Please be reminded that these are what we call "aid to our future". Though it is not really necessary to practice each word being spoken, but at least we were given an insight about our future which we would strive to attain.

History of Astrology
http://www.astrology.com/parkersintro.html
There are two major problems to be faced when writing about the history of astrology. One is that of length. Astrology has been of great importance in many countries of the world since long before the invention of writing, and until at least the end of the 16th century; recently there has been a considerable revival of interest. The amount of documentation is therefore almost incalculable, and to examine the subject in depth would mean a work of such size that probably no publisher could contemplate it without a massive subsidy, and only a writer prepared to give his life to the subject could attempt it.
The second problem is that of partiality. Very few people seem able to discuss astrology without emotion. This is partly a matter of temperament, but also often a matter of misinformation and almost always of bias of one sort or another. It can be, for instance, the result of a simple contemplation of the harm that may be done by an uncritical belief in the infallibility of astrological advice - quite as much harm as can be done by the uncritical acceptance of the infallibility of theological advice. Sometimes too a simple-minded devotion to astrology has resulted in the acceptance of legends entirely without basis, invariably supporting the claims of astrology. Some 'histories' have repeated such legends. In a recent one by an American writer, for example, it is asserted that Lord Byron was 'quite a good astrologer, who set up his own son's chart and quite accurately predicted the main events of the latter's life.' This would be a more convincing statement if Byron had ever had a son, or if there was the faintest evidence anywhere in his life or letters that he was even slightly interested in astrology.
Astrology in India
Rigveda manuscript in Devanagari, early 19th centuryIndian astrology is vedic in origin and has been part of Hindu teachings for thousands of years.[7] The earliest known Indian astrological textbook was probably written in about 3,000 BC. Later on, the Aryans brought with them Babylonian ideas to India, and the great Hindu texts of around 1000BC called the Vedas have astrological references, as well as the idea of Catasterism - souls rising into the sky to become stars. The tradition of Hellenistic astrology was passed to India sometime around the 1st century CE, probably along with the Greek invasions of Alexander the Great, where it was merged with the preexisting tradition of Babylonian astrology and the indigenous lunar astrology of the Nakshatras to form the present vast tradition of Indian astrology.

OK...well....You are right that our fate and astrology terms are linked with our birth. But do you remember the birth of Lord Buddha? He was seen by an astrologer and he said, if this boy was safe for 15 years without seeing the outer world, he would become a great ruler and if he sees, he would become a great saint. Here the astrology was conditional...isn't it? And someone says that our future is in our hands and we can change it by hard work. Here also it seems to be conditional because, they said that if we do hard work, our future could be changed otherwise no. But I will say that you please leave those instructions given by that astrologer, if it seems to you that he was a fake one. Take your sister to a famous astrologer who can tell truth and ask him this question. Perhaps he may give you the correct answer. Or else respect your sister's feelings and marry her with the person she wants to marry. I would like to say one thing... there are so many fake astrologers in our country. Consult a better astrologer as said previously and clarify all your doubts. May God bless you and your (my) sister. I'll pray for you....

Astrology is true. It is not a humbug. Rather we can call it as astronomy. We had many genious in astrology in our ancient India. According to that every human has the influence of the stars or 9 grahas in his life. But only Hindus believe in this. Christians, Muslims are all human only.
What I mean to say is the way astrology is handled today. Nobody can judge anyone's life. If that happens he must be GOD. There is nothing possible beyond GOD.
No one can predict one's death and decide anything. Only God.
I feel the same is in your case too. Instead of asking an astrologer I feel it is important to ask your sister about the marraige.

Dear, If u study ur question u will find that u have already given ans. to the Ques. Yes u r absolutly right that Our Life happenings are already fixed by someone in sky . Some wrong people have spoiled the name of astrology. I never said that the person who meet your sister is wrong, I don't know he can be wrong or right. THe thing is that we always want to listen somthing good about us . Just think if that astrologer say ur sister that her life is perfect in every aspects than u never feel the need to rise any Ques. about that person . So, just do what ever u like. Live every thing on GOD ur life will become perfect

You are right to some extent.
Nothing can be predicted or foreseen.
the story of a elder sister ,you mentioned ,whatever the astrologer said was bogus.
because o the ignorance of the people,such people cheat the public.
Born in a rich or poor family ,colour of the skin,eyes,gene related matters of health ,blood group etc are decided by birth and nothing more.
The future depends upon other factors like intelligence ,hard work ,opportunities etc.
BEWARE OF ASTROLOGERS OR ANY SUCH PEOPLE>
OUR GREAT NATIONAL POET SUBRAMANIA BHARATHI SAID, IGNORE the astrology etc.

What your astrologer meant was that there were problems in happiness from husband. But he must not have been sure about the exact degree of affliction. So, to minimise bad affects he told you this remedy.
This does not imply that astrology is conditional. While broader areas are predetermined we do have freedom of choice regarding what we do or how we behave in those circumstances. For example consider your life as a train journey. The stations it passes are fixed but you have freedom to do as you wish inside the compartment. This can make your journey happy or unhappy depending on how you choose to behave.

I believe that No one in this world know the future even cant no one tell abt next moment.otherwise to tell others future why they cant make their future bright. they can remove obstacles form their life.
yes astrology is study to read about planets and all. but believe what you do in a day . if u did wrong to someone ...u will face punishment and if u did very gud to some one ..u wll get reward.
like if u got lottery of 1 crore so u may say its by luck, but actually may u some help to make 10 lakhs even unknowingly so will get reward. so u say its luck . Luck is some what balance sheet of ur actions doing in a day.
Do good to get good.

Study astrology as an interesting subject. but don't believe in it . If one's fate could be predicted, none of our national leaders would have been assasinated. e.g. Mahtma gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi. even Lord Rama did not know that he would be exiled next morning when he was getting ready to be crowned.
No one in this world knows what is going to happen. 'Que sera sera' what ever will be will be, the future no eyes to see.
