I do feel that astrology has some truth. It may not be 100% accurate, but generally, it cannot be faulted for forecasting trends. Modi's horoscope has 4 major plants in 10th house with Sun and Saturn conjoining each other. This shows the sheer rise in a short time and precipitous fall to depths of nowhere. How many believe in it??

Astrology is baseless. There are different versions of astrology in India and america. true Science does not have regional versions. Then there are different other methods of foretelling- palmistry, numerology etc. These are not likely to give same results. astrology is nothing but a pseudo science that supposes irrational and fake relation between stars and individual fate.

But the faith is unrealistic and irrational. What is old is not necessarily useful. Then what you believe more- palmistry, astrology, numerology or some other method of foretelling.
Again, if you truly believe in God (I don't), you will not believe in astrology or any other foretelling for the reason that nobody can understand the ways and intention of God. How can astrology say that some body will die at certain age. God has fixed the age and He alone knows. How can astrologer know. If if an astrologer can know, is God not empowered to change his decision.
whichever way you look, as believer in God or as an atheist, astrology is meaningless and baseless.
Malays and Chinese are great believers in Astrology ...
There are some predictions by well known astrologers that make you wonder...There is a very famous astrologer called Dr Somayaji who has made two predictions about prominent personalities much before the two events happened and both have come true..

Its not just faith, but some stark facts. I had been to the Bhrigue Sthan at Railway Mandi, Hoshiarpur and believe me my horoscope was found and it contained dates of my life and behold my fathers name and my grandfathers name and names of my wives. It was great. I shall write a post on it.
Yeah faith, just because of faith astrology is alive till now
It's not Just having faith on Astrology, that's responsible for its popularity. Some of the predictions made by a few renowned Astrologers, are mind boggling. election of Obama as the US President or demolition of World Trading Center , much earlier to name a few, too are some of the aspects, that are reasonable of Astrology's popularity.

Thats the point. Astrolgy cannot be dismissed out of hand.I have quoted the example of the Bhrigue for me. Hence steve Kinsmens' forecast which also gels with mine about the "Napoleonic house" cannot be dismissed out of hand.There is post on this coming up on Boddunan by me. The 12th house of Modi which has 4 planets is dangerous

Astrology is a deep science and not something trivial. It cannot predict who will win IPL. This is a game of chance and like it cannot forecast a lottery winner number similarly it cannot be used to forecast results of matches.
People when they are not confident of themselves resort to "sciences" like astrology. When scientific knowledge was not as it is today, astrology which is based to a large extent on various positions planets take during their revolutions around the sun, was used to explain away many happenings in a man's life and outside it. But in today's age astrology has no place and is just a harmless fun time pass. Those who want to believe in it can do so. No problems.
