Astrology And Horoscopes

Most astrological traditions are based on the relative movements and positions of celestial bodies and the construction of calculated or perceived celestial patterns related to the location and time of an event.

A frame of reference for the positions of astrological planets, stars, lunar nodes, etc. it is defined through the tropical zodiac that contains twelve signs, as well as the local horizon (descending, median axis of the sky and ascending). Twelve astrological houses define the local framework and the astrological aspects determine the angular or geometric relationship between the celestial bodies and the angles contained in the horoscope.

In the Western tradition, predictive astrology uses two main methods, namely transits and astrological progressions. In the astrological transit, the meaning of the movements of the planets through space is interpreted. In astrological progression, the horoscope advances in time according to established methods.

In the past, celestial objects were closely observed and their movements recorded. Modern astrologers transform the data provided by astronomers into sets of tables. These show the changing positions of the celestial bodies within the zodiac over time.

Many traditions share features that are similar, due to the transmission of various beliefs and doctrines between carrier cultures. Others, having developed in isolation, may share some of the characteristics but are based on very different doctrines. As a general rule, modern astrologers tend to follow the Chinese, Hindu, or Western tradition, or a combination of some or all of them.

In the 20th century, contact between traditions has become easier and therefore closer, and some have taken advantage of theirs by allowing Western astrology to diversify in many ways. Among some, much of the recent tradition has given way to other approaches, such as an approach from a psychological angle or a greater emphasis on midpoints. Others may now include astrology based on points or stars, as well as constellations. Throughout history, many changes and developments have occurred, and many traditions are no longer used. However, quite a few of them, particularly Babylonian, Arabic, Persian, Egyptian, Hellenistic (classical antiquity), Hindu, and Mayan astrologies, are still considered a point of interest, as well as important and useful resources to many.

Today, most Western astrologers tend to focus on general developments and trends, rather than forecasting actual events. They can use their abilities to help and advise a person by giving insight into a particular situation, the people involved, and the general direction the situation is heading in. Personal birth charts give insight into a person’s likely character traits and the best possible matches in both career choice and relationships.

Although it has never been scientifically proven, it has been used and valued as an effective orientation tool in many cultures and among millions of people for many thousands of years. Changes and new developments may have occurred over time, as is the case with all things, but it is still as useful and reliable a source of information and knowledge as it was a thousand years ago.
