What is Astrology and How Does it Work?

Astrology gives everyone a chance for self-inquiry. The importance of knowing who you are, or personal growth might be the most important thing you can do in your lifetime. Astrology is based on scientific calculations of constellations and planetary movements. The stars and planets are markers of time and allow us to understand what cycle a person is in when they are born. Astrology studies show how movements and positions of celestial bodies are patterns which can influence your life, your decisions and your future including your choice of partner.

The word “Astrology” comes from two Greek words: “Astron,” which means star, and “logia,” which means writing or study. When we say, “Astrological Signs,” we mean constellations — groups of stars in the sky.

In western astrology there are 12 zodiac signs, each with a different set of characteristics. The zodiac signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio Sagittarius, Capricorn Aquarius and Pisces.

What Are the Different Types of Astrology?

There are many different types of astrology that focus on different parts of life. Different astrological systems use the position of planets and other celestial bodies to make predictions about people’s personalities.

The main types of astrology are Vedic Astrology, Western Astrology, Chinese Astrology, and Horary Astrology. Vedic astrologers use the positions of the stars and planets to predict future events in your life. Western astrologers use horoscopes (daily predictions) to make predictions about your day-to-day life. Chinese astrologers believe that every person has a “sign” based on their birth year or month which influences their personality traits and characteristics. Horary astrologers use charts drawn up for specific questions. They will often use a chart for a particular question and then compare the chart to the chart of the same question from a different time. The most popular system is the Western astrological system, which divides these planets into 12 different signs that are based on constellations in the sky.

The zodiac is a system of astrology that divides the ecliptic into twelve signs, each 30 degrees apart. The signs are related to the constellations of the same name, with each sign corresponding to the intersection of two planes in space.

Aries people are energetic and enthusiastic. They always seem to be in a good mood, and they love being around others who share their enthusiasm for life.

Horoscope Compatibility

Matching your horoscope with your partner’s is important for a successful relationship. The most common way to determine if two horoscopes are compatible is by looking at the sun sign compatibility. Each sun sign has different characteristics, so it will be easier to understand your partner’s needs. For example, if you are a Taurus and your partner is a Virgo, then your relationship should work out well because you share in each other’s strengths. This factor applies to other relationships with work colleagues, friends and even family. Being related does not mean to say you will get on.
