Your sentence has both a negative and a positive statement: He is not doing good things and he is doing bad things. If he applies his mind, he will come up with the wrong answers, because his chart indicates that this is the way his mind is going to work. It's very confusing, because we usually claim that if you apply your mind (properly), you will always come up with the right answer.

I don't see a bright side to this chart reading. It looks like all bad!
I too am a little confused by the wording of the sentence.

What if the situation is..?
Q: After having an argument with his boss, he said that he would quit his job asap.
Will he do as he said?
A: He is not applying his mind now and the astrology chart is indicating taking such wrong decisions.
I feel that between indicating and taking, there are words missing... That's why is sounds ambiguous to m

The formal solution would probably be ". . . . the chart is indicating that he is taking very wrong decisions."
But in casual or even technical use, "The chart is indicating X" can have any noun phrase as X.
The noun phrase would be the direct object of the present continuous verb "is indicating."
The chart is indicating (a condition).
The chart is indicating overloa
