Advantages of Horoscope
- Horoscopes make you aware of your inner strengths and weaknesses. This aids you in gaining more confidence which ultimately leads you to be more successful and quicker in your life.
- Horoscopes help in predicting your lucrative career. This makes you aware of your possibilities in the future and helps you decide your career options in a more organized manner.
- Horoscope points out your deficiencies but also suggests remedies for them. It will help you get to know about your weaknesses and also will tell you how to overcome your weaknesses to be more confident and successful in your life.
- It will also help you with your financial life along with your personal life. It might predict times where you have to be careful about your finances when you will be financially strong or financially weak. This will help make your life decisions easier.
- Now coming to personal life, some astrologers, with the help of Vedic science, can perfectly predict the way your personal life will be, for example, your compatibility with your partner, your marriage time, your family life, your health, and so on. Most of the time these turn out to be accurate.
Disadvantages of Horoscope
- Astrology or horoscopes can make you superstitious. Once you are under the influence of horoscopes, you will believe nothing else except that.
- Astrology can make you seek refuge. For example, you feel like astrology can help you change your future or do better and for that reason, you just rely completely on astrology. This might end up with you getting conned.
- Astrology makes you not believe in your efforts, which makes you stop giving efforts completely. It is like, if your astrologer says that something in your life might be good, you stop working hard for that and if your astrologer says that something might not work out for you, you just totally stop giving your efforts for that.
- Astrology makes you believe in miracles and not in hard work, which is very, very wrong. Miracles do not just happen. You always have to work hard for something you want.
Some FAQs regarding the best horoscope apps for smartphone
What is a good horoscope app?
There is no shortage of astrology apps if you look for them in an android app store. Some top ones are Astrology Zone, Co-star, The Pattern, Sanctuary, and a lot more. I have discussed a few horoscope apps previously in this article.
Are astrology apps safe?
To be very honest, not all astrology apps are safe. Yes, all astrology apps indeed need your name and birthdate to work.
But some astrology apps ask for your details, and the personal details of your friends, family, etc. Those apps might be a security risk for you. So be careful what information you input in an astrology app.
How do horoscope apps work?
The horoscopes apps work on a system where if you input your birth date and name, they will analyze your horoscope. Some horoscope apps also let you directly contact astrologers and let them analyze your horoscope on a one-on-one chat.
Are horoscopes reliable?
There is almost little to no scientific proof that horoscopes are accurate. Most of the time they are not true, but sometimes one lucky guess or two might make you believe in horoscopes.
Conclusion
So, to conclude, now we know all about horoscopes, their advantages, disadvantages, and also about a few horoscope apps that will help you with your daily horoscope or more.
In current developed science, the accuracy of horoscopes is not proven, but horoscopes involve early Vedic science so yes, they are not fake at all.
You might even get very accurate results with the help of some horoscope apps, or from real psychics.
So yes, there is no need to dismiss horoscopes as completely unscientific.
Other than that, I would like to end by saying that, by far, AstroGuru and Nebula sounded like the best apps to me out of the ones I have discussed.
Rest is up to the users to decide what to choose.
