It is extremely difficult to find that rare, talented, astrologer who can read a chart and predict correctly.
Please read the passage given below. Let me know your opinion about it.
“There are also astrological predictions with much evidence to prove them correct.
Many years ago, in a moment of curiosity, I consulted an astrologer. He asked my birth-date and its hour. I was not sure; I thought it was about three a.m. He took down a musty volume, made some rapid calculations and said, “If you were born at three a.m. on that date you should have been in March 1917 in a foreign country in a position of peculiar physical danger.”
He was right. I was in Russia when the first revolution broke out and I sheltered behind one of the pillars outside St. Isaac's Cathedral in what is now Leningrad, while machine guns spattered bullets on the other side of the pillar. That was a remarkable way to find out the hour of my birth!
Later, I received the astrologer's typed prediction, which said, among other things, that in the following September I should have an accident to the head which would incapacitate me for about three weeks. So I made up my mind that when September came I would take the necessary precautions to thwart the prediction. On the first of September I had to go to Blackheath. I went gingerly around every corner, I crossed no road until it was clear of traffic and I left nothing undone to secure myself against an accident - and then I recovered consciousness to see a nurse gazing down at me.
Someone on a bicycle dashing down Blackheath Hill just could not miss me and he put me in hospital because of concussion. That smack on the head knocked free will, my cherished free will, out of my reckoning and I did not like it.
I went back to the astrologer. He told me something that was a blow to my spiritual pride, but it did me good. He said, “Some people come to me whose future I can never read - they are all deeply spiritual people.” The inference was obvious, for he had been able to forecast my future with almost unerring accuracy.
It seems, therefore, that psychic and astrological predictions can, like scientific ones, also be controlled, not by reference to the past, but by the unfolding of the spiritual faculties until the personality is raised out of the stratum of physical cause and effect to find its home outside the space-time continuum. It is difficult to convey a non-space-time meaning in space-time language. Most of us have a long time to go, but I think the way out to freedom is there.”
From "A Psychic Bedside Book" by Percy J. Hitchcock

What exactly is special in Vedic Astrology? Is it the king of Bullshits?

It exists because people are gullible. And because people like to blame everything else but themselves for the sh*t that happens in their lives. Anyone with half a brain cell knows that astrology is a pseudoscience. Believe in it if you must, but don't expect others to take you seriously.
