My views on Astrology...

I am surprised by how people claim that they can predict others future. Astrology may be true but 'real' astrologers are very rare to find.

Normally if we watch any TV channels or news paper on any day each of them would say different predictions for the same star/sun sign. Why aren't the astrologers able to make similar predictions? This has made me think on why are these guys telecasting such a program to start with. Do they just want to play with people's sentiments or belief?

I feel most of the astrologers or palmists does pure mind reading rather than the mathematical calculation which they are supposed to do.

If you have visited some astrologers you would have heard these statements in some form or other:

1. You should have faced a major hurdle (or) life threatening incident some time back
2. You have a major hurdle to cross soon
3. You should be having some family problems now
4. You wouldn't be having much of your relatives support
5. You are generous and people would be exploiting you!
6. You will be earning but don't know where the money goes!
7. You will be having problems in your office
8. There is a stuff which is blocking your growth. We need to do a pooja to get around it
9. etc.,

All of us are human. But the one with strong heart overcomes these statements with ease. But unfortunately world is filled with more people with weaker hearts.

Aren't most of the above points very generic and won't it fit almost for everybody :)? That being the case, is it really worth for people to start worrying about those at back of their mind?

I feel that astrologers always look for easy targets. If an astrologer says that 'your husbands life path seems to be short due to past karma!! and it can be rectified with a Rs. 10000 pooja' most of the ladies would (blindly) accept for that pooja. I am not blaming the ladies here. I can understand that it's normal tendency to try and do what ever we can to save our dear ones. Most of the astrologers exploit these sort of sentiments with ease.

Bottomline, I am not against 'Astrology' as a whole. All I am saying is the place is flooded with petty astrologers who just do it for business and nothing else.

My principle is, if the astrologer has said something good then enjoy it and go ahead. If he has told something bad/negative just ignore those points and move on in life. If not, your mind will be occupied by those negative points which would indirectly lead to our own downfall -- be it health or career etc.,

Sameway its sad to know that there are still people who don't even search for a job just because their astrologer have told him that he won't get a stable job till 30 yrs??? This is what I call it as 'negative influence'.

Influencing others is one of the biggest gift and one should not misuse it. Astrologers have that influencing power so they should actually not let out any negative points to the people. Informations should be shared in such a way that we don't demotivate someone and screw their life!

I don't want to get into whether 'Astrology is science or arts', 'Astrology is real or fake' etc., all i want to convey is lets believe in ourself and move on in life.

Let's not spend our hard earned money on people who claim to predict our future. Be truthful and lead a honest life that should be more than enough. Also knowing your future is kind of losing the thrill in life :) If at all one knows when he is going to get married, when he is going to die etc., then what's the thrill in life. Let's take life as it comes and enjoy each and every moment of it. Rather than taking a fast track to know the future from fake astrologers :)

To me,
if we aren't confident on ourself;
if we are feeling insecure in life
then we believe in astrology too much :)

Once you are in trouble, Instead of blindly believing the astrologer think about this:

When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in his ablities.
But if GOD does not solve your problems, it means he has faith in your ablities.

So just believe in your abilities, try hard and decide your own future instead of trusting a third person (read it as, astrologer) to predict your future.
