"Astro We Read- Is it Real"

It’s the New Year and with it comes new predictions.Time of the year when people across different age groups will be busy flocking to Astrology sites to know what’s in store for them be it daily, weekly, monthly or annually whether or not the predictions come true.
People who read their daily forecast every morning before they start their day. Nothing wrong as these lines from the Astrologers is as addictive as early morning breakfast - “Astro Words”.
Astrologers invariably come up with these lines that have become absolute clichés that put people in more misery than otherwise.
You read them as a humor supplement as you enjoy reading them to have a good laugh.The best way to learn how to write a non-committal line is by reading your Astrologer column in your favorite newspaper or a magazine.
Look at some of the “Astro words” that across. The lines written within brackets are your humble writer’s take on those crappy predictions/suggestions.

1) Family responsibility will increase. (When does it decrease? Would family responsibility ever decrease? It’s a family for god’s sake. If your responsibility decreases wouldn’t your family go on the street?)
2) Focus on career and growth prospects. (Well if you don’t focus, how on earth you could ever grow in your career?)
3) Those married, hold your ego till August. New found attraction could be felt in September. (Yeah right. What if your partner reads this piece as well?)
4) Those married face a dull time. Too many expectations are of no avail in a successful marriage. (First things first. Once married, men say their life is bound to become dull. What’s new in this prediction? Secondly, is marriage a business that you expect something out of it arghhh…?)
5) Turbulent phase for affairs. (Now can you please tell yourself which phase is good for affairs?)
6) Anger and confrontation will make a dent in your relationship. (Like you didn’t know)
7) Use your words wisely in your relationships. (Is a relationship some kind of debate or essay competition?)
8) To motivate team members, some of you could give monetary rewards and recognition. (Did you get monetary reward and recognition in these worst times first case?)
9) Romance is in the air. Health related problems and check-ups are also on the horizon. (Does that mean it is time to feel good and end up in hospital?)
10) You will all be ready to kick start the New Year with a bang by setting out goals and objectives. (Say something new will you?)
11) This year, you are good at convincing people if you set aside your confusions. (Now how could you convince somebody if you are confused?)
12) Certain challenges will come your way this year. The key challenge would be a complete overhaul of your attitude and thinking process. ( didn’t get this one, explain this to yourself?)
13) Matters related to property will grab your attention. (You know it will, have to think of paying up my mortgage every month.).
14) Though the beginning of the year does not seem exciting for you, your spirit and vigour will be enough to get the ball rolling. (If spirit and vigour can feed you and take care of your needs, then fine.)
15) Family and home will be on top priority for you. (Do you need you the Astrologer to tell you this? Don’t you know this already?)

Honestly, if an Astrologer could decide our love life, career or run our lives to perfection, mankind wouldn’t have been known as strugglers and survivors. These lines should only helps all of us have a good laugh and must end there as it’s up to us to make or break or shape our lives with our efforts.

"WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010".
