Conversations with an Astrologer

Amusing Conversations with an Astrologer (science/astrology …)

After posting content probably too intellectual and heavy, I am ready to share with you amusing ‘conversations with an astrologer’. Science/astrology debate never leaves an astrologer. Being in public places is sometimes overwhelming especially for someone who follows a controversial career--astrology. It is funny or not you decide after reading…..

When you meet your family, friends, or introduced to someone for the first time, I am sure like most people, you are asked social greetings questions such as "How are you?", "What's up?" or about health, relations or may be work but it is different with an astrologer. Family, distant relatives (you are meeting after years) and even causal friends and total strangers whom (you are just introduced) will ask first question—‘I don’t myself believe in astrology but as curiosity I ask how true is astrology, believe it or not, most people who visit astrologers regularly will say the same. Okay, there are those who genuinely and truly don’t have any belief in astrology and they have this ‘see, I am an intelligent person’ look on their face and conversation with them is no different. I don’t know why, opening mind to astrology or say any belief brings fear of being considered less intelligent?????????? Such is the power or should I say the burden of new religion called ‘science’! It is important to have your own likes/dislikes and beliefs, but we must learn to allow another person’s as well. Well, this is not all read next…..

‘So who do you predict as next PM, which political party will win this time? (REALLY, I want to laugh….). Okay, I am interested in politics and who becomes the next PM is the area of interest with me not as curiosity but as true citizen of my country. One thing for sure I have decided ‘Never leave home even for a party without reading the newspaper/listening to TV news channel and calculating birth charts of politicians. You never know what question I may be asked. Do you know most politicians (at least Indian politicians) float many different birth details? Why? Try making a guess.

Next, from a complete stranger, ‘I don’t believe in astrology, but just for fun, look at my face and tell me something about my future’.

Now, are you smiling?

 Life is beautiful and begins with a beautiful mindset, so let’s open our mind to all possibilities. In this world each of us can follow their beliefs.  Know that anything is possible. You may share your views; negative or positive, life is too short to be anything but positive. We are seekers and there is no shame in having admitting the same. We endeavor to explain the unexplainable and find answers to the deep questions of life. This post, I have written purely for ‘fun’. With all of life’s responsibilities, fun sometimes seem like an indulgence, it shouldn’t be, though.
