Will the recession affect ‘you’ astrologically?

Faced with a challenging business environment in the wake of the *US sub-prime crisis –

*Software major Oracle has pared down annual salary hikes.
*IBM – cuts down employee perks, and withdraws fringe benefits offered to its middle management - which included free-housing facility.
*Wipro – likely to go for an 8-10 % hike this year against 12-13 % in 2007-2008.
*Infosys – offshore employees will get an 11-13 % wage hike this year, compared to 12-15 % last year. (Source – The Economic Times, dated 25th, April, 2008)

Well that was anyone’s guess, and it is a rule of life too. What grows too fast comes down faster. This funda remains the same for all industries - right from agriculture to dot com to IT. And this time the universal rule has hit the IT industry. So will things move from bad to worse – then the answer is a direct ‘yes’ – astrologically.

Now the million-dollar question is - will American recession affect ‘YOU’ personally? And the million-dollar answer is - it completely depends upon your individual horoscope. Might sound funny, but it is true….

Well here is an example. Tiruppur, the place I was born, grew as the largest exporter of knitted garments 2 decades ago. Few people worked towards it and made it big. And when their success stories spread all around, all the rich people in and around Tiruppur pounced into the business. It resulted in 5 companies every single street. Producing garment became a cottage industry, and even housewives were seen contributing immensely to the industry.

It grew very fast, and the recession followed. Many companies were shut down, and people thought it was all over - but ‘no.’ Tiruppur even today is an international hub for knitted garment. What is the reason? Why didn’t recession put an end to all the companies? The answer is - in times of economic troubles – people running bad times are wiped off automatically, and people running a good time astrologically keep doing well in spite of dreadful external factors!

So if you want to know whether you are running a good time or a bad time, whether you will lose your job or prosper, or you will come back to India or fly abroad – consult a good astrologer.

The star in the first line of the blog isn’t ‘Conditions Apply’ but….

*I mentioned that particular term deliberately for people who still think that India is developing. It is simple logic that no country would develop, whose natural resources aren’t strong, and whose export revenue isn’t bigger than import revenues. And no country will ever develop whose salary structure depends upon other country’s economy.

PS – while writing this particular blog, I got a call from one of my clients (an ex-Expressite), who mentioned that The Indian Express Group (South Edition) does a horoscope reading of the probable candidate before recruiting them. They have a panel of astrologers who would say whether the candidate would bring good luck to the company or not. Dear readers – please keep it a secret!
