Introduction

You may call yourself the most diehard scoffer, and cynical skeptic, as am I, but when asked to speak nothing but the truth, we are going to admit, albeit a bit wryly that whenever we pick up a paper, or open a journal, there is a chance, that we are going to go straight to the daily horoscope or the astrology column for a peek into the future.

This book is going to tell you all about the reason and rationale behind star signs, astrology and horoscopes, especially in countries where horoscopes are still being read during the initial matchmaking stages. The idea that the stars rule our faith, and the stars are going to come to the rescue, if we appease the gods or the planets is an innate belief, which has managed to influence the lives of billions of human beings down the ages.

Many of the incidents here, which I am going to recount are based on knowledge and also experience, because, let me admit it, as a full-fledged mischief maker at university, I had an enviable reputation of being able to predict what happened next, fortunes, and was well known as a palmist. What happened then, and how I often took advantage of this is going to tell you all about how we charlatans work.

Introduction

You may call yourself the most diehard scoffer, and cynical skeptic, as am I, but when asked to speak nothing but the truth, we are going to admit, albeit a bit wryly that whenever we pick up a paper, or open a journal, there is a chance, that we are going to go straight to the daily horoscope or the astrology column for a peek into the future.

This book is going to tell you all about the reason and rationale behind star signs, astrology and horoscopes, especially in countries where horoscopes are still being read during the initial matchmaking stages. The idea that the stars rule our faith, and the stars are going to come to the rescue, if we appease the gods or the planets is an innate belief, which has managed to influence the lives of billions of human beings down the ages.

Many of the incidents here, which I am going to recount are based on knowledge and also experience, because, let me admit it, as a full-fledged mischief maker at university, I had an enviable reputation of being able to predict what happened next, fortunes, and was well known as a palmist. What happened then, and how I often took advantage of this is going to tell you all about how we charlatans work.

Some of the incidents may be shocking, especially for people, who consider themselves comparatively civilized, but one can give perfectly logical explanations for any of these incidents, if they take the time to sit down and think over the reasons behind such conscious and unconscious behavior. That is why, the behavior which an overeducated psychologist is going to call neurotic, psychotic, or even schizophrenic, is just practical, commonsense, analyzed, and the motives behind them seen clearly by those who have the eyes to see.

Unfortunately, there are not many people like that in the world today, who would go deep into motives, reasons, purposes and intentions of actions done by others. And that is why superstition flourishes unchecked, in such situations and conditions.

Also, I am going to tell you that for the diehards who really believe that the stars are able to influence you, as well as the bad influences of planets, there is a logical and rational explanation behind this inborn feeling, and how this book is going to explain the reason behind mankind’s continuous search for ways in which fates can influence you.

Skeptics who consider themselves logical, sensible, and who believe in science definitely do not believe in omens and signs. However, down the ages, there has always been some innate inborn instinct, which subconsciously believes in these signs, because they
