Astrology

Astrology is a set of systems, traditions, and beliefs founded on the notion that the relative positions of celestial bodies can explain or predict fate, personality, human affairs, and other earthly matters. The relevant bodies are the sun, moon, and planets, and although astrology is commonly characterized as “reading the stars”, Western astrology is not actually based on the stars.As a craft, astrology is a combination of basic astronomy, mysticism, divination, and prophecy.

A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer. Some astrologers see astrology as a broadly symbolic language, one in which only general themes of life, love, and death are implicated; others see more direct and specific influences on human and mundane affairs. Some believe the planets control our fate directly, others that they influence us by determining our personalities.


Numerous traditions and applications employing astrological concepts have arisen since its earliest recorded beginnings in the 3rd millennium BC. Astrology has played an important role in the shaping of culture, early astronomy, and various disciplines throughout history. In fact, astrology and astronomy were often regarded as synonyms before the modern era, with the desire for predictive and divinatory knowledge one of the motivating factors for astronomical observation.
