Astrology is thriving from times immemorial, playing on the hopes and anxiety of mankind to know about tomorrow. Based on the planetory positions and their reported influences of the human beings, this pseudo-science has been taking the mankind for a ride all these years. People practising this weird art, have been claiming that this is a science. The astrologists predict our future and tell us about our past. They practise the art of reading a man’s mind in distress and make predictions that would definitely soothe his anxious feelings. It is a moot point whether their predictions come true. But for the mind that is seeking refuge in small things of comfort, these forecasts and prophecies come as a drink of cold water in a desert.

Astrolgers and astrology have been part and parcel of the ancient kingdoms. Touted as a science , people flocked in large numbers to listen to oracles and soothsayers. The fear of the unknown pushed many people to spend money on consulting these self-styled pundits. In reality , this occult science has no real scientific basis. They do calculate the ephemeral and other astronomic numbers but any resemblance to science stops there. The zodiac is divided into twelve signs, known as Sun Signs. There are specific personal characteristics and traits for persons born under each Zodiac Sign. In India, they have what is known as Moon Signs. These are based on a group of two and a half stars in 12 signs. (There are 27 birth stars). Each star , like the zodiacal sign, attributes special characteristics and traits for persons born under it. Based on the planetory position at birth and the planetory periods of the particular person at present, predictions are made. The predicitons are mostly highly generalised and broad. Seldom specific forecasts are made.

Astronomical science has progressed far from the days of the ancient kingdom. Man has landed on the Moon and has already successfully landed unmanned probes in other planets. Extreme temperature conditions and lack of oxygen make these planets devoid of any signs of life. How these planets can be said to be influencing the day to day lives of the people on earth? Destiny, Astrology all these things belittle the human endeavour and his spirit for adventure. If everything has been decided in advance and if everything could be foretold, then why do mankind still engage in a mad race for material wealth?
