The Horoscpe of Eros

“The astral configuration today indicates that you may find relationships an uphill struggle today. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong; it is just that it seems to take such a long time to explain certain things to your partner, who somehow can’t seem to grasp the meaning of your words, or see the point of what you are saying, anyway.....”

This is one of the commonest thing that you can find out in a horoscope today. The demands of astrology in the contemporary world, or the number of people who subscribe horoscopes through different sites are amazing. As in the case of any other modern entertainment Medias, these horoscopes also present trendy items like the horoscope of celebrities, the person of the day etc. For example, for one particular website Paris Milton is the ideal person today. Almost all of them follow the Greek Tradition or Latin. For some, like Ganesha Speaks, Indian tradition suits well.
In a market we can sell anything if we have the skill. It is not science or belief system that the reason for the demand of astrology. It is purely business. And for the people, they always look for short cuts in life. In the beginning periods of the advancement of science it was always in conflict with religious institutions. In the later stages both groups adopted the principles of the other party for its own purposes. Now science and scientists are running behind religion and religion utilises scientific principles.

The reasons of all these changes can be analysed in various ways. As one of my friends have noted it maybe because of my own prejudice against religion itself, that is, “You are blind with clarity”. If that is the case there are so many like that. And they have too much to talk about.
The system of belief which propagates this is not based on any clear cut objective/scientific basis. Even if there is developed system to understand our future by defining the positions of the stars, the modern proponents of astrology never follows them. It is another way to make money that’s all.
