What is Astrology?

At its simplest, astrology is the study of the relationship between planets and celestial objects and human affairs.Through elaborate systems formatted in a way people can understand, astrology interprets these relationships in order to provide a meaningful and enlightening insight into the human world.

As you discover more about astrology, it becomes clear how a study of charts showing the relative positions of the sun, moon, and other planetary objects and the signs of the Zodiac at a specific time, typically the time of birth, creates what we know as an astrology horoscope.

Zodiac astrology has ancient roots, dating back to around 500 B.C. Charts plotting an imaginary sphere surrounding the earth, which followed the path of the Sun through the constellations during the year, were developed into meaningful guides. These horoscopes, associated with birth dates, are now popular in many cultures and help individuals all over the world withtheir day-to-day lives.
