Astrology/Horoscope

A young student from Nisapur, Persia made three predictions with far-reaching consequences, each of which would turn out to be prophetically accurate. His predictions concerned his King and the kingdom. He would later rectify Ptolemy's calendar and write excellent Poetry. And yet he would never accept that one could make predictions. He would be vocally opposed to Astrology all along. That student, whose name was Khwaza Omar Ben Ibrahim Al-Khayyam, would be better known simply as Omar Khayyam.

Neils Bohr, one of the most important physicists of the 20th century once remarked, "Prediction is always difficult, especially about the future."

However, millions of people across the globe believe, and actively consult, horoscope all the time. Many people subscribe to Astrological magazines and purchase particular magazines due to their faith in the Astrological column of the magazine. Personally, my reaction to Astrology has been mixed. While I feel happy when I read something positive, I always ignore when it says something negative about me. And so, the above cartoon amused me.

That is the reason, I put it here.
