Many of us drive. And those who don’t, hire cabs or autos. What is common amongst all of them is that they are heading towards a destination. Plus, there is one more commonality between them. And that common thing is called GPS or Global Positioning System.
In this article we have explained whether astrology works in real life or it is just a myth.
GPS: Gets changed regularly by users
GPS gives out routes used by people earlier. Now, while you are driving, what you might have seen or done is this: the driver realizes that GPS is asking him or her to take a longer route while there is a shorter one available. Now, as this driver and more people take this shorter route, the system records it and after some time, starts directing people on the shorter route.
You trust GPS, don’t you? GPS, however, is a recent discovery. It’s a human creation, based on technologies invented by humans. It keeps getting corrected, time and again as we have seen above.
Planets influence your lives
The planets, the stars, the constellation of stars have been there for an eternity. The planets are all inter related, inter connected and influence each other. The Sun and the moon affect us on a daily basis, in fact they influence our lives every moment. But we refuse to often look at their influence beyond the fact that they bring us day and night.
Eclipses and the astrological aspect
Let’s take the eclipses, for example. Scientists define these as an astronomical phenomenon, nothing else. But then, natural disasters often follow these eclipses and very often science fails to explain these incidents.
Simultaneously, we have astrologers predicting them, warning people in advance. Astrologers go to the extent of advising people on how to conduct themselves before, during and after the eclipses and people benefit from observing such conduct.
The Sun and the Moon
Moon’s movements regulate tides in seas and oceans; Sun’s movement governs climate and weather across the world. It also governs growing of crops as well as harvesting seasons.
Now the above two are about how just two planets govern our everyday lives. Now, let’s move further and look at how some other planets affect our lives.
Recent Predictions: Mars, the year of wars
We have all seen various astrologers speaking about how 2025 is the year of Mars and what it will bring in its wake. Since Mars is red and fiery and is also called the God of War in the western world, this year was said to be the year of wars.
So, while world leaders spoke of bringing the Ukraine-Russia war to an end, it has only escalated and doesn’t seem like ending any time soon. Operation Sindoor had India and Pakistan engaged in a war and while the war has been put on hold, it might flare up once again, especially with the recent happenings in Bangladesh. Balochis are fighting against the state of Pakistan and so are Sindhis, Pakistan is also engaged in an undeclared war with Afghanistan while the Middle East no signs of returning to peace anytime soon.
So, how did so many astrologers say that this year will be the year of wars and natural disasters as well as accidents and terror incidents? The Pahalgam incident seems to have happened out of the blue which led to Operation Sindoor even as no geo-political expert was talking about the possibility of an Indo-Pak war early in 2025.
Planetary Movements and Mahakaal
That planetary movements influence us on a moment-to-moment is undeniable. Which is why when Pujaris advise us to worship Mahakaal in a particular manner, they are telling us to worship the master of time, all planets and planetary movements. The Navagrah Mandirs located across the country as also Shani Mandirs are evidence too.
Astrology plus Reason
The fact is that astrology works if you have faith in it. Not blind faith but a belief that is backed by a reason. And that you must use it wisely. Because the wise way to use it is to seek guidance from astrologers and use it the way you use the GPS.
Thus, if an astrologer says that you will get a job in the coming year, the job is not likely to happen out of thin air. It will happen if you apply for it, appear for an exam/interview and so on. It will not happen just because an astrologer has said that you will get a job. You recover from an illness if you follow the doctor’s prescription, take medicines and observe the precautions the doctor tells you to. Merely seeing a doctor will not cure you of your illness.
Use Astrology as Guidance
Astrology works if you use it wisely and smartly. Your lives are governed by planetary movements, your karma and that of people most closely related to you. Which is what the astrologers study to guide you. It works best if you use it as guidance, not something that is written in sone.
