Me: What do you have to say about my education?
astrologer: You will study a lot. There is still lot of education left for you. You will also soon get a chance to go abroad for education. (That was indeed true, i thought.)
Me: Money in my life??.
astrologer: You will not have finacial problems in your life.Money will keep coming.You will have the financial backup of your father and also from your husband. You will also earn on your own. Money wont be a problem. However you might have some health problems every now and then.
Me: I want to ask you some other questions too.
astrologer: Please go ahead and ask.
Me: You have a stick in your hand, shells and idols of some deity's. What are the significance of these things?
astrologer: Women like me have got the blessings of our deity "Jakkamma". It is inherited from my maternal side. When the women in my family are around 14 or 15 years, old, we get the word of jakkamma. The elders give us the stick in our hand and we do a pooja.After that we become an astrologer. It is just a plain wooden stick, but we decorate it with strips of silver.
Me: How do you predict about people? How do you give details about the person?
astrologer: As i told you, we get the word of Jakkamma. We have her blessings.When you tell your name or someother details,we suddenly get her word. We tell things which comes to us naturally in a flow because she instructs us.It comes automatically to us. I have got this power since the age of 15. Some men who are not married at the age of 35 or more would be having some marriage oriented defects in their horoscope(thirumangalyam dosham). In case of women, some might have some problems in their horoscope because the time they came of age was not good (poothagraham dosham).Some dont have kids also because of defective horoscope.So when we meet such people, we know about these defects and we know what can be done to rectify it.Jakkamma tells us.
Me: Is it that only women get this power, as i have seen only women in several public places who have the similar stick in their hands and do palm reading?
astrologer: yes, only women get these powers.It passes on from the mother to the daughters. Every women in our family will have these powers. But the girls these days dont want to take up astrology. They want to study and go for other jobs. So they dont take up the stick. But they will also have the powers. Once we have taken this stick in our hand, we cannot do anything else. We cannot take up any other proffession.
Me: In several public places i have seen women with similar stick in their hands. They call out to you and ask you to show your hand to them. They say they can predict your future. It is quite common in several public places in Tamil Nadu. How do we know whether they are genuine astrologers? Can we take their word?
astrologer: Nowadays, people from many caste's claim that they can read your hand. Some can be genuine, but some just observe people like me and think they can also do the same. Not all can be trusted. Not everyone will have the word of Jakkamma. For instance, Powers i have are inherited. Women in my family have this power for generations. I am 69 now. I have been an astrologer and a palm reader since the age of 15.This is what i do.
Me: Does what you predict involve face reading?
astrologer: No, we dont read faces. We have the grace of God. When you tell your name and age, we tell you the things which come to our mind. It is more like a sixth sense. We can say, because it comes automatically to us because of God.
Me: I have heard that the lines in our hands keep changing with time. Is that true?
astrologer: Yes it is true. It changes once in six months or once a year. But it is the small small lines in our hands which change. The three main lines will be the same. The heart line, the head line and the life line. It is something which forms when we are born itself. The rest of the lines surrounding it will keep changing. There are specialist palm readers. We are not palm readers, but we also know palmistry.We also read palms a bit while predicting.
Me: Which is your native place? Who is your family deity?
astrologer: My native place is Panchalankurichi. Do you know the freedom fighter Veerapandia Kattabomman?
Me: Yes, ofcourse.
astrologer: He was from Panchalankurichi. And his deity was Jakkamma. Same as ours.
Me: You asked me to tell a number in the beginning. After that you shook the shells and threw it and got a number. What is the significance of this?
astrologer: The 12 shells represent the 12 zodiac signs. What we do is match the number you say with the number we get after throwing the shells. If the number you say and the number you get are the same, then that number will basically be good for you. We ask this to tell you which number will be lucky for you.
Me: You said that if people have some defects in their horoscope, you know the means to rectify it. Either by some pooja or doing some deeds.How much can one rely on it?
astrology: Belief is the key for anything you do. If one has belief in the things we tell them.If they truly have faith in our word, then they will definitely have their benefit. If you follow something without truly believing in it, then it wont have any effect. I was living in Bombay for 20 years. People who believe in our word call us. There has been times when some people have come searching for us to gift us something, because what we predicted happened. It depends on the trust and the faith. If you dont believe in this kind of astrology, you should not follow it half heartedly.
Me: That is basically the questions i wanted to ask you. Thanks a lot for answering my questions patiently. I do believe in God, but i am not a very religious person. But the way you predict things and your profession intrigued me. I wanted to find out more about you. I believe some people have sixth sense.Some of the things you told about my family and about my character surprised me. Once you also told me what i had in my mind.I was shocked.If i ever get belief in the religious rituals you ask people to perform, i will definitely come to you. Till then i will live life as i believe it, Do good, be good. Live and let live.
astrologer: Sure, i would never force anyone to believe in things. You are welcome to come back when you believe. You will have God's grace. Do well!
Me: Thankyou!
Me: Money in my life??.

i often think - if some random planets control our lives, then what the hell are we doing in this world!
