I hate to enter into this arguments, but would like to share my personal experience. A group of my friends (2 mathematicians, 2 Electrical Engineers, 1 Linguist) at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Colaba, Mumbai did a statistical study of Astrology as a hobby. The enlisted the help of three Hospitals in Mumbai and recorded the birth time etc., of about 100 children and studied their longevity etc., for 3 years. Only two children died due to congenital reasons. But the horoscopes created with the help of a computer program based on Parasarar etc., did predict the death of about 23 children. You can make the conclusion. This group came to the conclusion that the accidental deaths were made as rules by mistake in the days of only verbal communication and later entered into writing which still persists. There is no statistical evidence of horoscopes making marriage successful. The only part that is interesting is the Gotra – clan history which prevents marriage with in a clan that lead to interbreeding and genetic diseases. Also, the absolute time of birth, latitude, longitude and other details are always almost wrong. I have learned astrology and it is just an amusement, but your previous birth Karma will follow you in this birth and the results may be hurtful.


Total compatibility (90%)-physical, educational, mental, and talents should match for a successful match which needs several face to face meeting of the girl and a boy. Any one with a stressful family will fail in marriage which horoscopes can not predict. As to the Doctor girl, she will be better of finding a professional who respect her intellectual excellence and medical skill sets. Her age is now a normal age to get married and she should move abroad to find her soulmate. Ignorance is pervasive as most have only bookish knowledge and fear of GOD. Incidentally, Dr. Wolfenston studied Palm history and found medical indications but not fortune etc. Criminals with short thick thumb in general will become murders with 95% confidence based on statistical evidence. I had confirmed this by visiting about 7 jails in India as a hobby. Just trust in GOD and leave such nonscientific folk sciences.
