Does the position of Planets have anything to do with accidents?

Yes, that’s what Astrologers think. Everything that happens in the life of an individual is influenced by Planets. Most astrologers associate Mars and Saturn with Accidents. The positioning of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto is also said to be vital when it comes to accidents. As a beginner in the field of astrology my understanding on accidents was that If you are suffering from frequent accidents and injuries then most probably any of the below conditions should hold true and it can be averted by wearing a red coral or Pearl as recommended by Gem Therapy.

• Rahu and Mars in ascendant or second house
• Saturn on Ascendant
• Mars on Ascendant
• Mars or Saturn in the third house
• Mars or Saturn in 5^th house

But after having a look at some Astrology reference books I am amazed that there is more to accidents. The Astrology of Accident is such a wide subject which one can go on studying for years together. Several books have been published by expert Astrologers on this subject. Some books I would recommend for reading are ‘Encyclopedia of Psychological Astrology’ and ‘The Astrology of Accidents’ by Charles E O Carter and 'Wheel of Life or Scientific Astrology’ by Maurice Wemyss where an in depth study is done on this subject.

However, on second thoughts, I also tend to think that accidents are accidents ‘an unexpected event or incident’. Should I be worrying too much about that I fail to live today?
