Astrology

Astrology is a belief system that posits a relationship between the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets and stars—and events or characteristics in human life. Practitioners, known as astrologers, interpret the influences of these celestial bodies on individual personalities, behaviors, and life events, often creating horoscopes based on the specific time and location of a person’s birth. Astrology combines elements of astronomy, mythology, and psychology, and has roots in various ancient cultures. It is typically divided into several branches, including natal astrology (which focuses on individual birth charts), horary astrology (which answers specific questions based on celestial positions), and mundane astrology (which analyzes world events). Although astrology is widely regarded as a pseudoscience by the scientific community, it continues to be popular and influences many people’s beliefs and practices regarding fate, identity, and personal guidance.
