Astrology is far more reliable than polls if you know how to read it.

Sarwan,
All people of the world don’t have 12 forecasts only. That’s only solar astrology, and its very inexact because it only considers the position of the sun on your chart. You are right to turn away from these. There are 10 other planetary positions to check out too, as well as your ascendant sign, nodal positions, and how all of these relate to each other and to current planetary transits.

But as I see, the second row of that animal chart on top of the page, it looks like the crab is pushing the goat to walk straight and fight while the man with the balance is waiting till the war ends to weigh his pound of flesh. Is it ironic or what?

Citizen: good observation 🙂 if I may add: A friend told me that watching news nowadays is better than watching American comedies! Therefore it is amusing that some commentators didn’t see the humour in the banyan!

“They could predict that the pigs could fly”….. yes of course pigs can fly, hasn’t anyone heard of a certain airline serving that purpose….. Flying home to the South, eh! As for Goat: “Goat-ah”, ah yes that too can fly, very heartily so as we saw recently, and not only for purported medical treatment! So Singapore’s enjoying exported goat meat? Let’s hope pig meat gets exported permanently too next week. Albeit, we must admit that a certain new Bird meat is not of much better use here, other than for swimming in ponds or upon a Swanee River, but then again one man’s meat may turn out to be slightly less poisonous than the pig and goat meat, eh?

Back to banyan news: I don’t believe in astrology but banyan’s astrologer makes far more sense when compared to the perfidious predictions promised by the two aforementioned bosses. Despite my zeroe faith in astrology, I’d still pin my hopes far more in such astrology than in either of those two bosses!

Could that be an insight into whats tragically hillarious about our country?

I was not a believer in astrology until recently and never attempted to read my chart or palms. Then the change of mind suddenly occured some seven years ago. My chart was read by three highly recommended astrologers. I also got Kaandam read. The outcome was positive on all the readings. When I listened to the audio recording of my Kaandam reading five years later, I could not believe how accurate the predictions were.

It has worked for me. A bit of caution! I am not crazy to bury my head in Astrological readings.

There was in the sixties a tamil federal party politician who organised an Asuvametha Yaagam complete with a white horse imported for the purpose by the government of the day.He ended up as an ambassoder.Many state organisations even organise “all night pirith ceremonies” to confer ‘merit’ on themselves and on the ruling regime/head of the regime.
These charlatans were challenged by Abraham Kovoor of the Rationalist Society of Sri Lanka, and none dared to take up the challenge.
There is a saying – “A sucker is born every minute”. In sri lanka, a sucker is born probably every second.

Haha! Delightfully funny. At least I know who the Sagittarian and Ariean actors are, but who’s the childish Virgoan?

For sure, Mars will be doing important things on the 26th, and feeding fire into the natal Pluto of a certain Scorpio native, bringing him back to power for another six years. You can be sure the election date was carefully selected for him, too. Cos it’s also the day when the Scorpio native’s own natal god of war (Mars) will be blessed by Saturn, giving him perhaps an even longer-than-six-year term in office (cos Saturn rules over permanent events). He won’t even have to wait long to begin the plundering cos Jupiter starts to smile at his Venus, ye gods of plenty, from February.

Poor Sagittarian guy–somebody forgot to tell him that nobody should run for election at the age of 59, when they’re faced with their Saturn return, which is heaps more debilitating than menopause. And with Pluto complicating that return, while sitting on his Venus–much money will be lost too. So, bye bye, to power, money, Mr Sagittarian? Perhaps even worse because Jupiter will be magnifying all that bad luck on his chart.

It is a psychological persuasive instrument to manipulate people to achieve the desired result by the “forecaster” who has no capability to tell the future.

Whenever I look at the publication of “Horoscope” I turn my eyes away from that manipulative evil. I see 12 columns with 12 predictions. Does it mean that this world of 6 billion people have only 12 “forecasts” ?

It can never ever be the truth>
