Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 My opinion is that astrology cannot predict the outcome of of a cricket match.Also it is wrong to have horoscopes for nations/maybe cricket stadiums too? A horoscope shows ones karmic position at birth and applies to individual souls only.Besides there is no such thing as collective karma. vivek.
