this lifetime. Karma.astrology.com is divided into three sections: fate, destiny and free will. Learning how all these factors come into play can help you figure out what you can do to improve your karma and your life.
