Is your horoscope correct?

My friend who is an astrologer told me this story.I am giving the story in his own words.I live in a locality since last ten years.When I shifted from my past residence to this place,I was among the first few residents of that place.There was a very small temple in that locality and a very young pandit of that temple.There was only one statue of Hanumanji in that temple.Pandit was working as a worker in some nearby factory.He used to come to the temple according to need of the people.Gradually people started coming in and living there.Not everybody was the devotee of Hanumanji so temple started growing in size and in number of Gods ,Durga devi ,Shiv ji , Santoshi ma,Sai baba and so on.Pandit left his job and became full time pandit and started growing in size with temple. I often go to the temple and sit there for some time for my pooja.Now I see people coming to the temple and touching that pandit's feet .They ask all type of questions to that pandit all type of astrological enquiry marriage muhurat,match making,health problems,family problems etc.When I am sitting there I feel like laughing hearing his answers.They will do according to his advice.He makes horoscopes of new born babies and people will keep those horoscopes with them as a very important document.They will use the horoscope through out their lives.They will reject marriage proposal based on that,they will fight bride/groom 's family for muhurat,they will take important decisions of their lives based on that.
There are two options you either believe in astrology or do not believe but what is this?If you believe in astrology then why don't you believe in correctness of horoscope.If you are educated you never go to a quack for your medical problems.You don't show your friend's X ray to a doctor because he has same symptoms as you have. If you think astrology is a science based on pure mathematical calculations ( I am talking about astrology and not other related branches).Do justice to astrology also.Like in medical science you don't get cure and correct diagnosis 100% of times, astrology can also be true guidance seventy percent of times
