Is Astrology a Fiction? - What You Need to Know


Whenever I discuss astrology people either skip it or take a lot of interest in it. In India, astrology is highly believed. Especially among elderly people, they are highly superstitious, and whatever astrologers tell they blindly believe it. Especially in small towns because they feel that is right. They are being taught that astrology tells about you.

That’s why when a child is born their family members make a birth track to know about his or her future. But among the upcoming generations will astrology exist? Is it fiction that is made up in the minds of people?

Why people are crazy about astrology?

Astrology has existed for like a thousand years. It is an ancient way of analyzing your future. It is a guide for you. Looking at your stars and your planetary conditions they define what you have to do. 

Something which is god created for humans to know about their actions in the future. 

I feel astrology is something that is very controversial yet one of the most interesting things to know about. I am al
so a believer in astrology. But I feel it is an illusion in your eyes and reality is different. 

It helps to know about yourself basically a self-discovery. If you are facing any problems you assist your astrologer and he will see your birth track. The astrologer will also see your sun sign and stars and planetary conditions around you and will tell you to do something to overcome any problem. 

People have done it and they have found very positive results. But many people did not have found the result.

Many people who tried astrology found it an illusion and when they see the reality they find it very contrasting. Like in their birth track it’s written that you will have a successful life and your stars also support you. 

But reality turns out to be something different. In India, I have seen people showing their hands to pandits so that pandits can predict their future. People find it very religious.

People are anxious and crazy about themselves that they are interested. People dream about the future and expect that something unexpected and wonderful would be there. When they see the reality they are shocked and sorrowful. Their craziness makes them blind. Astrology is more of a prediction than a self-discovery. 

How it still remains to be a billion-dollar industry?

Whether or not we find astrology controversial but it still remains to be a billion-dollar industry. 

People go to astrologers to find and predict your future. Even celebrities also set their schedules according to their planetary conditions. 

Like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Mark Zukerberg. In fact, when Mark Zuckerberg was facing problems while upscaling the business he took the help of astrology, and now we see that he is one of the most successful persons on earth. 

During the time of lockdown, people had a very hard time. Suddenly everything was at a standstill. People were clueless and they wanted to seek help. That’s where the astrology industry became a boom. In order to find when their luck will blossom they consulted astrologists. To see whether their planetary conditions are under control or how to overcome the obstacles they are facing.

People learn about astrology because it’s a business now. Taking online courses from various reputed sites to learn about astrology and palmistry. It’s something which is very stable. Something in which we make a career. I do feel that I should try it. 

Let’s flip the other side

It is a billion-dollar industry but there are negatives too. Astrology fails to explain the fact these are predictions. Maybe it explains but people fail to understand. Many astrologers for the sake of earning a lot of money give a lot of fake advice. Because of that people blindly follow they face disastrous consequences. 

Trust me it happened with me too. They give a lot of fake advice and it is us who are harmed. 

I sometimes don’t understand why people have expectations that astrology is not a magic wand that will make the most successful person within a short span of time. It will take time. It is not a hundred percent successful, it will take time.
 
Conclusion

I feel astrology is partly fiction but sometimes it’s a reality too. It’s how we perceive. What do you think about astrology?
