Mars or Saturn, which one is it this time?

Good morning, afternoon, evening or night depending on where and when in the wide world this happens to find you.
I'm generally not so good on Monday mornings, and especially being a pretty hot and sunny day today, with all the humidity and heat making you feel like your fully clothed in a sauna.I really need to beat out all that heat stored in me and so I'll share with you some thoughts that seemed to have piled up in my mind for some time now.
On some similar Monday like today, Mr Thaksin - Thailand's 23rd and one of the most popular prime ministers blamed the alignment of planets for the country's economic and political woes. “Be patient until July 2. When Mars leaves, the situation will improve,” he had said.
Now this is an obvious display of sad and comical state of affairs, is it not?

One other person I have known closely for years now is suddenly acting cynical. Such wierd behaviours disturb you because you have known the individual's greatest assets to be the powers of will and determination.I have always admired his ice-cold self-control, the detachment of a surgeon, the concentration of a research scientist, and the heroism of a soldier.And yet, the wierd myth of these stars get on to them so much that even the best of people turn cynical. The blame is on the Saturn this time. Funny measures to keep their stars happy and the lost happiness and prosperity back into life!! Karmic forces getting total control of life. How different is this from Mr.Thaksin's sad story?
Wake up, humans!! We are in the age of technological advancements and we can only imagine at how phenominally fast a pace the world is changing.It is estimated that a weeks worth of the New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century. So its high time people stop living their lives based on hypothesises that karmic forces influence life. The solution to most frustrations comes by being more aware of our strengths & values and making new goals or choices in a timely way .

  1. This probably explains why astrologers never faced recession! My aunt says astrologers give her "hope" she says they give her something hopeful to think abt during her tough times. That makes me wonder if we live in a world that is devoid of Hope that we rely on our "stars" to give us solutions! The point is that we all have the solutions within us, we don't need predictions to rule our decisions, At any given point in time, the future can change, it is not a constant.

  4. Great people who have left a legacy behind for the coming generations and for the larger benefit of humanity, did so, by relentlessly carving their own future. In the process, they also found the very purpose of their existence.

    They were too busy serving the purpose of their existence with a great sense of urgency, that they didn't have time to wait for the planets and stars to align or fall in place to carry out their noble deeds!
