Astrology is a means of preparing an individual for the future. In fact, astrologers can help a frustrated person to think more positively. Some astrologers may leave you dissatisfied; that doesn’t mean astrology has no basis.
After all, astrology is based on astronomy, on the stars and the planets. These are real and influence human life. Can you think of life without the sun? Doesn’t the sun provide us with heat and light? You have to test out things before you debunk them. You can’t learn swimming without going into the water.
