Astrology: do you believe?

I find Astrology intriguing and interesting. I believe in predictions sometimes not always. If I am asked to do puja/havan to ward-off bad elements due to planetary positions then I do that too. 😊

I am interested and fascinated by them. I dont believe in matching horoscope per say. But I do have some views on Mangaliks VS non Mangaliks marrying. When I got married we did not match our horoscopes. Although my MIL did match them afterwards with her favorite family Jyotish-Brahmin 😉 😆 We simply did not want to know the outcome 😳 I think we have done ok so far 😛

I don't know a whole lot abt this but only thing I have heard is Manglik should marry manglik or someone having same dosha. Hard for me to explain b/c I am no Jyotish 😳 Hope explanation below helps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangal_Dosha

Mangal Dosha is an astrological condition that occurs if Mars is in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the Vedic astrology lunar chart. A person born in the presence of this condition is termed a manglik.

This condition is believed by some to be devastating for marriage, causing discomfort and tension in relationship, leading to separation and divorce, and in some cases, it is believed to cause untimely death of one spouse. This is attributed to the "fiery" nature of this planet. If two mangliks marry, the negative effects are believed to cancel each other out. However, Mars is not the only planet in Vedic Astrology that is supposed to affect the relationship and these effects should be seen in a broader perspective of overall astrological compatibility.

There is also a belief that the negative consequences for a single-manglik marriage can be resolved if the manglik first performs a ceremony called a kumbh vivah, in which the manglik "marries" a banana tree, a peepal tree, or an icon of Vishnu.^[1]

Just like Aishwarya Rai did??😃

Btw, I've heard most mangliks are good looking and look younger than their actual age.😳 I believe it, I believe it, cos am manglik maself.😆

However, I don't believe in astrology all that much. If you say something it anyways has a 50% chance of coming out true. So, if these astrologers predict 50% of the incidents correctly what's so great about it.
