Sensationalism in Astrology

I am an astrologer myself is passionate about making astrology less fearful , Sensationalized astrology often preys on people’s fear and uncertainties. During times of global unrest, economic instability or health crises, individuals may turn to astrology seeking guidance or reassurance. Astrologers who capitalize on these tears exaggerate predictions to gain attention and play into the vulnerabilities of their audience.

Sensationalism in astrology often involves cherry – picking specific astrological events or transits without considering the broader context.  Astrologers focus on rare and dramatic celestial occurrences, attributing significant importance to them without a scientific basis.  This selective emphasis creates an exaggerated sense of urgency or impact.

Social media platforms often create echo chambers where individuals are exposed to content that aligns with their existing beliefs. Astrologers tailor their predictions to cater to specific demographics further amplifying sensational content with in these echo chambers.

Astrology has become a lucrative industry with many practitioners offering paid services. The commercialization of astrology can lead to the prioritization of profit over ethical consideration.  Astrologers are tempted to use sensationalism to attract clients, promising life changing insights for a fee.

In the age of personal branding, astrologers develop a distinct online persona to stand out. This leads to the exaggeration of their expertise or predictions to reinforce their personal brand. The desire to be recognized as an authoritative or unique figure in the astrological community drive sensationalism.

When mercury goes retrograde people people hear it will shake up communication. It will cause highly sensitive peoples to experience miscommunication, hiccups at work, frustrations with their partners and delays. Now this could happen at any time, but if astrology is seen as a metaphor for life itself they are going to take it very seriously. Similarly with Saturn returns we hear “All of your wrongs are going to catch up with you.’’ Lots of illusions are created about Sad e sati of Saturn as if it will ruin the life and tears and tears will be there .Here are some common malefic combinations in Vedic astrology:

• Mars + Saturn: This can indicate struggles with assertiveness, frustration, or delays in achieving goals.
• Sun + Saturn: Potential for feelings of limitation, challenges with authority figures, or difficulty expressing your individuality.
• Moon + Mars: Emotional volatility, impatience, or arguments in relationships.
• Malefics in Specific Houses: The placement of malefic planets in certain houses (areas of life) can influence those areas negatively. For example, Mars in the 7th house (relationships) might indicate conflict.
• Malefic aspects between Moon (emotions) and other planets can lead to mood swings or emotional volatility.
• You might find yourself feeling easily irritated or frustrated in day-to-day situations.
• Mindfulness practices or journaling can help you identify triggers and manage your emotions effectively.
