*A view on Horoscopes* when we are hopeless, we want someone to give us hope, we want somebody to tell us that everything will be alright, we have fears of losing a loved one or losing a business we just started, or desperate to know exam results, etc. we are scared of our future
so if someone claims that they can tell us something about the future, or if some person tells us about some person who can tell us about the future, we think of our situation, consider this as a sign from" God "and run towards that person, it can be a baba, peer or an astrologer
a baba or peer is a different story. i will focus on astrology here. astrologers are easily accessible. in real life, they charge some money and tell different things about the past and some predictions about the future. but there is this thing that now in the age of the internet
horoscopes, birth charts, star signs information, etc. is available free of cost. so everyone has access to it totally free. people have their own favorites sites as well because they predict the better future 
(i am not kidding) long time ago i was a student of astrology myself
(i am not kidding) long time ago i was a student of astrology myself
so I'll combine my knowledge of astrology, science, yoga, psychology,a bit of religion. Greeks and Indians have worked a lot in this field, Indian perspectives & theories are respected more. it makes sense as India has worked on yoga, mysticism, tantra, mantra etc. for centuries
I'll not go into other details and come straight to the main questions, ARE HOROSCOPES REAL? DO STARS HAVE AN EFFECT ON US? the simplest answer is yes, they affect us. then there is the question, how they do that? every object in the universe have their own frequency
each object is emitting its own energy, magnetic waves, radio waves, etc. are known examples in front of us and there are a lot of others too. we as humans are made up of different elements, each of those elements have their own frequency, we know the phenomenon of "resonance"
so the frequency of an outside object can impact our system (body &mind). if elements in our body can have an effect on these waves or forces, they will bring changes in the metabolism of our body, as we know our brain and body is all chemistry and these elements are a basic part
but there is a very important question here, which no one asks, are we under the control of those forces? or can we use our will power and change what was " told to us " by these horoscopes or astrologers? the answer is yes, we can change. then how? ANWER IS " WILL POWER "
there is also one very very important point here, the knowledge of astrology was not documented, it was taught from teachers to disciples, and like other fields of life, a lot of things got into the system which is just theories, so all the things in this field are true? NO!
let's see from psychological perspective, a scared person who is trapped in some situation, and he does not have any control over that, it might be a hopeless love, or upcoming exams, a failing business or a job, etc. and this person goes to an astrologer
1st thing to notice here is that person gave up on whatever thing he was involved in. he doesn't want to put in any effort. 2nd, the person lost the ability to analyze the situation so he can make a proper decision. if there is no decision it means there is no action.
if there is no action, particularly new action there can not be any new results. now imagine if the astrology tells the person that it will happen, the person got to hope and will to achieve when he knows that he will succeed he will try different ways and succeed.
if the answer is no, he is already sitting idle, nothing will happen except the person will become hopeless and other things will happen. also if the answer is yes and the person does nothing there will be no success that is another problematic area. so from this perspective
it was about hope, willpower, and action so the man was successful. from the perspective of hinduism, it's quite common to practice astrology before starting anything, or if someone is stuck in life to take help from astrology. but there is a very interesting thing here
no yogi , pandit , tantrics, mantrics, etc. are allowed to consult an astrologist. or take any kind of help. all these arts are to enhance focus and willpower so whoever practices that doesn't take any help. they believe they can control their mind and body by themselves
according to them, astrology is for lower class and lower status people who are not evolved enough to understand and control their life so they can take help from that as most of their life they are waiting to let things happen to them rather than taking an action about something
imagine a person with weak will power and weak mind , if someone tells that person you look amazing and so confident today, observe their performance, and if someone tells them they are shit and pathetic and then what will happen? yogis and spiritualists created a system
to uplift human minds so they can live better, and in that process, a lot of things came up, astrology is one of them. but it has no use in the system as it itself weaken the mind and will power, take away hope or give false hope or limit the mind and body to some specifics.
from Islamic point of view, we believe that Allah is the one who has knowledge of all the futures and we are not allowed to gain help from astrology. how does it benefit us? well if believe in prediction we are accepting that as our reality, which will take away element of prayer
it will make us lose faith in our own selves, will weaken our will power, so many personal characteristics will be lost. only these 2 can go on and create alot of mental problems. so what do we learn from all that ? we learnt that if we want to live our life on auto pilot mode
having no control over self, then it's alright we can put ourselves in hands of horoscopes, ups and downs will come but life will keep going on. but is there an alternative? another way of living? what if we want to live our life CONSCIOUSLY, AWAKEN, HAVING CONTROL IN OUR HANDS?
that is possible, we can live like that, by planning consciously, seeing defeats with open eyes & not getting worried, being hopeful, having a great will power to accomplish things, having the heart to let things go, having faith in self & if you are a believer, faith in God.
