THE "T R U T H" ABOUT ASTROLOGY

Astrology is humanity's oldest and most precise mindmap. It cannot, however, accurately predict events. THE STARS' & THE PLANETS HOLD HALF THE ANSWERS: YOU HOLD THE REST! Choices you make within the astrological environment determines what actually happens to you.

We are ALL FREE PEOPLE WITH FREE WILL. No rigid, fatalistic prediction can bind us. There is no astrological event so baleful that creativity, ?intelligence, and honest self appraisal cannot turn it to ?constructive uses and there is no configuration so glorious that selfishness and laziness cannot sour it!

The purpose of modern predictive astrology is to help people make better choices, to clarify the nature of the psychological terrain through which they are passing, and to serve as their ally in the endless, unpredictable task of creating the future!

Astrology CAN be mind boggling in its accuracy, but it can never consistently predict who is going to walk through the doors of your home, work or family environment. It doesn't naturally speak the language of outward, concrete events. The future that astrology foresees with such startling exactitude, doesn't always unfold in the world "out there." It unfolds between your ears and in your heart!

Astrology cannot predict that you're going to wreck your car, win the Lottery or Grand National. It cannot point out in advance the date of your marriage (although certain advantageous conditions CAN make romantic suggestions and overtones that would be fortuitous), your death, or the arrival of your new TV set.
That kind of astrological prophecy is ?misleading, bogus and unreliable.

What modern predictive astrology can do is inform you in advance of the natural rhythms of your life and moods thereby helping you arrange your life (outward experiences) in the happiest, most harmonious and efficient manner!

Thanks for moving the post, Rishirahul!  

On the topic, I disagree with some of the post.  I read in one of the threads that you use only the Equal House System, astrologer50.  When using only the Equal House System, it is not surprising that you may have difficulty with accurate predictive astrology.  The Equal House system works best for analyzing the personality traits.  You also mentioned Placidus which seems to work best for predictive astrology, although I've seen accurate results with other House systems as well, some of the lesser used and known systems.  Each House system has its own rationale and use...to say that only one "works" is to not be open to other equally (if you'll excuse the pun) good house systems.

As for predicting, astrology is as accurate as the astrologer using it.  I have seen Rishirahul, who I consider a far better astrologer than I, do excellent and highly accurate readings, predictive and otherwise.

Also, if you don't believe that astrology is good for anything beyond a personality analysis, then how do you explain the accuracy of horary charts, relocation charts, solar returns, etc.?  Each, in its own way, predicts something specific about the person's life.  In mundane astrology, I have -- in my own life -- been able to avoid a serious car accident simply because I knew the potential was there, so took extra precautions when driving, and then only barely missed having a serious encounter with another vehicle -- the driver exceedingly drunk.  So, I agree that astrology can only give the potential, the potential often becomes the reality if the individual does not take definitive steps to avoid that potential.

Where the individual has to take responsibility for his/her own life, and each has the capacity and potential to change the future based upon good decision-making, and thoughtful living, I don't think anyone can totally discount the entire field of astrology as having no predictive applications at all.

I look forward to your response.

Why do you think just because i teach, lecture and use Equal house that i have a problem with accurate predictive astrology????

"You also mentioned Placidus which seems to work best for predictive astrolo" I have Never said Placidus seems to work best anywhere!! is this wishful thinking??

Why do you insist on taking things out of context?
" if you don't believe that astrology is good for anything beyond a personality analysis, then how do you explain the accuracy of horary charts, relocation charts, solar returns, etc.?  "
Of course astrology is goo for these things, what you seem to be missing is the Essence of the post, which is:
Most people want the answers to simply life's problems, just dropped in their lap without any effort on their part. Same with Tarot readings, somehow people just simply want a majic wand to solve all their problems, without effort on their part!!.....

Most astrology forum do expect people asking questions to put some astroligical thought into it, from their own study or research and that was my only intention to get people to research and study a little rather than just expecting the answers dropped in their lap, cos NO one can do that, do care how good an Astrologer purports to be......
