Astrology

Astrology is the belief system that suggests a relationship between the positions and movements of celestial bodies (such as planets and stars) and events on Earth, particularly human life and personality traits. It posits that the alignment of these celestial bodies at the time of one’s birth can influence an individual’s character, behavior, and fate. Astrologers interpret charts, known as natal or birth charts, which represent the positions of the sun, moon, and planets at a specific time and place. Astrology encompasses various systems and traditions, including Western astrology, Vedic or Indian astrology, and Chinese astrology, each with its own methods and interpretations. The practice includes creating horoscopes, which are predictions based on astrological calculations. While astrology has been a popular cultural practice throughout history, it is often criticized by the scientific community due to a lack of empirical evidence supporting its claims. Despite this, astrology continues to attract interest and is widely practiced in various forms around the world.
