Stop letting others fool you. It's nothing more than another way of making a living off of the insecurities of people. It's the mutant evil brother of the great Indian and other eastern astronomical traditions. Don't waste your life after it. Don't fall into that trap. It saps you of your mental vitality and negates your hard work. Your success is usurped in the name of astrology's success. Your failure is branded as insufficient expenditures on astrological paraphernalia.
Hindu mytholoogy has it that it was Kartikeya who discovered the Science of Astrology.When he realised that he had come up with a method which allowed humans to make sense of the life and the universe, by taking in to account the things that humans do not understand, he told his father Lord Shiva about it. Shiva was quite understandably thrilled and asked Kartikeya to read his horoscope.The son, however, predicted that Shiva will suffer from kandaka shani (bad times, basically) and go through much suffering . The short tempered Shiva was most displeased says, oh really, me, the lord of Kailas, the destructor of the universe is going be screwed over by Shani (who also happens to be his son, btw), we'll see about that and curses Kartikeya saying that none of his predictions will ever come true. Anyway, years later, Kartikeya's predictions come to be and Shiva does suffer immensely (that's another story- he has to beg for alms etc, then he goes and hides somewhere so that Shani doesn't get a hold of him etc.) And when he realises that his son's predictions were bang on, he repents and relents, and agrees that Kathikeya was right. He feels bad and says okay, I can't take the curse back but I can modify it. And so he modifies it so that some of his predictions will be fulfilled, and some won't - and that's why astrology (if you care to believe it) will always be a 50-50 shot. So far, you have let the astrologers have their 50%, isn't it about time you reached out for your own 50% shot?
Bro sometimes we act towards making true what the astrologer says. It happens sub consciously.
If an astrologer says that something wont happen you start to act lazy neglect work and ultimately the thing does not happens.
I am not a complete unbeliever of astrology. There are some good astrologers who can fairly predict your life over a macro level but dont expect predictions relating to micro level to come true. Many a times astrology also involves face reading and personality analysis.
For me i had visited a astrologer who predicted about X thing happening in my life. To my shock the X thing had already took place. So astrology is not complete false too.
if they say in macro analysis that there will be no chance to your becoming an ias then what will u do.... will your will power cancel that prediction.....
