I often wonder at Astrology how it can predict something which is going to happen in future. People go for astrological predictions either to find a soothing answer from an astrologer or to satisfy their ego. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow, anyone who claims that they predict will only do guessing and nothing else. Astrologers have a well defined way in predicting. A recent trend is all TV channels have started astrology shows and have gained popularity. Astrology can be seen as a way of making money utilizing the ignorance, fear and lack of confidence in people about themselves. Nature has many things in its treasure and phenomenon in nature like solar and lunar eclipses have nothing do with Astrology.
Coming how the astrologers predict things, one can easily do that even without any knowledge of planets and stars. Predictions will be done by following a standard path depending on the age group of people asking questions. Everyone has to undergo different stages in life and the commonly faced problems in the different stages include matters related to education, employment, marriage, having children and health etc. Our life should go through all these stages and no one can escape from it.
Questions commonly asked by the people of different age groups will be, in the age group of 18 to 24 youth will be having queries related to education and employment so whenever a person of this age group contacts any astrologers it will be easy for astrologers to tell the person is facing difficulty related to education and employment, if the contacting person tells yes the astrologer can proceed giving solution! If the contacting person is a girl of the same age group then the query will be more likely to be related with the marriage.
People in age group of 24 to 35 will have problems related to marriage, employment, getting adjusted with in-laws and not having children. People of age group 35 to 50 will have issues related to their children’s education, employment, marriage and constructing house. People of age group 50 to 70 will be related to health, property issues. These are the general or the standard questions which the people of above said age groups will have. At the first stage of conversation itself Astrologers try to get information from the people contacting them.
I can bet no astrologer can predict what will happen in someone’s life without date of birth (helpful to know the age) or any information. I never came across any astrologer who can tell what has happened in the past. The only thing I can make out with Astrologers is they are earning their rice without any investment only on the capital of people’s fear and greed.
As(s)trology is pure cold reading period. Nothing more nothing less. You could read my write up on nirmukta about this technique.
