Astrology is without a doubt one of the most popular of the occult sciences in the world today. Think I'm kidding? All you have to do is open your front door, pick up the daily newspaper, open it up to the leisure section and there you will find your daily horoscope. In addition to newspapers, you'll also find this information in magazines, online, on the television and just about anywhere you go. In this article, we're going to cover the basics of astrology, as a comprehensive overview is way beyond the scope of any one article. Hopefully, after reading this, you'll have a pretty good idea if this is something that you want to get into. It is a most fascinating occult science.
The basis of Astrology stems from the planets in our solar system, as well as our own son. When we're born, these planets are all in a certain position. This is what determines our astrological sign at the time of our birth.. The sun and the planets all govern a different area of our lives.. This all goes back to Greek Mythology, as the Greek Gods all ruled different planets.
While the basics of astrology are actually very simple, putting together an astrological chart is not so easy. See, not only is your astrological chart based upon where the sun and the planets were at the time of your birth, but it is also determined by the actual spot on Earth where you were born. So two people born on the same day can have two completely different astrological charts. That's why astrology can get so complex.
Putting together the chart, however, is only half the battle. Once the chart is put together, there is the matter of interpreting the chart. This is further complicated by the fact that a person's chart actually changes over time because the position of the planets change over time. That is why we as human beings change over time and why many people can start out their lives as hardened criminals and end up going on to become men of God. The planets can play strange tricks on us as we go on.
Astrology readings are not just about predicting the future. They also tell us a lot about a person's character and what they're interests are. This information comes from the various houses of the Zodiac, which can take a literal lifetime to study.
As someone who has studied astrology for over 20 years now, I have never found the study to be dull. I have personally evolved so much over the 49 years that I have been on this planet, and there is no question that the planets have played a major role in my own development as a person.
