In Love with Astrology

Things are running great. Fantastic! All Events are turning out to be fruitful. WOW! Let’s party...

 

Things aren’t happening as expected. All efforts go in vain. Something is wrong. Let’s consult an Astrologer...

 

For most of us, especially in India, aren’t the above statements true? Of course I do not defy the fact that many people also thank their Stars and the Almighty for all the good that happens to them. I also do not challenge the fact that there might be a system (read Astrology) where we can get to know about things (at least a hint of it) happening in the near future. But isn’t it also a Science; a Calculation-Predictions based on Planetary Positions which may go wrong.

Astrology: The study of the positions and aspects of celestial bodies in the belief that they have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs (ref: www.thefreedictionary.com/astrology). Since everyone is made up of Molecules, Protons, Neutron and now the GOD’s particle, I cannot run away from the fact that yes, everything in the space, a few inches to millions of light years, does have an effect on us.  Just like any other Sciences, this also is based on facts and figures-correct figures. So if the astrologers do not get the Exact Data of a person, like the correct time of birth in seconds(milliseconds maybe), the exact Latitude & Longitude of the Geographical place where the Person was born, all calculations and predictions done by him, goes for a toss!

But who cares? All we want is a secured Future. Everyone wants a secured Life. Even the Astrologer wants it. If the Predictions made by the astrologer turns out to be correct. WOW! He is the GOD for you. But if it doesn’t turn out to be true; it’s the Astrologers Predictions to be blamed. And so you move to another BETTER Astrologer.

Now, let me assume for a while that YES! Everyone’s future is destined by some Superpower. So, if you get to know the Astrological Predictions, will you be able to change anything in your future? I suppose, NO! OK, if you think getting aware of it helps... Please explain how does it? Things will happen because it has to happen. Remember? All is set by the Superpower?

All, what this Nature keeps telling us is – Change is the only constant! And we humans keep running away from this mere fact. We try and secure things; we try and arrange everything; we try to make sure everything remains under our control; we try what not? Problems are not what you know and are aware of. They are just hurdles. Problems would arrive when you least expect them; on a Tuesday afternoon, while sitting at your home and sipping coffee.

While thinking of all this, what we forget is that we bear a unique power within us – LIFE! All the celestial bodies, that may or may not say anything about our future, are Non Living. We have a Power of Thinking – which a few people call mind, while I call it Heart! Yes, whatever we do, we say, we enact, it all it guided by our feelings for different things around us. Some are guided by the Love, Happiness, Sorrow, etc., and hence we term them as Emotional; while others are guided by wealth, Power, etc, are termed as Practical. Amazingly there are a set of people, who take decisions making sure that their close ones are not hurt, even if they themselves might have to curb their happiness. They too are called Practical People!

I believe Astrology might be fruitful for the ones who are starting something fresh, and have nothing to lose if the predictions turn out to be good or bad. It might be a nice process to choose between two options (I would still prefer the Six Thinking Hats method).

But if your heart has already chosen to do something or if you are in love with it (life partner, Business Plan, Travel, Change in profession, etc, etc...), go ahead with it: This is what Life really wants you to do! Please do not consult an Astrologer anymore. Whatever the Predictions are, it will only make things difficult.
