Astrological quacks ….
If you rely on astrological quacks, you’ll get nowhere in spiritual life , clap your hands before the deity, the lines change …
Of course, where were they all before Covid or the recent wars or the changes from the unipolar world to a multipolar world….they were nowhere.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita, “Surrender unto me I will protect you from your sinful reactions ” could it not be clearer . Vedic atonement sacrifices are also mentioned , along with good fortune being removed due to offensive behaviour in different ways . All in all, unless one is being guided by a pure representative who is empowered and who understands every calculation , including Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati planetary calculations one is in the hands of quacks .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja has great criticism for Astrological quacks are their understanding of the planets movements and their failure to understand the influences of Bhakti Prarabdha and Aprarabdha karmic synchronicities are not understood by quacks .
Here is an overview of his views .
“He frequently criticized mainstream astrologers of his time for utilizing inaccurate calculation methods. While he himself was an expert in astrology—and even published traditional texts like Surya Siddhanta—he viewed many popular practitioners as incompetent and superficial, preferring the rigorous, traditional sidereal calculations over inaccurate, modern methods.
Key points regarding his criticism of astrologers due to miscalculation include:
Critique of Inaccurate Methods: He regarded the calculations of many contemporary astrologers as mere “speculation” or “nonsense,” highlighting that if the foundational calculations of planetary positions are inaccurate, the resulting predictions are worthless.
Emphasis on Precise Science: Although Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada was proficient in astrology, he emphasized that it is a karmic science meant only for materialistic individuals. He believed that relying on inaccurate forecasts instead of surrendered devotion was a waste of time, stating that astrology cannot save a person at the time of death.
Advocacy of Surya Siddhanta: He strongly favoured the methods of the Surya Siddhanta, which provides the technical, mathematical means for calculating the precise positions of planets, including the effects of planetary modes and attraction”

Any insecurities anyone may have psychologically or otherwise should be fixed by taking a secure position in reality, the reality is spoken of by Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita , Krishna is the supreme amongst councillors , a secure position has been awaiting for everyone , just take it says Krishna ,” I will give you all protection ” Those that take shelter of instabilities and build a house of crumbling cliffs are described by Krishna Himself in the Bhagavad Gita .

Ultimately theological and spiritual life means to be understanding of the facts that calculations are not based on “its all good or its all bad ” heaven and hell preachers are clueless of spiritual and material calculations and are totally unscientific in their approach to spirituality.

The reality is black , white, and shades of grey both in the beginning , middle, and the conclusions of spiritual practices.
This is very clearly defined by Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita as Karma yoga , niskarma karma yoga, jnana yoga, astanga yoga each of these processes will automatically lead to developing knowledge and increasingly devotion develops . Ultimately leading to greater devotion and a semblance of Bhakti yoga , first in Sadhana , practice, and then Bhakti in spontaneous love, which is ever increasing and is directly connected to the param para acaryas..
