You might have heard a lot about astrology. If you start discussing it in a group of more than two people, you will surely get mixed opinions about it. Some think that astrology is shrewd guesswork and astrologers are fraudsters. Whereas, some have very high opinions, and truly believe astrology to be a science of depicting the future by observing the movement of planets and stars.

In this article, we will discuss all the basic things that you need to know about astrology. We will discuss how could you use it to your advantage and demystify a few misconceptions about it. Let us begin.

What is Astrology?

Astrology, according to Wikipedia, is a pseudo-science that studies the movement and positions of stars, planets, other celestial objects in order to depict the life of a person. Astrology is not just concerned with the future of a being (though many people are concerned about the future only), but also holds the power to depict the past and present life.

There are many people who claim to believe in science and they simply ridicule astrology. What they do not understand is the fact that astrology has more logic, reason, facts, and proof than any other field of science. There is no doubt that there are many fraudsters who claim to be an astrologer but they simply rob their clients of money and time.

Who are Astrologers?

Astrologers are persons who have attained divine knowledge through deep and devoted studies of Astrology. These people are capable of predicting your past, present, and future through calculations based on your date and time of birth.

A capable astrologer not only tells about the reasons for upcoming or current problems but also knows how to deflect them or reduce them to some extent. There are many great astrologers who are capable enough to tell you all about your life, just by looking at your face.

How to Differentiate Between a Good and Bad Astrologer

One should not forget that there are fraudsters in every field and one has to be extremely cautious while visiting an astrologer.  You might have read ‘An Astrologer’s Day’, a short thriller by R.K. Narayan. If not, you should read it before you visit one. This short story will give you an idea about fraud astrologers and the kind of things they say.

Ask Questions

The first and the most important tip is to ask as many questions as possible. You may ask questions about your current life, family, problems, etc. You may even ask about your past life or the future.

Seek the Truth

A fraudster tells you what you want to listen whereas, a true astrologer will tell you the truth.

Confidence Says It All

Last but not least, look whether the astrologer is confident enough or not. A capable person holds an air of confidence while working. You have to seek whether it is present or not.

The Myths V/s The Truth

Now, let us have a look at the popular myths regarding astrology and what is the real side of the story:

Astrology is Shrewd Guesswork

Only fake astrologers rely on guesswork. Real astrologers rely more on their observations, movement of celestial bodies, and their calculations. Like any other field, astrology requires a lot of discipline and focus. A true astrologer holds some sort of connection with divine powers and can easily tell much more than you already know about yourself.

Astrology and Astronomy are the Same

This is totally false and there is a major difference between the two. Astrology is the means to tell you about your life by observing the movement of celestial bodies. On the flip side, Astronomy is the study related to celestial bodies. Astronomers explore the celestial bodies while astrologers just observe their movements.

Astrology Can’t Solve Any Problems

Many argue that astrology does not hold any power to solve the problems of our lives. This is, again, a complete lie. The astrologers not only tell you the reasons that are causing problems in your life but they also give you the solution that removes the problem. There are times when finding a permanent solution becomes difficult. In such cases, the astrologers suggest certain ways to diminish the problem to some extent.

We can say that:

Astrology is not about guesswork.

Astrology and Astronomy are two different things.

Astrology is capable of solving your problems.
