Most universities offering MA in Astrology generally require a BA degree, but some may prefer Sanskrit or related subjects like philosophy. Since your BA is with Hindi as the second language, I advice you to check the specific eligibility criteria of the university you're applying to. That can help. I also recommend contacting their admissions office to be sure.
