   Should we believe on future predictions made by astrologers? How true they can be?
   
   Astrologers make predictions through one's date of birth or by looking at ones palm or for head. Is it a science based on facts or just we are bi fooling us?

   I think there is little if any relevance to making predictions based on the position of stars, but nothing is written in stone. People may have tendencies that may be influenced by astrology or the notion of astrology, but free will and conscious intent rule over astrological influences. To put ones faith in the material universe by saying or thinking that it somehow has power over ones free will and personal divine spirit is a tragic mistake in my view! Better to think that we as divine spirit have power to influence the stars!

   Astrology and Numerology are based on the same principle: that everything that ever was, that is and ever will be is created solely of vibration. This means that all sound, all textures, all tastes, everything we see - everything is made up of vibrations. That being said, vibrations effect other vibrations.
   Each individual thing has its own vibration. A chair which is factory made will effect another chair just the same because they have the vibration. But a living being interacting with other beings are individual masses of vibration reacting with other individual masses of vibration, and thus we react to other people differently. Person A might be besties with person B, but hate person C. Person D and person B might love each other, but person D doesn't like person A and generally gets along well with person C. This is down with people resonating well with another person.
   What does this have to do with astrology?
   Astrology is based on the position of each planet in the sky in relation to the section of the world you were born in at that exact second you were born. Being planets, they have massive vibrations, which resonate for miles and miles and miles and miles. Their position is what is meant to effect the person you may be.
   Nothing is set in stone, no. You won't have the sun in conjunction with Jupiter in your fifth house which happens to be in Leo and have it mean that you will fall in love on December 31st with a woman with shoulder length red hair and a peg leg.  However, it will say perhaps that you will find something which makes you whole around the time of your early adult life, just based on the patterns of the effects of these vibrational masses in the sky.
   There's a lot more to just "hey baby, what's your sign?" It has to do with the position of the planets in the sky at the time of when you were born in collaboration with the position of the planets in the sky at each moment. It's fairly complex when you get into it. I knew a gentleman who would predict the stock market by using astrology. He had been doing it for years. It had worked fairly well for him.

   Astrologers make predictions based on a field of potentiality, so in a very general way they can "fit" around what happens but in a specific way for each of us as individuals they may be beyond our level of significance.
   
   For example: The alignment of planets at any point in time creates a particular pattern of a magnetic field which in turn will affect everything within that field. People are magnetic creatures therefore we affect and are affected by magnetic fields. As I said before sometimes that effect would appear to be of no significance to us but that significance will change for every individual based on their perception of life/reality.
   
   For example: The significance of planetary events on a stockbroker would appear to be insignificant for their daily life whilst the life of a market gardener is more significantly affected (via weather patterns) whether this is consciously acknowledged or not.
   
   This in turn leads me to see that a stockbroker can be affected because stock prices can be affected by adverse weather.
   
   This field of effect is not limited to the physical world, magnetics affect emotions and thought patterns too.
   
   Having said that, in my experience most folk are not really in tune with their emotions and thoughts and the links between them so they don't notice they're being affected.
   
   And a field of potential will always remain just a field of potential unless we act on it.
   
   And finally.....some folk firmly believe so much in their personal future predictions that this unwavering belief actually creates the event in reality. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, which can be either a positive or negative event.

   Heyyy,
   Thomsonpen gave u a very interesting answer,however ill simplify it for u.
   Some people do everything based on pridictions that astrologers make for them and some of them say that nothing they say about their lives is true, that is because everytime your birth chart is made the astrologer assumes that the consciousness u were born with will remain the same throughout your lifetime, this used to be true in the past and a lot of things astrologers said were true because the consciousness of a lot of people would not shift for an entire lifetime, but now that ascension is coming really close and we have to bring an end to our karmic journey astrological predictions need not always be accurate because our consciousness is shifting really fast.
   Consciousness btw, lies in one of our chakras, our lifes challenges and learnings of this lifetime is largely based on where our consciousness lies, if we learn what we have to faster than the approximate time then our consciousness moves up, like how our kundlini moves upward to the chakra above and we start operating from there. So they maybe very accurate but once u do ur inner work and learn ur lessons astrological predictions need not be of the same level of accuracy.
   Enjoyy

    In my opinion, astrology should be regarding as being "for entertainment purposes only."  There's no physical reason it should work, and no credible evidence that it does work.  The same is true for palmistry and phrenology (study of the shape of one's head.)  In each case there was a physical rationale at one time, but its basis has long since disappeared as understanding of the physical universe has progressed.

    It is complete nonsense in the same sense that having a statue of the Virgin Mary is nonsense. Astrology is not a literal science any more than Mary was a literal person. It is the mystical interpretation of astronomy. Astronomy determined when winter shifted direction and started moving into summer. Astrology told a parable based on this fact. You could say astrology is seeing God's word in the order of astronomy, reading the deeper meaning of that order. What we have today is barely even that.

    The American 20th century clairvoyant Edgar Cayce said that people reincarnate. Between in a body lifetimes on earth, they spend time -- varying from very short to very long and maybe averaging around 30 years -- in the spirit world , where they have experiences that help them strengthen the weak or faulty aspects of their characters. Astrological signs are an indication of those between incarnations experiences and an indication of a person's inclinations. Of course one develops other inclinations from genetics, from the experiences of life, etc. Cayce said that free will can trump inclinations. Exercising free will, he said, is choosing your ideals and making a determined effort to live by them. I suppose, then, that a good astrologer with psychic abililities will help you to understand your inclinations and maybe your karma and the probable future toward which they lead if free will is not consistently exercised. The better the psychic abilitites, the better the information, though even the best psychics or intuitves make mistakes. There is nothing scientific about any of this, and I have no idea if it is true or silly. What I say about Cayce is from memory so may not be precise.

    They have never been true. 
    1.  Astrology is not a science.  Science can be verified with empiricle evidence.
    2.  When you read an astrology column, all of the statements are generalized; they mean nothing.
    3.  Why would the planets have any bearing on your life.  The greatest effect that might have is gravitational. 
    4,  Even astrological columns and magazines can't agree on predictions. 
    
    I suggest you read chapter 3 from "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan (the book based on the PBS TV series).  You could probably even find the episode online.  Chapter 3 discusses Johannes Kepler being the last scientific astrologer and the first astrophysicist.

    Astrology involves Science and Mathematics since it involves calculations of positions of planets moon and sun relative to the earth though the sun is stationary.  I will cite one example of how astrology used in India, which i guess is a trivial but an important one. Arranged Marriages India take place only when the birth charts of the couple matches. This is one of the reason why divorce rates are low in India and higher in western countries. People have spoken about scientists who did not believe in astrology. Freemason society members were also scientists as well as astrologers, Newton being one of them. Though there have been certain instances where astrology suffers a complex behavior but still if seen by a scholar it may be precise. A word of caution, don't believe what astrologers predict about your future is going to be true. Hinduism advocates the use of astrology because it teaches you to mend your actions or face the consequences. It is a reminder for our Karma. The whole Hinduism is based on understanding these signs. If interpreted correctly it can be a boon else catastrophic it can be. If any question arises question it for your darkness  of ignorance can be overwhelmed by the light of knowledge. Mind you judge anything if your don't have knowledge. I too am ignorant but I am trying to learn what i can. I ain't prefect.

    Any prediction should be taken with a sceptical eye. It's just like we played a card game and had cards in our hands from the beginning of the game. These cards could make us win or lose the game. But in any situation we should bear in mind, there is a human factor - us, who can make the victory or the failure possible. It's just the same thing with the planets. Only here the player is the entire humanity as planets, especially higher ones, work on a collective level, often in a subliminal way (for example, Uranus and Pluto). Astrologers only show us the position of the planets and their character at a certain moment, the possibilities, whether positive or negative, that these positions open to us, even as far as natural calamities are concerned. That's why their predictions can be true or false. If an astrologer tells you, this and this will happen with certainty, then he or she is not a true astrologer. They only have the right to give the picture of a possible change, for the future is not a tablet, forever fixed and unmovable.

    I am not great writer and cant elaborate my point to much. I just have a short and up to the point explanation to your question as below
    
    (Jyotish Shashtra) Astrology is a pure science & Mathematics Combined......Its forecast is based on planetary positions. We all know that the gravitational force of every planet is different and as our body is made up of the 5 core basic elements i.e earth, water, fire, Air & Space and so we are definitely affected by the positions of planets.
    
    We can easily be able to know the greatness and accuracy of Astrology from the fact that they had discovered the number of planets, their Colour, The core elements they represent based on its temperature and much more, thousands of years ago when there were no Telescope or any other scientific equipment.
    
    So you must not loose hope or your belief on Astrology by meeting a pretender Astrologist who has, may be a bucket full of knowledge from the ocean of Astrology. 
    
    If you still doubt Astrology leave your doubt and comment below and i will try my best to give a logical explanation to it.
