Astrology is a belief system that suggests a connection between the positions and movements of celestial bodies (like planets and stars) and events or personality traits in human life. It has roots in various ancient cultures, including Babylonian, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations.
Astrology typically involves the creation of a natal chart, which is a map of where the planets were positioned at the exact time and place of a person’s birth. This chart is used to interpret personality traits, predict future events, and understand relationships. The twelve zodiac signs, which are divided into four elements (fire, earth, air, water), play a key role in astrology, with each sign associated with specific characteristics.
While astrology has many followers and can be a source of insight and guidance for some, it is important to note that it is not considered a science and lacks empirical evidence to support its claims. Skeptics argue that astrology is based on superstition and that any correlations between celestial events and human behavior are coincidental.
