When Astrology Feels Like “Bakwas”: Why It’s Not Magic, But a Mirror

(A guide for those disillusioned after love didn’t materialize)

Intro:

Have you ever heard someone say this?
“Astrology is bakwas. They told me she loves me, but nothing happened.”

I recently heard a dear friend say exactly this. After several astrologers and tarot readers suggested that his love might be reciprocated — and despite all his hopes — the relationship didn’t blossom. Now, he proudly claims “I’m happy single. Astrology is useless.”

If you too feel disappointed with predictions that didn’t come true, read on. Let’s explore why this happens and how to see astrology (and tarot) with a wiser heart.

1️⃣ Astrology & Tarot Don’t Control People’s Free Will

Astrology is a map of tendencies, not an absolute script.
Tarot gives insights about energies and possibilities — not fixed outcomes.

If the girl your astrologers spoke of truly had affection, that was a reflection of that moment’s energy. But free will, personal choices, fears, karmic baggage, or family pressures may have changed the course.

 Even when love exists, not all loves materialize in this life.
 The stars show potential. Human beings have choice.

2️⃣ Karmic Timings Matter

Sometimes the love we deeply desire is not aligned with our soul journey or karmic timing. Astrology can show favourable periods, challenges, or relationship patterns — but it cannot override the deeper karmic plan.

Just because a relationship could happen doesn’t mean it will, if karmic debts or life lessons are still playing out.

3️⃣ Why Predictive Work Can Feel Incomplete

Even the best astrologers and tarot readers read current energies.
But:

The girl may have been confused.

Her heart may have been blocked.

Other life events may have taken priority.

Fear of commitment or social conditioning may have prevented progress.

Energy shifts. People change.

A reading is like a weather forecast: sunny skies today doesn’t guarantee no rain tomorrow if the winds change!

4️⃣ The Purpose of Astrology is Guidance, Not Guarantee

Astrology helps us understand:

✅ Our strengths and weaknesses
✅ Relationship patterns
✅ Timing for action
✅ Self-awareness

But it is not a magic wand. If we expect guaranteed success, we will be disappointed. The deeper gift of astrology is acceptance and growth, even when life surprises us.

5️⃣ How to Heal When Love Didn’t Happen

Acknowledge the disappointment.

Understand that free will, karma, and timing play bigger roles than predictions.

Use astrology not to control life but to grow with it.

Practice gratitude and self-love.

Stay open to future possibilities.

Being single is beautiful too!
The right love, in the right time, aligned with your highest good, will always find you.

Final Thoughts:

To my friend, and to anyone who feels let down — don’t throw away the wisdom of astrology because of one painful experience.
It is a mirror, not a magician.
Use it to understand life better, not to expect life to match every prediction.

Remember: The stars incline; they do not compel.
And your happiness always starts within — no matter what the stars say.

With love & light,
