Astrology

Astrology is a belief system that suggests a relationship between the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, and events and characteristics on Earth, particularly concerning human affairs. Practitioners of astrology, known as astrologers, create horoscopes that interpret how these celestial configurations can influence individuals’ personalities, relationships, and life events.

Astrology is based on the idea that the alignment of celestial bodies at the time of a person’s birth can affect their life and personality traits. The most common form of astrology in Western culture involves the zodiac, which divides the sky into twelve signs, each associated with specific characteristics and tendencies. Different branches of astrology, such as natal astrology, horary astrology, and electional astrology, focus on various aspects of time, space, and human experience.

While astrology is regarded as a pseudoscience by the scientific community, it has been practiced for thousands of years across different cultures, including Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, and Indian traditions. Astrology remains popular today, often used for personal insight, entertainment, and guidance in decision-making.
