The Sun and the planets have the greatest and most immediate influence on the Earth's atmosphere and environment because the Earth is a part of the solar system.
Astrology is a combination of Science and Metaphysics. To make a map and erect a horoscope from the birth particulars is a scientific process requiring considerable expertise, skill and application.
The Zodiac consists of 360 degrees of an arc which is divided into 27 Constellations. We have also to judge the goods or evil relations of the planets with the constellations and their Lords. These Constellation Divisions come in handy while analyzing the results of transits of planets through these constellations. But the entire calculation is carried out on the basis of scientific principles and time tested theories
