When we seek to form friendships with others, should we look for compatibility of natures or should we look for that person’s astrological chart and see whether that’s astrologically compatible.
Answer astrology can be one resource in decision making. And it’s important that we don’t let any branch of knowledge gain soul or dominant power over us. It’s like we consult a doctor when we have major health problems.
But do we start consulting a doctor whether should I take this job or that job or should I stay in this house or that house? Maybe a psychologist could have an opinion on that also. But if we start outsourcing control like that to psychologists, then where is that going to stop? Similarly, the same principle applies to astrologers that millions of people have existed in the earth’s history. There have been many people who formed friendships.
Some succeeded, some didn’t succeed unless there is some clear evidence that friendships formed based on astrology have succeeded. Friendships formed without astrology have failed. There is no reason to outsource the decision making for friendship to astrology.
Even with regards to marriages, people consult astrologers and that is fair. Okay, if they want to. But there are cases where people are supposed to be completely compatible astrologically and still the marriages get disrupted within a few years.
And there are cases of people who are completely supposed to be incompatible astrologically and still their marriages survive. What will make a relationship tick and what will make a relationship trip? That is extremely difficult to know and there is no magic wand by which you can have a guarantee. Just use our God-given intelligence.
Find like-minded people. Even in the like-minded association, not like astrological chart association. So neither from material perspective nor from a spiritual perspective should we outsource the power of our decision making
