Mainstream Astrology can have a dangerous effect on mental health for most people. Many people start going to astrologers after seeing failures in life. And what do they hear?
“Your Saturn is ‘damaged'” in a grim voice.
The ‘Beauty Standards’ of Astrology
It is as if telling someone that their nose is terrible or that their face is ugly And as if, by doing remedies Saturn will become pleased! Just like conventional beauty standards imposed on our bodies, Astrology has certain ‘beauty standards’. A ‘good horoscope’ must have well placed planets in ‘good houses’ in all the divisional charts as well! And if something is not ‘right’ the astrologer will definitely find it with his detective lens to satisfy his own insecurity!
Because 80% of mainstream astrology research revolves around predicting negative life events, losses, divorce, health issues etc. And I noticed that most astrologers when they predicted correctly, were able to predict only negative events in my life, but never the good events.
And as a result, when people start believing in astrology, they keep spiralling deeper into depression because all they see and hear in astrology is only negativity.
So let me tell you this, the Perfect horoscope does NOT exist. And secondly, no astrologer has the right to decide what is a good horoscope or a bad one.
How Astrology ‘Guidance’ works
They will tell you that your Venus is ‘damaged’ so you must respect women. As if I need to respect women just to appease Venus and ‘fix’ my birth chart! I do not have to go to an astrologer to be told to respect women, it must come from within!
Your Horoscope is the Photograph of your Past Karmas
Karma is the Backbone of Astrology. As you sow shall you reap. You must depend on your own wisdom and not on astrology for answers.
But unfortunately I have seen astrology students plunging deeper into depression every time they look at their chart. “My 10th lord is badly placed, I’ll never get a good job” is what I hear often. Yes! you’ll never get a good job because you do not believe in yourself, you lack confidence, you have no will power and you do not take steps to work on your skillset!
I do certain experiments. I show a chart and ask astrologers to predict. They joyfully bring out the ‘flaws’ in the charts. I ask them if this person can become a politician after they fail to list it as a possible career! Then I reveal that the chart is of Abraham Lincoln. I have done the same for charts of Shah Rukh Khan and so on, to make the point that we must not depend on astrologers. An Abraham Lincoln or Shah Rukh Khan will not care for what is written in the horoscope, even if they believe in astrology they would like to create their own destiny and chase their dreams relentlessly.
Astrology is not a NEED. What we truly NEED is to go within.
