I saw an article on Salman Khan today in the online version of a leading newspaper. This sort of astrology is exactly what irritates me.
This is what I call post mortem astrology, i.e. after something has happened, the so-called astrologer will tell you that its going to happen. Yes, you read that right. For example, this particular astrologer made the following points:
1) "The presence of Mars in the 10th house makes for Ruchaka Yoga, which bestows him with strength to defeat his enemies. Such people are often found in defence, army or police but since Venus also accompanies Mars in the 10th house, Salman happened to be more interested in the world of lights, camera and action! Ruchaka Yoga, backed with a strong Venus, is what makes Salman Khan the superstar of Hindi cinema"
-- in other words, the astrologer is not predicting anything. In fact saying that Salman Khan should have been in a defence profession, but he is not...so now looking desperately for a planet or a aspect that causes the reality to fit a post mortem prediction....aaah....theres Venus. So he must be in films. A 3 year old kid can tell you Salman Khan is in films, you dont need to be a astrologer for that.
2) " The Dabangg Khan believes in speaking his heart out most of the time without giving a damn as to what people would think of him. While it’s entertaining to listen to him most of the time, there have been instances in the past when his comments were not received well. This is because of placement of Rahu in the house of speech, which is the second house of birth chart "
-- but again we know this already. Another case of fitting the chart to what is being observed as reality.
3) "However, Jupiter’s dasa, which will continue till the mid of July, might put him in severe trouble in the coming weeks. Interestingly, it is during this period that Salman might have to go to Bombay High Court for his next hearing in the hit-and-run case. "
-- Hello everyone knows the probable court dates. What exactly is the prediction here?
4) The next 2 points are genuine attempts at prediction: a) His next movie will do really well (but any trade analyst or a glossy journo could have told you that) and b) Salman Khan will get married at 55.
Let see.
I have nothing against this particular astrologer. Just that the frivolous non-predictions made like this discredit the already under the scanner art of Jyotish.
