Share, It's good to know the good and bad times for the year. During the bad times, one can postpone any important decisions or activities to avoid mistakes or disasters.
Aside from mundane predictions, there are also the various chakras, that Kalidasa mentioned in his book, "Uttara Kalamrita", which can be used for various purposes. For example, I used the Chariot chakra to purchase a new car in 2007. To date, the car has been excellent and has been trouble free.
