Ans. : If you study astrology it will try to give some hints of existence almighty and it based on belief system. But I have seen it can predict events and things happening in one's life for which he/she is never able to find any reasoning. I was able to find logic behind why some people are successful with little effort while others spend whole struggling cursing the destiny in the end, why someone wins lottery and why someone looses everything to go on the streets. Regarding whether it can provide solutions, then I would say that what is written in destiny will happen but you may use astrology to minimize its bad effects to certain extent if you have faith and show belief. Usually I would only recommend astrology if one is going through hardship but not if things are going normal, though you can show belief to keep things normal :-) .
