Anyone Good at Vedic Astrology?

I have been studying Vedic Astrology for more than a year.
I started out a believer to give it a fair shot and it worked wonders. It was giving me so many answers to my problems and explaining why I am the way I am through my birth chart.

But somewhere along the lines I realized that since every placement has so many different predictions it'd be almost impossible for your chart to not relate to your life in some way no matter what.

I have a debilitated SUN which explained a lot of my personality as I grew up. But I realized that I also had many moments of confidence and personal strength which would oppose the Sun being debilitated; but because that's what I saw in the chart, I started associating only those experiences and recalling only those memories. If it was exalted I would still relate to it. If it was in any of the other 10 signs I would still relate to it somehow.
 

At some point I realized that the Chart has trapped me into being a particular type of person. Vedic Astrology didn't help me break free of my shortcomings but trap me further. It just seems like a very elaborate system to justify circumstances.

But here's the thing, I see the value in it as being a deep categorization of the different archetypes and energy templates of human societal reality. It's a great way to think about and create new characters in a fictional setting by plopping down planets in various houses and interpreting how they would interact with each other if this were the birth chart of the character. 
It's also great in understand how archetypes interact with each other and also in different aspect of lives. Such as the Sun and Saturn axis and how that same archetype plays into so many different levels of our world.

However at the end of the day, I come out thinking that Vedic Astrology as a means to analyze the life of a person is meaningless and counterproductive. Not only that, birth charts probably don't even tell you anything about the life of the native. I can understand planets affecting the world currently but how does that translate over to: "The planets were in an unlucky position when you were born so you're gonna be unfortunate most of your life".

Moreover, no matter what I say, it has a counter for it. "Your sun is debilitated but you're still confident in yourself? Well it must be in a good placement in D9 or it must be neechbhanga". "Your Mars is strong but your body is weak? Well the mars must have given you a strong character!" Yeah, and if my body was strong you'd have attributed it to the strong mars, but not when my body is weak. 

There's always a counter because there are always multiple predictions for any given placement. 

Now,
Having said all that, there's an astrologer called Abhigya Anand who used this very same practice to predict the pandemic in 2020 and also the Bangladesh stuff before it happened. You can find his videos on youtube.
Stuff like this really makes me wonder whats true and whats not. Maybe I am missing something.
If somebody here is highly experienced in this field it'd be a huge favor if your could clear my doubts.

I am open to astrology being real, I have been for many years, but I need proper logic behind why and how it works.
I would also like thoughts from the rest of you too as to what you think about this stuff.

I have invested sometime in learning astrology, both vedic and south Indian. I was in astrology paradigm for few years. But then I realised, its conformity, hearsay and beliefs
