With a good astrologer. He read people's life and deepest secrets, unknown to anyone in this world, like an open book. This has been repeated by him for several friends of mine, who have consulted with him. The only way to test is to ask for predictions on what would have happened on the past. Because past is certain and unchangeable. This is a test for non believers on whether astrology can actually predict anything or not. For the future, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. keep the predictions handy, and map back to whats happening in your life v/s what had been predicted for that time period in the past.

However, the periodic influences (dasha – antardasha) readings will always remain the same.

How can one establish that there are such influences and that they can be measured or interpreted in such a way that they consistently tell us anything about anything?

For example, if for a particular time period, astrology states is not favorable for one’s personal relationships, it means:

However, the periodic influences (dasha - antardasha) readings will always remain the same. Astrology is not a magic art that tells you what will happen when. For me it is a science that makes one aware of the influences that impact our life. For example, if for a particular time period, astrology states is not favorable for one's personal relationships, it means: The efforts spent in personal relationships may not bear fruit proportionate to the efforts one put in it. This however does not mean that you do not have a choice. Its your choice, if you would like to swim against the current, and pursue personal relationships. Equally your choice, if you would like to take advantage of the current and focus on other things, like one's professional life. Have a nice day.

No test of astrology's effectiveness I've ever seen has established either a) it's ability to double blind match readings or predictions to people b) that different astrology readings are even consistent with each other.
