What is Astrology?
What is astrology? Astrology is a unique way to look at the world around us and how we interact with it. It is a concept of observation and prediction that has developed over thousands of years.
What is astrology? It is a process that gives people an insightful way of looking at situations in your life whether good or bad. Astrology is not a new theory. It is older than even modern science. How so? Its origins come from the simple act of observance. The more people observed, the more they recognized there was a relationship between the date of birth, the position of celestial bodies and the ultimate traits of people and how they interact with life.
Astrology boils down to readings when it comes to providing insight and guidance. Whether horoscopes or live readings, the recitations come down to three influences above all. These are the sign of the individual, the house they are born after and the aspects present. The ultimate reading then depends on the play of these three.
So, what are the signs of astrology? There are 12 of them. They represent 12 distinct time periods during the calendar year. The specific signs are:
- Aries: March 21 - April 19
- Taurus: April 20 - May 20
- Gemini: May 21 - June 21
- Cancer: June 22 - July 22
- Leo: July 23 - August 22
- Virgo: August 23 - September 22
- Libra: September 23 - October 22
- Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
- Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
- Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
- Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
- Pisces: February 19 - March 20
So, how about the houses of astrology? Look at the sky above you. It forms a circle above you. A circle is represented mathematically as 360 degrees. There are 12 houses in astrology. Each house represents 30 degrees of the sky and influences the ultimate reading along with the signs and aspect.
Aspects are one of the more confusing areas of astrology for people to understand. Aspects are the angle and position of the planets to the point of reference in the reading. Signs and houses remain the same, but planets move about. For the purpose of astrology readings, planets include moving bodies such as the traditional planets, but also include the moon and the sun. A planet “rules” a particular sign such as Jupiter ruling Sagittarius.
The issue of aspects can be very confusing. An easier way to think of them is to consider the planet as a source of energy. The sign shows how the energy is manifested in a person’s personality. The house shows where the energy will manifest. The aspect shows how the persons under each sign will interact with each other. This is where compatibility charts come from.
What is astrology? It is a basis for finding guidance on specific situations, personality matches, love prospects and life solutions. For much of history, it has been the dominant source of finding meaning and solutions for much of mankind.
