Trending: Internet slams astrologer for her ‘prediction’ of a plane crash

The astrologer apparently predicted a plane crash a week before the Air India plane crash.

On June 5, an astrologer had predicted aviation expansion and potential “destruction” in the industry, a week before the tragic Air India plane crash happened. Sharmishtha, who identifies as an astrology practitioner, took to X on Thursday to express sorrow over the crash. Netizens have now slammed her for her ‘prediction’ of the crash.

Vedic astrologer receives flak from the internet for her past ‘prediction.’

Sharmishtha sparked outrage online after resurfacing old tweets that “predicted” an aviation disaster after the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad that claimed over 200 lives. She took to X on Thursday to express grief over the crash. However, she also appeared to link the incident to her previous astrological forecasts. She wrote, “It is very unfortunate that we lost so many lives in the Air India crash in Ahmedabad today,” she posted. “Jupiter is yet to enter Ardra, and India’s Mars Mahadasha is yet to begin, yet so much has already started… I’m unable to reply to everyone. Apologies for that. Om Shanti.” Her earlier posts from December 2024 said, “Aviation sector will do better in 2025, also plane crash headlines may give us shock… When Jupiter will be in Gemini part of Mrigashira & Ardra… safety and security will be missing.” One more post from June 5 references predictions of aviation expansion and potential “destruction” in the industry.

Netizens react to the viral post.

One user wrote, “With due respect, people have lost their lives in a tragic plane crash, and you’re using it to make astrological predictions? This is not the time for celestial commentary, it’s a time for empathy, accountability, and action.” Another wrote, “Did you predict the AI171 crash based on planets? So, all 250 victims had the same kundli and planetary placements? Astrology isn’t destiny, it’s a distraction.” A third user remarked, “Another lady astrologer marketing a business from a tragic incident.”
