Astrology domine

For reasons that had nothing to do with me (except driving), I ended up spending the better part of a day in the company of an astrologer who was dispensing his cosmic wisdom and interpretation of astral positions to various members of my family who had assembled for this very purpose. And as I found out after reaching there, my mother had come prepared to pose a question or two about yours truly as well.

Her chief worry was to find a way to keep me at home, I think she is afraid that I will my parents to suffer in their old age. While Mr Astrologer, or rather, Dr Astrologer (the man has a PhD) did not tell her of a remedy that will keep me tethered near her, he did reassure her by saying the stars speak of much too much familial love in my heart. Her other big worry was my marriage. To this, the stars say I have a "very very high possibility" of two marital associations. Hmmm... interesting. Either way, if my mother bought that, I don't think she will be bothering me about marriage any time soon again.

The astrologer also told me about the phases of my life that will bring prosperity or destitution, not necessarily material but in general. He told me colours I should and should not wear, some stones wearing which could do me good and he probably would have told me a lot more such amusing, interesting stuff had we not been interrupted by lunch. Either way, I can't wait to see what February next year will bring, since it is supposed to be the start of a 10-month long golden run.

After I got back home, I did some research about this whole subject. I had never been a complete non-believer in the 'science' but had always distrusted the 'scientists'. And as such, I had never really bothered to read about the science itself. But the little I read has got me quite interested, and when I have a little more of the luxury of time, I shall delve in to this topic deeper. Who knows, may be the stars and planets actually do reveal a lot more than one would expect inanimate objects to know about!
