What is Astrology?

Astrology is an ancient practice that uses the positions of stars and planets to interpret human behaviour and predict future events. It has been used for centuries to interpret events and shape decisions in many cultures and religions. Here we will explore the history of astrology, the different types of astrology, and how astrology is used today.

History of Astrology

Astrology is believed to have originated in ancient Babylon around 2500 BC. It was later adopted by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and then spread to other cultures. Astrology has been used to shape decisions in many cultures and religions, from predicting the weather to determining the best time to go to war.

Types of Astrology

There are many different types of astrology, including Western astrology, Chinese astrology, Vedic astrology, and more. Each type has its own system of interpreting the stars and planets, and how they influence the lives of people on Earth. Within each type, there are additional specialised astrology types, which focus on a particular way of working with astrology for a specific outcome. These include natal, horary, electional, mundane, medical and evolutionary to name just a few.

How Astrology is Used Today

Today, astrology is used for a variety of purposes, from predicting the future to helping people make decisions. It has become popular as a form of self-help and personal growth. Astrology is also used in many fields, such as marketing and business, to help understand customer behaviour.

Astrology Readings

Astrology readings are one of the most popular ways astrology is used today. People consult astrologers for guidance on relationships, career decisions, and other important life choices. Astrologers interpret the positions of the stars and planets to give insights into a person's life.

Astrology for Self-Understanding

Another way astrology is used today is for self-understanding. People use astrology to gain insight into their own personalities and learn more about themselves. Through astrology, people can gain a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, and how these things can affect their lives.

Astrology for Entertainment

Finally, astrology is also used for entertainment. Many people read their daily horoscope for fun or look up the zodiac sign of their favourite celebrity. Although this use of astrology is not as serious as the other two, it can still be a source of entertainment and amusement.
