Astrology is one subject that helps me to understand human lives better. Each chart is a new challenge for me. Analyzing a chart, I am able to touch base with REALITY that life is karmic, and that our spirit is eternal.

How much ever, we could argue, but still the truth remains that we are driven by impulse. Everything happens on its own accord and we are just on lookers! Whether it is about getting a girl on a date, or it is about getting a decent salary hike. Everything is destined. Don't abuse the girl nor put down your boss, for they are just being used by the cosmos for what they are doing, and even they cannot take responsibility for the same!

Remedial Measures

None is happy with what is provided to them by God. Given a chance all would want to change their life drastically - most would want to be as rich as Bill Gates, many would want to look like Amitabh Bachan,Salman Khan, and few would want to become Aishwarya Rai. But the sad part of life is nothing is changeable. If destiny can be changed so easily, none would want to be what they already are.

Astrology as a science or arts is based on the principle of Karma, and the natal chart is nothing but the balance sheet of your past life. What you will achieve in this particular life depends upon what you did in your past life, and what you will do in your next life depends upon what you do in the present life. I am sure you already have started yawning. But that 'IS' a bitter truth.

Astrologers who promise to change others' destiny are always more successful than the astrologers who just predict the future & leave it there. People hate to know about their limitations, and always love to hear BIG things about themselves & their potential - whether they really take place in their lives isn't something they would bother about.

Numerologists say names create some kind of vibrations that helps you change your destiny. If Ashok adds an extra 'S' and replaces 'K' with 'LE' and spells his name ASShoLE - none is going to call him by that name. The pronunciation of any name remains the same even if you change the spelling – Ajay or aajaya. And ask yourself how many people call you by your name in a day - maximum 1 or 2! If pronouncing your name once or twice can change your destiny, then people who chant God's names for lakhs & lakhs times should be mere fools. And also if it is about writing your name, how many times do you write your name? Hardly once in a day!

If you think that by wearing a Yellow Sapphire in your ring finger, you can walk away from all the exploitation & bloody politics you play on your sub ordinates, then I am sure God can only show you his middle finger. Gemology of course is a multimillion business now. And most astrologers who fail in their prediction part take up Gemology as a new career - the profit margin is really high.

In my personal opinion, until & unless God wants none can change their destiny. And getting God's approval isn't as easy as changing the spelling, wearing a costly gem or changing your handwriting & signature.

For instance if I predict a bad time for a person for the next 2 years and at the same time recommend a remedial measure to escape the bad time - one of the two ought to be wrong. Either my prediction for him for the next 2 years is wrong, or my remedial measure is wrong. So what exactly could remedial measures do? It can only help you keep yourself cool while passing through the bad phase. That is it. You still will have to undergo the pain & sufferings - there is no escape.
