I personally don't believe in astrology. Our life depends on what we do. Without our effort nothing comes free or easy.
Yeah astrology is definitely way too vague for my liking. But if you like it, I say eat it up like your Mother's Thanksgiving stuffing.
To justify my stance that I am a firm believer of astrology let me first say what lord Krishna has to say in gita "Bhagyam Phalati Sarbatra Nacho Vidya , Nacho Buddhi, Nacho Pourasha" . Explaination of this line is destiny is everything however learned, intelligent or courageous you are you just a slave of destiny. Lord Krishna said this to Karna ( a barve warrior ) in the battle field of kurushetra. Now one might say that they have created their own destiny but if your horoscope is judged by a learned Indian Astrologer then you woulod be awstruck by the fact how could he tell you the facts what has happened to your life till now. You would even know what is expected to happen in your life in future as well. Don't be disheartened if you are fooled by some quack astrologer earlier when your time would be right according to the stars you might encounter a right astrologer and get to know the facts of your past, present and future.
Lord Buddha, in His great wisdom, once said, "Attho atthassa nakkhatthan-Kin Karissanthi Tharaka?" meaning "When something has to be done, that is the auspicious time to do it. What can the stars do?" He has further extolled the virtues of doing things without delay.
I agree with neocambell but the real thing is that mind itself does not get prepared unless the right time comes thats what is astrology...
I will add 3 popular quotes from Albert Einstein who is known as Farther of Modern Science. You can find many of these from the net. Read the first quote very carefully. In his last ages, he invented a theory called Time-Space theory. This is used to explain black wholes, displacement of satellites that happen every year, etc... and this is popularly believed as true by scientists all over the world. If you read the most fundamental teachings of Lord Buddha, you will find the same thing without scientific terms. In simple terms, we all humans, are stuck in a box due to limited senses we have. We can't see anything out of it. But, since the mind is the same, we can improve it by doing meditation and generate the missing senses that belongs to Universe. (You can think of bats who measure the distance to earth while flying by the reflection of sound). Once you have the extra senses, you can see out of the box. Basically you will see the truth. The path to achieve this is explained by Lord Buddha 2600 years ago.
Nope, i don`t believe in astrology, cause I think all sane people should not believe in all sorts of garbage. Fake
I think when you are born has an effect on you, but I also think you are your own creator and that you can always break outside the box somewhat. Nothing is written in stone.
astrology is nothing but nature . by that i mean what ever you do now you would reap the benefits either now or future .. similarly whatever you had done on your previous birth becomes your destiny in this birth..
