the reflections of abis.

Two days ago, it was a nice discussion at G07, Comfort homes… my paying guest room at Bangalore… That day, my roommate had disclosed his love to his parents… the way he handled it was admirable… three words to describe it: bold, true, and planned. That was not the only love story for the day, another roommate had his story, another true one… no obstacles for him too, except this fact – horoscope. It wasn’t a mismatch but was something like endangering someone’s life as a result. India’s arranged marriage paradigm and the love marriage concept somehow contradict each other heavily atleast in most of the cases. My personal opinion, accept whatever that happens in life is the best or if u are into love marriage one should not even have the least intention of looking into astrology. I always wonder how one can marry someone who they don’t know… There should be some match of character atleast… In one way the caste bias is good because it ensures similar practices on both sides… but as time passes everyone start following the same lifestyle… Another worse thing I observe is that love has become fashion! I laud the dating concept but it is useless atleast in present India. So what is the solution? I really don’t know!

Now coming to horoscopes… are they true? I personally believe in god, and that everything exists for a reason. Also I have immense faith in our fore fathers… so I do believe horoscopes are true, but they are not perfect as it’s a science that has been followed by practice… if you believe in patterns in life, that’s what horoscopes are… Basically all astrology techniques, Indian, the feng shui, or the zodiacs all categorize based on the planetary position, time of birth etc… In one technique they divide the signs into four: air, water, fire and earth… if two signs fall under the same category, then they are likely to be a fit… In marriage, this kind of fit is only checked… so either trust in horoscope or trust your own wisdom… both cannot go wrong!

So a small check game, for anyone who reads this, I have listed the signs under their categories, just verify whether you and the person you like, may be it friend, relations, brother, sister or someone whom you admire both lie under the same category

Fire: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius

Air: Aquarius, Gemini and Libra

Water: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

Earth: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
