Astrology is an ancient science that studies the relationships between celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, and human life and events on Earth. It is based on the belief that the positions of celestial bodies at the time of a person’s birth can influence their personality, emotions, and life path.
At the core of astrology is the natal chart, also known as a birth chart. This chart is a map of where the planets were located at the exact moment of an individual’s birth. It includes the sun sign, moon sign, and rising sign (ascendant). The sun sign represents core personality traits, the moon sign reflects emotional responses, and the rising sign indicates how individuals present themselves to the world.
Astrology is divided into various branches, including:
- Natal Astrology: This focuses on individual birth charts.
- Mundane Astrology: This analyzes world events.
- Horary Astrology: This answers specific questions based on celestial positions.
The study of the twelve zodiac signs is essential in astrology, with each sign associated with specific personality traits and elemental energies (fire, earth, air, water). Additionally, aspects—angular relationships between planets—are analyzed to understand challenges and opportunities in a person’s life.
Many people turn to astrology for guidance, self-discovery, and insight into relationships. By understanding their astrological profiles, individuals can gain deeper awareness of themselves and their life journeys, empowering them to navigate challenges and make informed decisions. Whether approached as a spiritual practice or a psychological tool, astrology continues to captivate and inspire those seeking a deeper connection with the cosmos
