Hi friends, Many people believe that planets & stars are the real controller of human beings. They affect all the activities of us. But I have a different say, I believe that human being makes his own destiny nobody controls us. Do you believe on astrology?

Hello Kanishka, You have raised an important and very relevant question- relevant for the modern times. To claim that planets and stars control human beings is not such a reasonable statement. Man is endowed with so many wonderful powers and faculties and without properly using them and meekly surrendering them to the so-called planets and stars and trying to live at their mercy does not appeal to me as a reasonable suggestion at all. May be they have a limited influence on our lives, just like a humpty-dumpty bus gives frequent jolts to the passengers on the bus- if that can be called an influence, yes, then planets and stars also have an influence on human lives. Not anything more than that. On the other hand, to claim that nobody controls us in anyway, is taking another extreme step in the belief system. At every moment of time so many persons and factors influence us in the way we look at things and that siginficantly affects our lifestyle and ultimately our happiness. So if we become aware of this fact then we would selectively expose ourselves to be affected by different influences so that we can have a greater control over our own life, with the benevolent effects of the right influences. It is true that we must have faith and belief- but belief in what is the crucial question! Let us not waste our valuable faith on insignificant things and become victims of ignorance and prejudice. Allow the planets to circle around in their own orbits. They are quite happy there and we can be happy in our own orbits. Right?

I believe the planets affect other planets. And on 2012 astrologers say that there will be an alignment of the planets which will cause the end of life on Earth. So I guess in some ways it does affect human beings but not on their daily life and on their decisions.
