Intriguing Astrology!
All through out my life from when I could read and understand, I have been intrigued by this thing called Astrology! People say that there are quite a few unexplained forces that govern our life. Somebody called it God, and someone else calls it Nature!
Whatever the forces, it seem ridiculous, and sometimes too good to believe. Just recently there was this Tarot Car reader who had said that Bangladesh will have an excellent start and will give India some set backs! Also there was this thing about Pakistan’s suicidal game plan which might back lash at it…and ergo, what do we have, Pakistan is out of the group.
But what caught me was something more than interesting. An astrologer says that he had made these predictions on cricket based on a book written way back in 2 B.C. Brihata Samhita. What does that mean. That the way these planets are aligned, affects the humans such that they perform exactly the way these planets make them do!
Also another interesting issue is – Hindu Astrology and many other astrology systems do not have Pluto in their system. And after a huge struggle, Pluto was taken off from the Planetary system!
Not long ago, it was scientifically proven that the the illusion of the moon disappearing and appearing or basically called New Moon and Full Moons affect human brains! I think many will remember their grannys telling them not to venture out during these days!
One wonders if people in the BCs could understand observe, note and understand the behavior of such astronomical events, one wonders why they didn’t create something like a computer, or Internet. Or did they? And if they were intelligent enough, then how did they link one human system to another. Was it done spiritually, achieved through torturous meditation? These things probably one will never understand! But will always intrigue us!
