Astrology,
a system based on the belief that events on Earth have
influences on the positions and movements of astronomical
bodies, particularly the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars
and it is one of the oldest known forms of study and
its continuous history can be traced back over 4,000
years.
Astrology is practiced world wide with certain differences
but generally Astrologers maintain that the position
of astronomical bodies at the exact moment of a person’s
birth and the subsequent movements of the bodies reflect
that person’s character and destiny of life. Astrologers
use charts known as horoscopes, which map the position
of astronomical bodies at certain times, and are based
on the signs of the Zodiac; these are Aries, Taurus,
Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius,
Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. |
Astrology
is known in India as Jyotish and was originally used
to fix the most auspicious dates for the performance
of religious rituals. Astrology remains an integral
part of religious and social life in India, particularly
in arranged marriages. However, it is used to time and
forecast events with greater precision than in the West,
and uses a star-based/ zodiac based on slightly different
coordinates.
Many Astrology portals are providing free astrological
services/ guidance according to individual needs and
situations. |
