Many people dismiss astrology as mere superstition, arguing that distant planets and stars have nothing to do with our lives.
Yet the same people often find themselves seeking answers from an astrologer when life places them in difficult or confusing situations, claims the writer.
It is human nature to doubt what we cannot directly see. Astrology is based on complex calculations of celestial movements and time cycles far beyond ordinary perception, so skepticism is understandable.
But when someone who never believed in astrology turns to an astrologer during a crisis, their very act of seeking guidance reveals an inner spark of curiosity — perhaps even belief.
Unfortunately, half-knowledge practitioners and superstitious traditions have damaged astrology’s reputation.
Failed predictions have also contributed to mistrust. A true astrologer, however, does not promise guaranteed results.
Their role is only to guide, not to decide fate.
When a person stands at a crossroads, the astrologer’s primary duty is to help them understand whether a choice is favorable or risky, and which path among many options may lead to success.
Planets may indicate tendencies and possibilities, but outcomes still depend on our actions and choices.
From ancient times, kings and rulers consulted astrology before major decisions. Even today, millions of people across the world continue to believe in astrology and follow its guidance.
Their experiences often strengthen this belief — when events in their lives align with what is written in their birth charts.
Someone may lose a job due to a planetary shift, while another may gain a child or overcome difficulties during a particular period.
Countless real-life experiences make people feel that astrology works in mysterious yet meaningful ways.
So the question remains: Is astrology truly just blind faith, or does it contain a hidden wisdom about time, destiny, and human action — a wisdom that ordinary eyes cannot easily perceive?
