What does anyone get out of horoscopes apart from the entertainment value?

Posted by carl on Oct 8, 2008

How many people are even aware that the named zodiacal constellations which are used in astrological forecasting (or horoscopes) no longer correspond to the segments of the zodiac represented by their signs because of the precession of the equinoxes?

Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the equinox and solstice points have each moved westward about 30 degrees so if you been born at the same time on the same day of the year 2,000 years ago, you would have been born under a different sign. And are you aware that there should be 13 signs, not 12?

Knowing this, and the fact that we know the earth is not the center of the universe, (the geo-centric model is what astrology was based up) why does a belief in horoscopes persist?

Sure, all this stuff is known but it is ignored. It has to be 12 signs because 13 is a prime number. It can't be divided so it won't work.

Humans are pattern seeking animals and this can make us gullible. We are attracted to the "too good to be true" of the paranormal. Few take the time to investigate the claims and choose blind belief. The belief persists because astrology makes money. Hundreds millions are spent on readings, books, and trinkets. It is like belonging to your own club.

It does not matter that astrology claims fail to do better than chance. If one type does not seem right then you can try another type. Which one is true does not matter. The belief system is so strong, rational thinking takes a back seat. Not only do these people believe it works, it must work.

Effects of Guru transition in Vrichika rasi on Oct 27, 2006?

Posted by carl on Oct 6, 2008

Hello,
I was born on June 9th, 1968, 8.41pm in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. My astrological details are Anuradha nakchataram and Vrichika rasi.

I just read one of your answers to an astrological qs and I was very impressed by it. Could you please give my astrological forecast and the effects of the guru transition in vrichika rasi for the coming year.

Thanks,
K

A person born with Harsha Yoga, Bhadra Yoga and Gajakesari Yoga should be leading a life as queen! Lagna is aspected by Guru [Guru Paarka Kooti Punyam] so you should have been leading a queenly life!—I am sorry this will be a comment of all the astrologers-including me if I had not analyzed the Chart in deep.

Fourth house Rahu and Shani; Mars aspecting Guru, Lagna and the Moon would have given you all sort of comfort but NO NO NO mental satisfactions!!

You are under Sukra Maha Dasha and Sukra sub period, Sukra has nothing to do for either your Raashi or Lagna and Sukra sub-period gets end on 30/11/2007 —therefore this Janma Guru will do all sort of harms (I AM SORRY TO SAY SO) ….wear 'Nalmuthu in a silver ring, do Pradakshanam to Tulasi plant ….and with out fail select any one answer as Best Answer. Not necessarily mine…there are many learned men and laladies who ask Q but after receiving their required answers forget to select Best Answer and the Q goes for Voting!!!!

You have to suffer under Guru's ill transits.

OLI MAYAMAANA ETHIR KAALAM UNN OLLATHIL THERIGIRATHU!!
