Re: This question might have come up in many of us.
Anirudh ji,
Auspicious timings are like a railway time-table.
Not all trains run on time, do they? But, we need to arrive at the station in time, do we travellers not...?
Transits and Dashas and the horoscope itself help one get indications as to the train promised in ephemerides is likely to arrive or not...?
Astrology has been called a discipline/subject that studies tendencies and probabilities. Some folks innocently or otherwise confuse it with the Higher powers that KNR calls Jyotish-mati, others call it the level of Trikalagna, a few notches higher than Daivagna...?
The interplay of destiny and free-will and the Belief of Bhakti are all interacting and the highest approach (path) is of course of belief in the Divine Principle. Those who have arrived or are striving to be at that state, as your posting suggests you are trying to arrive at, must not spend their time and dhyaana etc on divination, whether jyotish or nimitta or whatever else modalities recommended in some texts.
For many others, however, the Good God (Divine Principle/Principal) has provided several modalities, since not everyone is at the same level in their current state of evolution of Soul-State...?
Swami Yukteshwar ji believed in and recommended the utility of Jyotish and remedies (kavach, taaviz, gemstones); his Principle Disciple Paramahansa Yoganand ji, did not appear too much of a believer in that approach. Nor did Swami Vivekananda.
If opinions and recommendations vary amongst souls as lofty as those three Great Ones, for example, then it must not be a simple decision for most of us folks...?
Why such impatience to judge before ones time is up and the Examiner is coming around to collect the answer books, if you get my analogy ...? :-)

A birth-epoch is a seemingly-random TRANSIT-epoch that gains a personal-meaningfulness and becomes a beacon in the current lifetime of the incarnated soul-fragment; the union of a kona (angle) with a trikona (trine)...?
