Hi Pooja, do star signs and zodiac influence your behaviour and the way you respond to difficult situations in life?

Ans: Hi there! So as a professional astrologer who has actually studied the science, it is my opinion that the placement of planets in our horoscope does define our behaviour and a lot of pour personality overall. So yes, it does define and shape our response to difficult situations in life , although this cannot just be the stand alone factor.

Hi Ashwini, I had earlier got highly balanced answer so here I am with one more question! At many times, I get unique ideas for business. One of the ideas was also appreciated by one of the Rediff Gurus for start up. My problem is, I immensely believe in Astrology. I have a habit of taking an advice of an astrologer, be it a tarot card reader or numerologist or Vedic traditional astrology. Sometimes, I get encouraging advice and many times, the astrologer rules out success in business because of some planet in a specific house or current planet positions etc. My question to you comes now! Do you think that most successful people have ever followed astrology before starting a venture? or how much weigh I should give to "luck" before venturin out. As of now I have about 6-7 business ideas and they are one of a kind (out of box) and stuck in the US for a job and only way of returning to India is quitting the job and starting my own business in India. Please help!
Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

Apology for the delay in reply.

It's good to belief in something if you are convinced about it. It is also equally true to draw a boundary around the same. For example, if Astrology- it's fine if you have the belief on that science at the same, please understand it cannot shape your future or help you reach goals if you do not take appropriate actions in a timely manner.

Yes, many successful people are/have been following astrology having said that there also cases where this science has not worked for many. So, it's important for you to understand to take the information as a reference point and take the necessary actions.

If you have 6to 7 business ideas, pick the best where you are fully convinced and start with one. Invest your energy, time to make it work. You may also speak to your well-wishers and brainstorm on the different ideas you may have. Please remember not everyone would be convinced or sold to your idea at the end it's your baby only you can nurture it.

Whether you follow astrology or not is a personal choice. While making decisions on any of the ideas you may want to execute you need to also rely on the factual information and it's potential to grow rather than relying solely on the astrology. I agree luck can play a role on any success at the end it's a combination of hard work, consistency, passion, proper planning and so much more.

If you are passionate about your business ideas then is no looking back you will bound to get success. Ultimately the decision to start your business is a personal choice and it should align with your goal, values and circumstances. Weigh the pros and cons and its potential and get going. All the best.

Hope this helps.

To Your Success. Be You. Be Confident.

I am 21. I am a chronic overthinker. I am always thinking about what other people think about me or overanalysing situations and making things complicated. Is this a serious problem? What should I do?
Ans: Dear overthinker,

Thinking is a good trait to have, overthinking is not.

You literally have to STOP overthinking!!!

One way to overcome this is to stop thinking and become more action oriented. STOP analyzing everything in the head, put it on paper, there is something calming about putting thoughts on paper, writing them down with a pen and paper.
And then taking actions based on what you have written and no more thinking about it.

Indulge in physical activity, play a game which is more action oriented , this teaches you to be fully present in the moment, which helps you in being in the moment. Being fully present in the moment is what gets you out of overthinking.
Do meditate , I really can't enumerate all the benefits of meditation, what meditation does to people is beyond words.

There is a book called as, STOP OVERTHINKING by Nick Trenton, this book offers practical advice and exercises to help you break free from negative thoughts and worries. It provides evidence-based methods to combat overthinking and anxiety.

Another amazing book by Eckhart Tolle, "The Power of NOW", can help you.

There is no problem which can't be overcome, believe in yourself, you are more powerful than you think, the body and mind have to listen to you!!
What you think so you become, feed yourself the right thoughts and let the magic unfold.!!

All the best!!

My manager is constantly manipulating his boss about me. Everyone in my team is aware that she is increasingly insecure about my success and feels threatened by me. She often gives incorrect and incomplete feedback due to which my manager feels that my manager is more efficient than I am. In the past, 4 people have quit or been foced to resign due to these politics. Should I also quit and move to another company or should I talk to the manager about this? Pls help
Ans: Hi!!

When I was working in the corporate world, the oft repeated quote was, "people don't leave the company ,they leave bad bosses".
Your manager's boss is your super boss, rt? Can't you go and speak to him directly and put your concerns across?
I am sure the HR must have noticed that people are quitting and might have explored the reasons why they are doing so too, do check with them.
I fail to understand why women should not cooperate with each other. You can also explore the option of talking directly to the manager and telling her if your actions in any way have caused some misunderstanding and if she says yes then you are willing to clear them. Also tell her that you are not eyeing her post and you are just trying to do your job well. I did the same with one of my bosses, it worked for me, we became the best of friends, we are still in touch. You need to think which is your best option and choose one from all the possible solutions I have mentioned. You can always quit, that's the last option I feel..

Hoping you choose wisely..All the very best!!

my son is 8 year old studying in Class 3 . The classes occus is in morning shift from 6.30 am to 1.30 PM . after comming from the scholl he tired and not able to study in night . plz suggest the Correct time table for the second shift school child so that we can manage his tiredness and keep improving him in balanced way.
Ans: Priya Madam,

You have not provided information regarding the number of hours your son sleeps.

(1) Given that your son is only 8 years old, it is important to ensure he gets a minimum of 8 hours of sleep at night and 2 hours in the afternoon. Sleeping hours can be reduced once he enters the 6th Standard.

(2) Ensure he receives a balanced diet and nutritious food to sustain his energy levels. (3) Encourage him to maintain regular water intake to prevent dehydration. (4) Facilitate opportunities for him to take regular breaks and engage in play. (5) A 3rd standard student can't study for extended periods. He should study for 25 to 30 minutes, followed by a 10 to 15-minute break after each 25-minute study session.

(6) I am providing this information for general awareness. Parents should refrain from physically assaulting their children to achieve compliance, as this can undermine their self-confidence. (7) They should engage in more polite and loving communication with the children. (8) Children frequently observe their parents and tend to emulate their actions. Ensure that the environment at home is tranquil. (9) Addiction to electronic gadgets may also result in fatigue. (10) Regarding the Study Planner, it has been previously stated that regardless of whether he studies in the morning or evening, he should engage in study sessions of 25 minutes followed by a 10-minute break after each session. He will not experience fatigue, and the output will be increased. Hope, this answer will help you, Madam.

All the BEST for Your Prosperous Son's Future.
