Sometime back a user on Quora asked me a question – “Are there examples of people with horrible horoscopes but no horrible things happened?”. Reason for the question – His astrologer had told him that he has a bad horoscope and so he will suffer all his life. He has been terrified since then thinking that his entire life will be miserable. If you’re in the same boat, this post is for you.
Having a bad planetary alignment doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll go through the bad phase signified by it. In most cases, the planets are activated only during their time periods. I’ll give you an example.
Suppose you have an extremely badly placed Mars in your horoscope which shows severe accidents. But in your lifetime you never come across Mars mahadasha (major time period). Surely you’ll have some minor or average intensity accidents due to antar (sub period) or pratyantra dasha (sub-sub period) of Mars. But those severe accidents are unlikely to take place even though your horoscope does show them.
Bad Horoscope = Troublesome Life? Not necessarily.
