In 2020, as the world reeled from the pandemic, Master Divya Rat Kashyap, who had predicted the global turmoil, released his book, "Ancient Indian Astrology Deciphers Your Fortune: Master Divya Rat Kashyap's Rashi Fortune-Telling." This simple form of divination promises to be a useful guide for daily life.

The phrase "foresight" is one we hear often. What does it truly mean to see ahead? When asked if I possess such a gift, I can only answer that I don't know.

While not necessarily foresight, "fortune-telling" certainly exists as a means of looking ahead, and its power undeniably influences people. As a magazine editor, I encountered various forms of divination. Among them were genuine practices and outright frauds. The fakes eventually faded, but the authentic ones endured.

Fortune-telling often addresses broad currents—be it in life or in global affairs—and I find it remarkably accurate. It's why I'm sometimes astonished by its insights. I recall hearing that the Western astrologer Ryuji Kagami accurately predicted the Great East Japan Earthquake in his readings for that year. I consider this a testament to the power of divination. In some countries, I understand it's even recognized as an academic discipline.

The book I'm introducing today is one published by our own PLEASE, "Ancient Indian Astrology Deciphers Your Fortune: Master Divya Rat Kashyap's Rashi Fortune-Telling." I apologize for the self-promotion.

Indian astrology is considered world-class, and it's said that Western astrology itself was developed based on Indian traditions. Furthermore, in India, astrology is sometimes referred to as "future prediction art" and is deeply intertwined with politics and economics.

Master Kashyap advises Indian politicians and business figures, and I've heard that people flock to him from overseas, drawn by rumors of his accuracy.

Sometimes, there's a certain inevitability within coincidence. I'm convinced that my encounter with Master Kashyap was one such instance. Late in March, during another meeting, the other party expressed an interest in fortune-telling.

It turned out Master Kashyap was the catalyst, and I was introduced to his son (who is Indian). We quickly agreed to proceed, and the decision to publish was made.

The project became engrossing. Amidst the self-imposed isolation of the pandemic, I found myself seated at my desk, immersed in days of reflection and writing (or rather, the writing and editing process itself felt like a form of self-isolation). The Rashi fortune-telling book finally saw the light of day in late June.

During that time, I kept asking his son, "Did your father predict anything about the coronavirus last year?" He would deflect, saying, "I think he probably knew, but I'm not sure." However, just recently, the information emerged.

In a local Indian newspaper last November, the Master had made his predictions for 2020, and there, a startling revelation was made.

He wrote: "India must exercise extreme caution in its policies towards China. China is expected to be preoccupied with handling some dangerous substance, which will require global vigilance. [...] Governments worldwide will face new challenges. Public health will become a major issue. A situation akin to an epidemic will arise, and government agencies will bear a significant burden in addressing it throughout 2020."

While the word "coronavirus" wasn't explicitly mentioned, it's hard to imagine he wasn't referring to it, isn't it?

This book, "Ancient Indian Astrology Deciphers Your Fortune: Master Divya Rat Kashyap's Rashi Fortune-Telling," allows anyone to easily enjoy the divinations of Master Kashyap.

It's a method that uses initials (first name) and is simple for anyone to try, yet it possesses remarkable depth. It delves into basic personality traits, forecasts for the current half-year, and analyzes the movements of celestial bodies like the sun to predict fortunes. Notably, it highlights specific auspicious days.

The book meticulously lists days to be cautious of accidents, days when romantic luck will improve, and days favorable for work and finances. I've found it incredibly useful myself.

While the timing might seem unfortunate now due to the pandemic, it's sure to be a popular item at parties and social gatherings! It's renowned for its accuracy. We highly recommend it.
