Beware of Rahu's deceptive charm. Superficial attraction often disappoints. Whether wine, cuisine or material acquisitions. Give it a thought. Why do things that seduce the senses often harm us deep down -tasty food upsets the body and sensory indulgences, the mind and soul. Think. Why, driven by the glamour of scintillating ads, we keep hoarding the unwanted and shelve the useful. Why do we tend to forget the obvious- that the earth has enough for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed? Why do we become selfish and stop caring for our society, our country our humanity? Why does charm overpower rationality? read more...

In the sunset years of his career, Federer won the Wimbledon title in 2012. Some lovers of tennis asked me if I had overlooked astrologically, the resurgence of his career and revival of his era we had known between 2005 and 2008. As quoted in the text of this article, I had not overlooked it at all. I had called it only as a DAZZLE, not a resurgence or revival in the antardasha of Venus. Like a Rahu eclipsing his hopes came Berdych. A dazed Federer did not know what was happening. Some lovers of tennis asked me through emails how is it that after my prediction about the decline of Federer since 2009, Federer has suddenly become world number one still. The simple answer is that he played better than Nadal who remained injured, Djokovic and Murray and got into this place but it in no way negates my prediction about his decline as will have been clear to anyone who watched the finals between him and Murray in London Olympics 2012 and the US quarter final between him and Berdych.

(Kush Singh, the writer is an MBA from Leeds Univsity in UK, a keen astrologer and now based in London. He come from a dignified Rajput family of kings and politicians. He has covered sports with his deep knowledge for some English newspapers of England)
The biggest criticism for astrology has come from the so called neo rationalists who have termed astrology as a medium of escapism and negative thought. The group of people who have attacked astrology have been those who have questioned the validity of the science with regard to the success rate of the predictions. The time has come now when genuine astrologers must attack these neo rationalists with regard to their scientific predictions.
Let us begin with the climate and weather forecasts. The Met offices all over the world fail to accurately predict the climate and weather conditions year after year. They have all the required devices, latest state of the art equipment, highly qualified researchers and still it is a disaster when it comes to forecasting. In spite of their poor record, they remain highly motivated when it comes to having respect from society and they are hailed as intellectuals.
On the contrary, look at the limitations of an astrologer as a forecaster.
For starters, they have to depend on the birth time which is not always accurate. Then look at the appalling resources available to them. Of course, the astrological community must happily put their hand up and accept that there is a large number of quack astrologers, with no moral or technical power but that is a dilemma faced by every community the most prominent amongst them being doctors.
The biggest handicap is the lack of self respect for an astrologer in society. It is a very nerve racking situation for the genuine astrologer and hardly motivating. Against this backdrop let us look at a recent prediction and let us appreciate the greatness of the science that is astrology.
In September 2007, it was predicted that the Roger Federer era would end. Let us spare a thought and look at the courage behind the prediction.
" Roger was still the number one player as per the WTA rankings when this prediction was made.
" Followers of tennis would know that Roger's strong in the second half of the
Grand Slam season beginning with grass. So it was not a case of predicting during a time when Roger was expected to fare badly.
" The first major grand slam to be played after the prediction was French Open and it was not that Roger was defeated, but instead he was mauled. " Roger never lost so badly at clay and the prediction about the beginning of his end becomes more respectable "
But the beauty of the prediction came on grass on which Roger is king. Suddenly he lost his supremacy and weaknesses began to creep in his grass court play.
On both occasions his opponent was Nadal. Look at the limitations of the astrologer. We do not even have the horoscope of Nadal.
It is the greatness of astrology that such predictions are possible to make even when we don't have any information about both contestants in a sporting contest.
For budding astrologers it is a lesson in the importance of the dasha chiddra and as soon as the dasha changed we could see the changes. The forehands going wide and the volleys going in the net.
However, we must also notice the period of Mercury in the twelfth house, sure it is that of retirement but what about Roger the businessman. Mercury is the 2nd and 11th lord.
For now, can we just sit back and marvel at the accuracy of astrology and its superb power to predict.
Yes, there are dirty and murky astrologers who give the subject a bad name just like the doctor who operates on the wrong leg by default.
Where are the so called neo intellectual scientists with their repeatedly flop predictions? Bring them on.
