Astrology

Astrology is a belief system that suggests a relationship between the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets and stars—and events that occur on Earth, particularly human life and personality traits. Practitioners, known as astrologers, create horoscopes based on the positions of these celestial bodies at the time of an individual’s birth. Astrology encompasses various systems and traditions, including Western astrology, Vedic astrology (Jyotish), and Chinese astrology, each with its own methods and interpretations. In astrology, it is believed that the alignment of celestial bodies can influence or reflect individual characteristics, behaviors, and life events. While astrology has roots in ancient civilizations and has been practiced in various forms for centuries, it is often viewed critically within the scientific community, as there is insufficient empirical evidence to support its claims. Nonetheless, it continues to be popular in contemporary culture, with many individuals consulting astrological readings for guidance or self-reflection.
