Thus on numerous occasions Burma’s generals have been known to dress up in drag as pro-democracy advocate and elected leader of the country Aung San Suu Kyi. This has nothing to do with astrology, and also astrology can't tell you how much will you live nor predict your future, depending on what you understand by predict the future. Also , astrology is not related at all with numerology, yet if you're an idiot who read newspapers and watch tv, you'll think the opposite.
