Astrology can help us determine a lot of facts about people and events.
It can help us determine individual traits of people and the events they could likely experience. It can also help us determine the possible outcome of different situations, the compatibility of partners and longevity of relationships, and many other matters.
Unfortunately, astrology still doesn’t have the rightful recognition it deserves despite of its value.
