Often people ask this question that if everything is destined then what is the use of astrology. First of all, I would like to inform that destiny no doubt is there otherwise why you are born in a particular family. Not every human being is same. Each one has his own traits which differentiates him from other.Each human birth takes place to carry out its allocated task in accordance with its karma. This is evident from the fact that not everyone is born with silver spoon. Also the fact that we can predict how the person is in a particular area gives precedence to the fact. Astrology can tell how was your past and how the present would be. Also astrology can give you a direction. It can help in timing of events so that you can plan well for the event. It can help you in choosing your profession/work.With the help of astrology, one can make maximum use of a good period. It is about adapting oneself to the running and in making timely efforts to change what we can and bearing what we cannot change.
