Recently i have come to know a lot of info abt astrology and the other forms of future and personality introspection techniques and yes things have been too positive too be convincing.
every astro prediction in the paper would have words like "you would meet someone new" , "there will be family probs", " Your boos will be angry", you will struggle to meet deadlines" all these are almost the given conditions for any humans day to complete if he read the astro or not.
So wat makes Tarot, Astrology, Numerology etc. so appealing to all the people?
I think it is the positive praise about themselves that sets the tone for people going for these kind of predictions.
When the prediction says X is a very kind hearted person or Y helps everyone, Z is the light bearer or A is the smartest or B will be very successful; the respective people will be very happy and positive abt the respective technique.
But on the other hand if it Says X is an arrogant and headstrong , Y is Selfish, Z is Dominating, A is Dumb, B will not become someone worthwhile in the course of life ; these will certainly send the recipient into a fit and make him swear by everything he cares about not to believe in these techniques .
I think these techniques were and maybe are relevant today but the problem is that it has become so commercialized that the truth if any is often hid from the recipient(or customer) as the world in general is very diplomatic they refuse to tell you about your weak points and will always glorify your strong points and make you feel like another Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Julia Roberts and the likes.
With very close observation i have seen till the time the positives are being said the Response is gr8 and These techniques are true but the fist hint of weaknesses or unpleasant traits and the response is right opposite to it. The people have stopped accepting the truth and have become habitual to only the positives in their profile by these techniques that they refuse to accept that they have a weakness.
The people doing the business of telling futures have somehow suppressed the true art and made it a listener friendly business so that they don't hurt the customer's feeling.
p.s. My card on the Tarot is the Hermit- I'm supposed to be a very good blah blah blah person
and my Astrology profile says i'm a Virgo- it gives the same traits as my Tarot- ya i feel nice but i'm still the eternal skeptic ain't I ?
