Astrology is a branch of science that deals with celestial bodies. It is considered a pseudoscience though. It involves studying celestial cycles to give predictions or guidance to man or events relating to the earth. The Maya, Chinese, and Hindu observe celestial movements and from this, they forecast shifts in seasons and other earthly events.

The fundamental objective of astrology was to let a person know about how his or her life would go based on celestial movement and positioning of the planets and astrological constellations at the time of a person’s birth. There also a thing called interrogatory astrology, which answers a person’s inquiries concerning the state of the heavenly bodies during the time of inquiry. Astrology is also applied to medicine and it is called iatromathematics. There are many more variants of astrology and these are just a few of them.

When talking about astrology, what comes into the mind of commoners are horoscopes and zodiac signs. The Millennial and young ones are the most interested when it comes to zodiac signs and horoscopes because it is appropriate for the internet era. Astrologers break down the massive ideas into ingestible chunks of information, which makes them appealing.

Astrology articulates multifarious concepts about relationships, persona, and cycles of an individual’s life based on the zodiac symbols and planetary positions. Many times, people resort to astrologers to ease their stresses or anxieties, trying to find answers about the direction of their lives.

Today’s generation is more attracted to astrology because they are the most stressed, considering the amount of nerve-wracking news they encounter from day to day, and somehow, astrology gives them comfort and relief. But even if the interest in astrology is escalating, it doesn’t follow that people are no longer fans of levelheadedness and reasonableness.

Yes, they are comforted by astrology, but they still do not necessarily believe it entirely as a basis for their lives. They turn the newspaper to the area of the horoscope or search the internet about what their stars say about them, but they do not alter their conduct based on what they read. It is like, they do not treat astrology as a joke, but it doesn’t mean they gravely have faith in it.

Now, about zodiac signs, there are 12 of them, and they are different when it comes to traits, character, aspirations, advantages, and disadvantages. Through analysis of the celestial movement and positioning of the planets and astrological constellations at the time of a person’s birth, astrology provides a foretaste of an individual’s basic traits, frights, weaknesses, and inclinations. The 12 zodiac signs are categorized into four elements, which symbolize the basic type of energy that works within you.

Through astrology, you can concentrate on the energy to discover your propensity and affirmative characteristics and manage the negative characteristics. Knowing where your zodiac belongs in the four elements will enlighten you about your distinct personality type. The elements display a deep impact on characteristics, feelings, conduct, and thoughts.

Now, if your birth month belongs to Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer, you are under the water signs. People who belong to these zodiacs are emotionally sensitive. They have strong instincts, secretive, and intimate, and supportive. Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries birth months belong to the fire signs. Like fire, they easily get infuriated, but they do not harbor grudges. They are zealous, energetic, and moody.

They are likely to draw attention and influence others. They are confident, intellectual, inventive, and principled. Birth months under Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus belong to the earth signs. Like the water signs, they are also emotionally sensitive.

They are humble (or down to earth), fundamentalists, sensible, reasonable, faithful, committed, and dependable. Lastly, we have the birth months under Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini, the air signs, who are logical people and love to socialize and build relationships. They are outgoing, but also logical thinkers who love to talk about topics that are up for debate. They love to go to gatherings, but also value “me-time” by indulging in books. They like to counsel others.
