Astrology is the study of the movements and the positions of all celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human lives. The word astrology comes from the Greek words: “Astron” which means constellation or star, and “Logia” which means study. So, astrology literally translates to “the science of the stars”.
Astrology is an ancient practice that seeks the meaning and implementation of the influences of the stars and the planets in our lives. Astrology can give us a better insight into all situations in life and if properly used, astrology can teach us how to improve our lives and relationships.
People who practice astrology are called astrologers. To find the cosmic influence on particular character, events and relationships, the astrologer must draw up a chart or a horoscope. This symbolic map of the heavens is like a picture of the cosmic influences on that specific place at that particular moment of a person’s birth. The astrologer’s job will be to interpret the meaning of these symbols in the chart and to use them as a key to the understanding of a person’s character, personality traits and future. So, a birth chart or an individual horoscope is basically a personal map that tracks the planetary influences at the exact moment of a person’s birth. Everything that happens in our life is already in our birth charts.
Many people believe that all the events and things on our planet Earth can be predicted by the energies symbolized in astrology.
