It has been estimated that approximately 75% of the population in the world today, follow astrology and listens to what it has to say. Since the ancient ages, humans have looked to the heavens for guidance. Astrology is nothing but the study of the correlation between the positions and the movements of the planets, the stars and other celestial bodies and events on earth. It is the firm belief of the astrologers that the placement and the movements of the heavenly bodies - the Sun, Moon, and the nine planets of the galaxy, at the time of birth of an individual have a direct influence on his/her character.
A person's desires and destiny, his fate and fortune, his success and failures are said to be affected by the planetary positions and movements. However, the faith and belief in astrology and astrological sayings is experiencing a rising trend since the recent past. Horoscope reading and astrology are affecting people from all walks of life in their daily lifestyle.
A study of the past reveals that astrology came into being with the advent of civilization. It was the result of combining the ancient practice of observing the night sky with a magical view. The Babylonians were however the first to introduce the concept of astrology which was further supported Greeks.
Astrology can be used as a powerful and fun tool for understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us. One can avail the services of astrology in different forms as well as in different fields in routine life. For example, it is of great use for managing health, business, and stability in business/professional career, enjoying marital life, solving problems of children, understanding your strength, aptitude, weakness as well as the favorable and unfavorable time frames during a particular period.
People use astrology in many different ways, from investing in the stock market, making business decisions, to analyzing political situations and social movements. The applications of astrology are almost endless. Thus, astrology, to some extent can definitely help people, make their lives better.
For example if you are impatient or temperamental, then you may monitor yourself and exercise control over yourself. Majority of your problems can be solved if you are able to exercise patience in your day-to-day life. However this is just an example and is not applicable to each and every person. Each person is governed by the planetary placement at the time of his/her birth and it through the astrological birth chart reading that a person's future can be predicted.
A Case Study A girl child was born at 4.38am on 10th October 1960, in a place situated 30miles west of Madras. On a general survey of her birth chart, it was found that the second house is tenanted by its owner Venus along with Mercury. Venus and Mercury are not spoiled by conjunction of any of the natural malefics. Nor are they malifically affected. Saturn is neither in a bestial sign nor in a watery sign. There is no malefic aspect from Saturn to Mercury and Venus. In the face of all these indications, can one have any shadow of doubt regarding the girl's speaking power? Yes, and the truth however, is that the girl's speaking power is very defective and she is almost dumb.
Thus no body can stop the rain from falling but one can carry an umbrella. The above case clearly indicates the utility of the divine science astrology in our day-to-day life. In brief one can improve his/her life style by utilizing the services this science in a proper way.
Astrology, as a science, is based on astronomy. Astrology's system is a mental construct built around the stars and their positions to one another. It's all about finding connections between the human level and the universal level, between what I do and how I act, as a human being, and how the stars were aligned at the time of my birth.
Astrology was born at the same time with the human capacity of reasoning, though it didn't have all the attributes of a real scientific concern. It was just a set of approximations about the meanings of certain aspects in people's everyday life. We could say that the most important idea of astrology is the fact that you cannot find two identical persons in this world, no matter how much you try.
Starting with the Babylonians, successive generations of astrologists made a real science out of astrology, as they moved its foundations in the observation, research and verification area. The experience they gained in time is truly valuable even now, and the interpretations are very precise, based on mathematical and physical knowledge. The astrologist's purpose is in fact to be able to predict future events in a man's life, based on the date and year of his birth. It's an interpretation that gives full credit to the position of the planets and the stars, as the map of the universe at a certain moment in time is reflected in the destiny of the man who was born at that moment. The stars of our solar system intervene in our life and our personality, shaping each one of us in a unique manner.
The zodiac is the astrology's fruit, seen by many as being unworthy of any credit, but by far more people as a great tool in predicting the future. There are many types of zodiacs, according to the variation of cultures and geography: the Chinese zodiac, the western (European) zodiac, the Aztec zodiac, the Indian zodiac, the floral zodiac and so on. A man's sign in the zodiac is a representation of the solar position in the moment of that person's birth. The characteristics given by the solar sign are not innate, but they describe an unconscious goal, a permanent tendency in one's actions, feelings and interactions.
The horoscope is a combination between the zodiac signs and the structures of the cosmic map in a certain moment in time. Therefore, we can talk about daily horoscopes, weekly horoscopes and monthly horoscopes according to what we choose as a temporal reference. One of the most popular is the love horoscope, the one from which you can find out what your emotional life will look like, if either you will meet someone or not, how your relationship will evolve, and many other things. Basically, there is at least one answer for every question. There are thousands of free horoscopes and, thus, free love horoscopes too, from where you can find out what the future will bring you.
Real astrology is a science, a great opportunity for everyone who is seeking for great knowledge and for everyone who wants to understand the universal order that gives sense and substance to every particle in this world.
