It is said that 'astrology is the art of giving hope to the hopeless'. I don't know how far it is true, but to me it is a very confusing science, and i still don't know whether to believe it or not.

The Hindu religion depends a lot on astrologers. Right from a child's birth the astrologer is in great demand as it is they who foretell the child's future. Weddings are also incomplete without their viewpoint, as the astrological charts of the would be bride and groom have to be perfectly matched by them. actually, i would say that astrology is a religion within itself in the hindu community.

I personally used to have my own reservations about this science, which bordered on disbelief, as i personally know many marriages where the astrological charts had matched perfectly, but the less said about their relationship, the better. I also know of many other instances where astrology was totally sidelined and the marriage ended in a divorce.

Some time back, i met an astrologer, who was a retired professor of a reputed engineering college. He had taken it up purely due to interest, and he explained to me that astrology is nothing but pure mathematical calculation. some unscruplous people interpret it in a wrong manner, leading to complications, but otherwise, it is a very accurate science. I was forced to accept his statement especially after several of his observations in my own life came true.

what do you feel about the whole thing? is astrology a sham or an accurate science??

From my experience, that's exactly how I feel too.
It is accurate if done by the right person. I've had so many different experiences that I stopped believing at a point....though my horoscope that was written at birth was very accurate and it even had the time that I would undergo an operation as a child (which we checked only after the operation when I was 3).
I don't really let astrology rule my life...but sometimes check my horoscope just for the heck of it and then realize that so many things are true.
So, it's not like I don't believe in astrology but I don't trust everyone who says they are astrologers....even a 75% accuracy is not enough to make me believe.

Hi Pree....There is some truth in astrology and I do share the views of the retired professor .A friend of mine,a scientist,has done a detailed study on astrology and he predicts things based on logical and mathematical calculations......And most of his predictions do come true...

But it is true that we cannot believe cent per cent on astrology.....Many of the people posing as astrologers have only a limited knowledge of astrology and hence the yredictions they make do not always tally with the events they forcast.They are mostly fly by night operators who are only interested to make some quick money in the name of astrology......

It is true that in Hindu community astrology plays an important part and is widely depended on for fixing marriages and other important events......But very often the inabitity and inexperience of astrologers cause more harm than good in certain cases......
