How To Get Over Certain Fallacies of Astrology To Make it More Realistic

By and large, we know that no two persons ever lead exactly identical life – not even the twins.

Take the case of palmistry, for instance. It is a different story – whether we may rely on palmistry or not but we know that no two persons have ever been found to have even identical thumb impressions, so far. So, as a matter of fact, it should be possible to rely on palmistry.

If we don’t get correct results through palmistry – it is not because our palms do not match but because we have failed to evolve a robust system of interpreting the lines we see on our palms.

But sadly in case of astrology, we don’t have even as strong footing as we have in case of palmistry – as has been diagnosed by me.

As we know astrology rolls out predictions based on what is known as “Ascendant Sign” and, what we know as, the “Natal Chart”.

On the face of it – can we rely on it even if it did not assure us that everybody had a unique combination of “Ascendant Sign” and “Natal Chart”?

Does everybody have a unique combination of “Ascendant Sign” and “Natal Chart”? 

My answer to it is, “No”.

For instance, think of the possibility of two persons who may have born in different Labour Rooms (or, in different Operation Theatres) of the same hospital on the same date and the same time but in different type of families one in a family that is on a string-budget all the time and another in a family that has all the facilities they shall need to his/her proper grooming and proper education. Don’t you get surprised – according to astrology, both of them shall have an identical combination of “Ascendant Sign” and “Natal Chart”?  

The same way, though the persons born on different floors of a multi-storied building on the same date and at the same time are not expected to pass through the same sequence of events in their life they, too, have an identical combination of “Ascendant Signs” and “Natal Charts”.

This, obviously, paints a dismal picture of astrology on the face of it that would distract anybody from consulting an astrologer for anything whatsoever.

But I can’t resist narrating a story that takes wind out of any such misgiving if we, at all, call it a misgiving.

Astrologers are able to tell things that would drive you mad.

An incident that reaffirms our faith in astrology despite its all pitfalls

I have picked up this story from the pages of my own memory.

It was about thirty years back when my wife, a famous gynaecologist of Lucknow the city where we live, was coming back home from her Nursing Home on foot.

She walked through a public park adjoining our house and one of her legs fell into a pit that had been dug in the park on her way to plant a tree. Suspecting whether she might have got her leg-bone fractured we visited a well-known orthopediatrician of the city who took an X-ray of the leg and told us that it looked she could have had a hair-crack in the bone. So he plastered her leg and we left for home quite depressed in our mind.

It so happened after a few days, our astrologer came by to visit us and when he looked at her leg plastered he exclaimed she did not have any bone-injury on the cards according to astrology.

He sounded us that if we believed him, we should get the plaster removed and get the leg X-rayed afresh.

What stunned us was “extreme confidence” we could see on his face how he could be so sure of it?

We knew he was a reputed astrologer of the city but we couldn’t believe how he could have been so sure about it.

He, finally, won over us and we got the leg rechecked and would you believe – there was no hair-crack of the sort in her leg.

So, sure enough, astrology is not so much of hogwash, either.

I kept on thinking for many a year how he could have been so sure and all I could recall – he had looked at her face when he confirmed that she could not have had even a hair-crack.

Aren’t you astounded?

But it is a fact.

What do you think – what should have made him so sure?

He crosschecked the astrological finding with the physiognomy (the art of face-reading) much the same way as I have seen bakers checking whether or not a cake has fully-baked, by poking a knife into it.

I had seen him cross-checking the predictions made by him even through palmistry, sometimes.

This gave me an idea that there may not be anything much too wrong with astrology. All it needs is using a “system of crosschecking the predictions” also before rolling out any predictions to the clients – be it through physiognomy or through palmistry or through numerology.

System proposed for cross-checking astrological predictions

We may calculate the Ascendant Sign Number and the Natal Chart Number also, as follows, using the same conversion-table that we use to calculate the Birth Day Number, the Life Path Number, the Destiny Number, the Soul Number and the Personality Number of a person in Numerology shown below, to crosscheck whether the predictions could be relied upon or not.

Supposing, the “Ascendant Sign” of someone is “Saturn”.

The reductive numerical value of his/her “Ascendant Sign” would be 3 (since 1+1+2+3+9+5 = 21 and 2+1 = 3) using the following conversion-table.

Supposing, he/she has “Venus” in the third house of his/her Natal Chart, we can calculate the reductive numerical value of this house, as 9 (since 4+5+5+3+1 = 18 and 1+8 = 9 by assigning 4 to “V” of Venus, 5 to “e” of Venus and so on).

Natal Chart

To this, if we add the house number 3, we get a reductive numerical value 3 of this house (since 9+3 = 12 and 1+2 = 3).

Likewise, if we calculate the reductive numerical values of all houses – we shall get the reductive numerical value of not only the whole Natal Chart we can, as well, calculate the reductive numerical value of the Grahas that may be occupying all houses at the time when we want to find out what may happen in the native’s life on any particular day in his/her life according to astrology, also.

At present, neither the astrologers nor the numerologists calculate such numbers in this manner.

But by interlinking astrology and numerology in this manner – we may add a new dimension to astrology as well as to numerology and, thereby, infuse new life into them.

Astrology needs only revamping of the system a bit by, somehow, rolling into it the role of the parents and the brothers and sisters also besides making the cross-checking the predictions a regular practice.

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together.

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
