The number of people going in for help from celestial channels is on the rise and they vouch for the merits of the method

For some people life is Taare Zameen Par. Well, we are not at all referring to the movie, but to those people for whom life is all about stars and planets in space that control our earthly decisions. A quick search on Internet can throw a number of sites that would claim to tell you about your personality, your friends' personality and it would just don't mind telling you that you made a mistake while selecting that friend and that you should rethink. Believe it or not, there are enough takers of the 'celestial' suggestions.

Not only the marriage, in which, Kundalis still play a pivotal role in many families, but friendship and also business is done by taking the sun signs into consideration.

Ashwini Verma, student, "My friend recommended Linda Goodman Sun Sign to me and found, to my amazement, almost all the facts true. Since then I have been very serious about all this. I have also had experience when my childhood friend fought with me. This was foretold in my sun sign forecast. I have, since then, become a firm believer of the science," he says.

Another firm believer of the sun sign 'science' is Ashish Tripathi, businessman. He often flies over to another city for his business. Himself a Taurus, Tripathi follows the friend signs (Virgo, Capricon), while choosing friends. "I always think and act so there is question of hurting anybody. While some select friends on basis of understanding, I take an additional factor of sun sign into consideration. And my experiences so far have been great, he says, adding, "Knowing a person might take a lifetime, and in business you need to decide quickly, that time judging a person by sun signs has never failed me. While I cannot choose my business clients this ways, but I make sure that my associates and my partners are compatible with me."

Working for a travel company, Shobha Pawar is a Virgo and believes in staying away from air sign people especially Geminis. Says she, "Mine is an earth sign and I gel well with only earth and water signs. I also share good compatibility with few fire sign people but I just can't stand air sign people."

Gauri Pednekar is working with a reputed PR firm in the city, says, "I am a Scorpion, and gel well with Virgo and Cancerians, with others a bit reluctant. However I do no follow it very strictly. But, while choosing my life partner, I will consider his sun sign to the some extent. It is a fact that if we see the profile of any particular sun sign you come to know that whether you will be able to spend your entire life with him or not. Love is always there but sun sign helps you to know him and understand better.

When asked about the prevailing perception, Madhurima Tiwari, astrologer and tarot card reader says, “Zodiac signs do tell us about the person, but human values are far better judge. Relationship like friendship and business should not be judged going by the sun signs. Each and every sign has got its own characteristics and it helps when one knows his or her compatible sun signs. And in decisions like marriage sun signs do help us in judging the personality of a person in a smaller time frame.”

She added that suns sings are to help us know our strengths and weaknesses and not to ignore a genuinely good friend due to his or her sun sign.
