Human psychology is funny thing. It is unpredictable. Everyone is wired differently and you cannot really predict what will become of who. 

But one thing that is same in the majority, that everyone suffers through the bouts of doubt. There are times in everyone’s life when we cannot know what would happen; what would the future hold! This is something that is totally self consuming and push us in throes of deep stress. 

Astrology is also a psychological game. It actually uplifts you. Not in a future prophecy way but in a deep, insightful way.

Do you know Carl Jung used astrology to better understand his patients? He was of the view that Astrology is a great conspiracy of the universe and can help in understanding the unconscious nature of the humans. Very interesting, indeed.  

The locus of control also play a major role in the human belief on astrology. Some people believe while others don’t. Yes, when it comes to believing in Astrology human psychology plays a major role. 

But ain’t astrology a part of human psychology? A mere figment of what we want to believe in or what we do not want to believe in.
