  • Astrology, horoscopes, stars

    Lets have a discussion on the Astrology, Horoscopes, stars and their signs but take as a fun, as a game, some thing useful to understand human personality not seriously as some friends call it shirk. Shirk has nothing to do with stars as here we dont worship stars nor we ask stars to tell us about the future or our qualities.

    Stars are like traffic lights whhich tell you to go or to stop. It does not mean that following traffic lights is shirk. Dont bring down shirk to such a trivial kind of things. Shirk is to consider some one or some thing equal to God or the same as God.

    we can also discuss each other stars and this way we can learn the positive and negative sides of our personalities which is not 100% correct but just a tool to learn, enjoy and have fun.

    What is Astrology

    Astrology, the Science of the Stars

    Astrology literally means "the Science of the Stars", from the Greek astrologia: astron (constellation; star) and logia (study of; ordering principle; utterance). It contains both the idea of an organised body of knowledge of the cosmos, along with the way the stars "speak" to us, or give meaning to our lives [see Is Astrology Scientific]. A person who practices astrology is called an astrologer. A very ancient, but still vital discipline, astrology seeks the meaning and application of the influences of the planets, stars and other celestial phenomena in our lives. Astrology and astronomy have in modern times become separate studies, though for most of human history they were two sides of the same coin [see Astrology and Astronomy].

    Exploring ourselves, our relationships and our place within the world, astrology has found that the symbolic relationships between the heavenly bodies are significant, and can be seen as a map to human destiny. This is expressed in the hermetic maxim: As Above, So Below.

    Astrology can give us insight into all manner of situations, from the personal to the political and from the most intimate to the most mundane. Because astrologers generally take a holistic view of the world, we can see that there is a spiritual connection between all things, even the planets, stars and us.

    What is Astrology? A very ancient, but still vital discipline, astrology seeks the meaning and application of the influences of the planets, stars and other celestial phenomena in our lives. Astrology on the Web discusses this question and many others.

      Star signs i believe are helpful in understanding personalities of people.. Its like we use it in everyday life. When hear about a person doing something we immediately refer to the star the person belongs to. Like if a person is lazy i immediately point out that the person must be an aquarian.and its true aquarians are believed to be lazy. I have a few people at home are like That. Likewise arians are believed to be born leaders and big time flirts.. Piceans are suppose to be day dreamers and emotional and sentimental. As much as i believe that astrology helps in idenifieng traits in people i dont at all believe their predictions. As you said about it being shirk. Its only the almighty who knows whats gonna happen in our lives. One more thing to argue here is that can the entire population of the world be characterized into only 12categories?

        I am libran and if you are Libarn then you, being a Libran, have a characteristic balance in your personality, work and also strive for this equality and harmony in your personal and professional equations. You tend to compare and analyze to make the choice in almost every sort of situation. This also shows that you are apt for giving justice, whatever that might mean to you. These are the symbolic attributes; other than these, you have many other qualities that are not as highlighted.

        You are intelligent and your strife and tussle is in the inner direction; you challenge yourself and try to achieve whatever you want, so any intellectual feet is expected more from you than from anyone else. But the balancing and comparing attitude of yours keeps you aloof from Quality Company; you might lose even the few friends you make in due course. You can be quite influential and tactful in your interactions with people but at the same time indecisive and yielding.

        You don’t possess the power to say ‘no’ and this may lead to some pretty unnerving and awkward situations for you. You are good too many things and find it difficult to stick to one and do it for a long time. You would prefer a job where you are in contact with people rather than a desk job, and even at that you are quite easygoing and don’t want to sweat out.
        Qualities that make you lucky are charismatic, intellectual, awareness, and evenhanded. Qualities that hinder your success are easygoing, insecure, lazy, and self-centered.

          Good points Spogmai however this shirk thing has nothing to with astrology.

          By the way whats your star and do know more about Libra.

            Thanks osho. I am a Piscean. And all the characterestics that a piscean should have whether good or bad, i possesss all.so you can say that i am a typical piscean. . About librans i dont know much but have just read the above post. What i have observed is that they are indecisive and they find it difficutl to balance different aspects of their lives. Also they dont stick to one decision they make. They keep on changing their mind often.

                Okay, lets see. What is the purpose of Astrology? Do you really believe what they say is true? How accurate is this?
                Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

                A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

                For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


                The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

                -Ferishta, 1560–1620

                  i understand why as a muslim Khaney would be inclined to close the topic, however i don't believe this was the right thing to do. she can voice her opinion and spread the knowledge she has to those who don't or to those who don't agree with her... but closing a topic means there is no room for someone to ask a question even. the right thing would have been if she had just pointed out how it is against Islam and discussed it with her... and anyone else who is a muslim and thinks it is not shirk...

                  we all know that a topic can be created over and over again, so closing one does not mean its the end of disucssion of that topic... we all come from different background from different life experiences and knowledge level... the best way is to correct someone and hope that the person will understand... if a person does not agree and asks a question, more effort should be put in making him/her understand...

                  this new topic is a proof of how Khaney was not able to convince Osho with one post and then bam closed the topic...

                  anyways, i just wanted to point out... who cares about what i think lolll

                    ^i don't belive in it either... i was just pointing out how for someone who believes in it, closing a topic on her without any discussion will not stop her from believing.

                    yes, not all pashtuns are muslims

                      Let us put it this way: If lentil has the ability to affect your psyche, what do you thing about a star? It sure does!

                      Don't rely on it, though, but basis of the science behind is legitimate. However, more scientific studies need to be done on this. Right now we are more concerned about whether there is life on Mars or not. So, the study of this will have to really wait. That said, in the mean time, spend your time in understanding yourself by your own actions and not based on the horoscope.
                      Islam will prevail, a promise made by the Creator of this universe:

                      [61:8] They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with the breath of their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even if the disbelievers hate it.

                      [61:9] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, even if those who associate partners with God hate it.

                        I am on MWMN's side. But we are just having a discussion on it. We will not believe in it. Just trying to list the goods and bads of it.


                        what do you think of it?

                          Chill guys cant we have some light discussions here. Why do we always have to carry talks and discussions to an extreme. Nobody is asking anybody to believe in stars, Horoscoge and astrology. Its just what you think about them. What i didnt get is that why it had to be mentioned here that all pashtuns are not muslims.

                              Yes, yes, I understood that. I was just giving my input.

                              I believe that if you are simply reading it as a piece of literature and trying to get to know yourself based on when you were born, then it is fine, I would say. However, to fully be dependent on it is foolish, to say the least.

                              In Islam we are told that Allah cannot bring about change to someone unless that person brings about a change in their hearts.

                              People have to understand that just because you are healthy does not mean that you are a good person and are lucky; and, just because you are not healthy does not mean that you are a bad person and are unlucky. Same thing goes for material success.
