Friends, I am very much found of reading my daily horoscope and all other information connected to my birth date. But
sometimes I don't understand what it is predicting and sometimes I am left puzzled. If someone has real story to prove the truth about astrology, please share, I am very much interested. Thanks.

Apsara, my answer may perhaps disappoint you. I do not pay much attention to these kind of predictions. I find they do not come out true most of the time for me. They are very vague and general in nature eg. your time is going to good. ...but nowhere it is defined what can be 'good' for any body. Another example is you may suffer an ailment....now a days...getting ill is too common and frequent and it you relate your illness with such kind of predictions you will more disheartened and down.
I try not to read such predictions and if I read...I try not to remember them or take them to my heart.
Whatever has to happen ..has to happen in our life...the thing is we should fulfill our duties and responsibilities sincerily and honestly.

Hi deepak, Nice to see you back.
Let me tell you that you have not disappointed me at all, infact my thoughts are exactly like yours and that is why I started this discussion. And if you will read all replies you will see that nobody can really give any proof about these prediction. So you have answered very optimistically. Have a nice day.

Thanks!
I see there are some respondents who do believe in astrology (including our dear friend Mithra). Visit the websites mentioned by them...and let me....know...how correct did you find them....(so if need be I could also see...)
Jinki Shaadi bina horoscope milay hoti hai...kya unki married life successful nahi ho sakti...?

HI Apsara
Perhaps my response is very late, but God has clearly forbidden us from consulting these horoscopes. Though they may be correct or incorrect it is a SIN in GOD'S sight to consult Horoscopes or any form of consulting about our future.
This was introduced to human by the fallen angels in the ancient days.
When we have God with us why should we bother about future!!

Thanks for your wonderful reply. What makes me happy is your faith and honesty towards God. Today people are becoming more and more atheist, and we who believe in God find it difficult to prove them the existence of God as God does not do any visible miracles now a days.People today want to see BIG MIRACLE.........LIKE WHEN TERRORIST ATTACKs INNOCENT PEOPLE, HE SHOULD TURN INTO ASHES.........but nothing like this happens and innocent people suffer more and more misery.........My family is also becoming less religious and more spiritual day by day. We believe in God inside us......and not in the Church or synagogue
Now I will look into your website........have a nice day.

You would appreciate my reply basis your understanding of the Bible or Torah. After creation there was a rebellion in heaven and one of archangels by name lucifer rebelled against God and he along with his other angels of lower rank were cast out of heaven and they came down to Earth. Here many took human form and lived with Humans and many took wives of women of Human origin and had children. These children became giants.
This knowledge of the star sings, planets, moon signs, constellations are very ancient, Have you ever wondered how the people of ancient civilizations were able to get knowledge about the heavenly bodies without the present day telescopes and space travel?
The answer is simple, after the fall, lucifer and his fallen angels became satan and his demons and they taught the innocent humans all that was against the law of God.
That is why God has forbidden us from consulting all these horoscopes and astrology.
Do check the link below about the fallen Angels and Giants.

If I could prove it, I would not have been participating in your discussion nor I would have been in mylot. I would have opened a multinational company, forecasting the details for each international client, billing them in thousands of dollars. I do not believe in these theoretical predictions which have no practical application.
But my wife is very fond of astrology, horoscope reading and she has unfailing faith in it. In fact each time we plan a visit to her parents place which is 400 kms from Bangalore city, she plants visit to several places on the way where there are so called famous astrologers. She spends couple of hundred notes and listen to their interpretation of our future life. When something good or bad happens, she narrates it to the utterances of these astrologers. It is foolish on my part to educate her in these lines, because If I do, I will have to forego my peace. Let her believe in what she feels right.
There are top politicians and topi film starts in this country who promptly go the astrologers before launching any ambitious program.

You are from India I suppose, sometime back you were in US and I saw you are in Israel. Anyone you can file an affidavit with the Indian consulate for change of name, the same shall be got corrected in our passport. It needs a small classified advt. in the newspaper, a small fee for attorney, so that you can change your name legally in all our transactions. Whereever you use old name, you have to send a copy of change of name.
I have come across a lot of people who have changed names as per the advise of astrolers. I have not heard how much good happened to them.
Did you notice on thing. Though I do not believe, I do take interest in their utterances, probably because we want to hear more on ourselves.!! Regards.

My thought about astrology are similar to yours as never ever has any of the predictions done for me that came true. But tell me something.........what is this adding of one extra alphabet in your name.......does it really help........how do we do it.......do we have to go to court and add extra alphabet.......I have heard that many bollywood actors are doing this to achieve success.....what is your opinion about this.........

Hi ssh123, Yes I am from India, but I was never in US , but migrated to Israel now. Thanks for all the information you gave me.........I am not going to change my name.........because I don't think it brings any luck......if only someone could give me exact winning lottery numbers in advance.....then I may believe in luck.....lol
Have a nice day.

well there are good astrologers also who can give you the correct predictions. Astrology predictions cannot be generalized.,like what comes in magazines and newspapers. because it is based on calculations,which will differ from person to person. I am from bangalore and there are some good astrologers here.

Thanks for starting a great discussion. I don't think there is any truth in astrology. I know there are people who believe in astrology. All I can say about them is that they are superstitious.

Well, to say the truth - anything has an impact on our lives. To say that every position of every constelation decided by men to be important for this and that... well... sounds like @#$ to me. But... one can never tell. I believe that every movement of the sands, water and every molecule has an impact on our lives.
But to claim you understand that and interpretate is seems like a bluff to me...

There is interesting to understand in-depth about astrology any horoscopes prediction found in every newspapers is inadequate you must find somebody that is really professional astrologers or better to study this subject over years. The astronomical calculation which planets positions in time aspects that can traces personal structures regarding traits and characteristics astonishing determine as a blueprint of individual store its life.

There is hardly any truth in it, virtually nothing, to say so.
One in hundred of what they say comes true, and that may all likely be a case of co-incidence.
This reminds me of 2006 FIFA world cup, during which Brazil were the favourites to win it, being the defending champions and having a strong side.
Before the start of the world cup, all the famous astrologers over India predicted that Brazil will win it this time also and gave their respective interpretations for it to take place.
What happened later on was a entirely different story, Brazil didn't even qualify for the semi-finals and the less expected Italy won it eventually. That says it all.
Anybody anytime can become an astrologer, it is just a self-proclaimed so called "profession". Thanks for the laugh.:P
Happy new year.=)

Hi friend, Yes I agree with you, it is just a coincidence that some predictions come true and that too rarely , but that does not mean every thing is true. Yes you gave good example about FIFA....Thanks for your reply and also very happy new year to you too.

I do not believe in astrology. You control your own destiny. It is not controlled by the stars. It is good that you are puzzled then maybe you will stop dabbling in something that is not good for you. The Torah tells you not to do this does it not? Science is good but the horoscope is not science. It is mysticism.
Shalom~Adoniah

Hi Adoniah,
Same here, but to tell you the truth I have never read Torah, I believe in God whom I feel inside me and I know he is with me all the time, in the name of prayer I just know shemha Israel and that is what I keep saying when ever I have to talk to him and he listens and assures me that he is always with me. This discussion of astrology is just for general knowledge.Have a nice day.

hi im one like u who like to see predictions everyday.
i sincerely belive in vedic astrology since my life is going similar to its predictions.
after class 10th i was advised not to leave hometown for studies at least for next two yearsas i would not be successfull then. but since i was qualified for a prestigious intitute outside my hometown, i went to study there. inspite of being a academically good student, i could not concentrate on studies there and returned after three months.on returning i had to face derogatory remarks of my friends. it happend as was predicted

I think it was only a coincidence. You see out of 100 predictions few do come true sometimes. But if you have faith in it and you think it is better to follow vedic astrology, it is all your choice as long as it keeps you happy. Live your live as you want to........and keep smiling. Thanks for your reply.

I am sorry I dont a real life story about astrology, but frankly speaking, for everything you give belief, it comes to pass, belief or faith moves this world, and with faith, even mountains can change positions-that applies to astrology my dear friend apsara60!!

Hi!:)
Horoscopes can only take into account your "sun sign", which is the zodiac sign the sun was in when you were born into the world. But there are ten other positions which influence things... where the moon was.. and where the planets were - mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune, and pluto(whether consided currently as a planet or comet.. and also the sign the horizon was in when you were born (called your 'rising sign') - also influencing are the relationships between the sun, moon, all the planets and (your) rising sign.
- I've been studying astrology for about 30 years. I'll give you an example... but first just a little info on how astrology works.. it's like a clock(&map) only this clock has three faces.. [the 1st] 12 divisions called houses, [the 2nd] the zodiac signs, and for use in forecasts [the 3rd] one's own birth chart (i.e. the zodiac and sun, moon and planet positions at the time of birth.. the first face, the houses, never moves. The second face, the signs, turn once each day, clockwise.
- The hands of this clock are the sun, moon and planets, they move counterclockwise, each at their own speed.
- At the time I was born (which is to say, on my birth chart) there was two conjunctions (pairs) of planets. Think of the astrology wheel/chart as a compass.. at The South position on my chart is jupiter and uranus (in the house of "home"), and at the west position is the moon and neptune (in the house of partnerships and marriage).. I grew up in new england, usa, and one of the larger changes in my life is when I traveled to the midwest, usa, met my husband and stayed. At this precise time, the slower moving planet (from my house of "home") had moved up (from it's south position) and was exactly at the same degree as my second conjunction at the western horizon, in my house of "marriage" (there's 30 degrees to each sign). This is just one astrology co-incidence I have found in my own astrology.
- Well, I do suppose I have gone on about this long enough:)
I have horoscopes on my website, which I think are kind of handy, especially if someone knows their moon sign and rising sign (then they can read the horoscope for those three (sun, moon, rising sign/ascendant). My horoscopes are extremely brief so perhaps they can be remembered - www.mystic-blessings.com/horoscopes.html

most of the avid believers of the Astrology are the Roman Catholics because the faith is not that much solid....
whereas,
Astrology is strictly forbidden in the 1st Commandment of God....
only God has the power to defies the law of nature... and no one else...
not even the fortune tellers....
not even the astrologists.....
those fortune tellers who as the power to predict future using Astrology as a medium is an Anti-God or Anti-Christ....
only God has the power and no one else....
