If the heart says "yes," and the horoscope says "no"

You can predict fate in many ways. For example, among the peoples of India is very popular janmakshar, which in their language means "personalized horoscope." In this predictive practice, astrology rules. On the basis of data on the exact time of birth, a whole map of the life path can be made.

Of course, there are truly gifted astrologers, but there are also charlatans who "know the fate" of their customers using a computer program. But, nevertheless, India was and remains the ideal marina for fans of horoscopes, because it is in this country that you can always find a person who sees the future in the stars.

This story is about a girl, fierce opponent of predictions. But one of them changed her life ...

Family Faith

When my parents came to America, they brought their astrological beliefs with them. Annual visits to India only reinforced their views. After the next trip home, parents always returned with a new portion of knowledge, and this, naturally, improved their mood. While I, along with my brothers and sisters, took out bags with brought gifts, my mother put on glasses and began to "read" our destinies.

At times, she paused and skipped whole paragraphs, so as not to sound bad news. So Mom tried to protect us from all bad. "I would not want my predictions to negatively affect your decisions," she said.

Over the years, I seemed to watch the mother's predictions continue to come true. My brother by 25 years required a kidney transplant. A sister married at the age of 30, as was intended by the stars.

Fighting the Foretelling of Fates

And although I was painfully shy, like a teenager, a sharp tongue made me a good lawyer, respected and respected. I can not say that this was all the result of predictions. I tried almost not to think about them and live my life.

Moreover, the society often observed my active speeches directed against this determinism. I tried to point out to people the differences that exist between predictions. This was my attempt to convince society of the falsity of forecasts, even if some have come true.

As a lawyer, I brought up the habit of thinking rationally, and also developed logic. These qualities helped me in my work, strengthened my ambitions. But at the same time they completely contradicted the faith of my parents. I continued to perceive their worldview as something annoying and pointless.

A Bitter Love Story

My father said: "Your fate can not change after reading a new horoscope. It is fixed and flows in a certain direction. It's just that not all astrologers know how to recognize the line of destiny correctly. "

One of the many stories that my parents and, in the end, I also wanted to change - this is the story of my marriage.

When I was 27 years old, I broke up with my fiancé. My lover decided to break off the betrothal after 2 years of relationship. And it happened not so much because of problems in the relationship, but because of his suspicions of my family. I've heard accusations of using "black magic" and similar statements. In the end, our plans and dreams simply fell apart.

Is fate to blame?

When I lay on the couch, reveling in grief, my mother came to comfort me. She practically did not say anything. By stroking my hair, my mother only admitted that this stage of life was a prediction. She knew for a long time that at that age I was deeply disappointed in love, but did not want to talk. Perhaps, in her heart, there was simply a hope that fate would decide to change its course once. But, apparently, this did not happen.

I was not resting the thought that parting was somehow unnatural. My beloved and I got along well and understood each other perfectly, but for some reason we did not stay together. Mom tried to reassure me that no one is to blame for the situation, except fate. But it did not help.

In the end, I decided to write my own final of the life book. This thought miraculously made me rise from the sofa. The next few weeks, I was actively studying and taking exams in a new specialty.

Gift of parents

To my return to New Jersey, my parents prepared an unusual envelope. In it lay a small plastic bag containing a translucent pendant with a blue tint in the form of a drop.

"It's a moonstone," his father said. Mother, interrupting him, added that the decoration is very expensive and rare.

I looked at the envelope. In the upper left corner were written the words: "Matri Vision, specialist in conjugal counseling and rituals." My name was listed below.

I felt terribly stupid after reading these words. I always thought that only fools are led to such proposals. Well, now I have become the same?

The Mystery of Two Planets

Parents explained that the astrologer foretold me a bright family future after removing the obstacle. When I was born, the union of two planets, Rahu and Ketu, was prevalent, which was quite unfavorable. Therefore, the parents had to perform a certain ritual to save me from the consequences. But, nevertheless, these planets have not gone away. They remained my companions for life.

I laughed because of the absurdity of all that was said, but I still read the instructions. I needed to wash the moonstone in the milk and water of the Ganges, and then repeat the Chandra mantra 108 times. I had to wear a pendant for 90 days trying to be
"Active and caring about one's health." At this time in India the Brahmins of Matri Vision were going to make a separate lunar prayer ritual for me.

How the moonstone saved my relationship

Deciding that I would not lose anything, I began to wear a pendant. We could only trust our parents and hope that it will work.

In 90 days my life improved dramatically. I did not wake up any more, feeling disappointed and angry. I can not say that my opinion on astrology has changed. But I understood: this is the only thing that I could do to save my relationship.

It only remained to complete the ritual. When I went to New Jersey again for the weekend, my parents handed me a basket wrapped in a black cloth. It was necessary to place it in the branches of the tree and leave without looking back. As I walked to the destination, I could not resist looking inside the basket. There was a cheap costume jewelry: earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Putting the basket between the two branches, I walked away.

Soon after, I was fortunate enough to meet a new love. Having started a relationship with this man, I felt that I was no longer limited by any limits, because this is destiny. But still the pendant always stays with me.
