Acharya Prashant addresses the growing obsession with astrology, numerology, and various forms of divination, explaining that these practices stem from a fundamental human state of being lost and fearful. Because individuals do not know who they are or how to live, they wander in darkness and become susceptible to irrational solutions offered by those exploiting their misery. He compares this to a terminally ill patient who, out of desperation and pain, is willing to try even the most absurd remedies. This insecurity is particularly prevalent in professions characterized by uncertainty, such as the film industry or stock trading, where the lack of a predictable future drives people toward superstition.
