The Science Of Astrology

Astrology is actually based on the relationship that is perceived to exist between the stellar bodies and our planet earth. Primarily it is concerned with the stellar bodies that can be found in our solar system. This would include the sun, the moon, asteroids, and comets, and in some instances the fixed stellar bodies that are outside of our solar system.

The majority of people are familiar with sun sign astrology. This is of course the type that is connected with the sign of the sun under which you were born It is a very simple form, and the majority of astrologist will tell you that while this form is amusing and often fairly accurate in describing the personality traits of some individuals, it is actually a type of astrology that produces results that are limited at best.

In order for an astrologist to give you readings that is very accurate and detailed they not only need to know when you were born, they need to know what sign the different planets were in at the exact time of your birth. The planets and the signs they were in at this time are combined with other elements like the houses and the angles so that the individual may be given such detailed information as their future prospects.

There is not just one basic form of astrology that is used and applied by all people. Different cultures have different versions of this belief. In the western hemisphere alone the different types of astrology are very diverse in the methods in which they are applied and the philosophies in which they teach.

Some of the differences are the fact that the philosophy of the version is based on the end result the person wants to achieve with the knowledge. When a person is looking at all of the stellar alignments to make predictions that are relevant to the affairs of the world, and the economies of the world, this is known as Mundane Astrology.

When the predictions the person is making has to do with the specifics and analysis about the objectives of a particular person's life or the events they are likely to have in their life it is known as Interrogatory Astrology.

The common type that most people think of when they hear the term is the Natal Astrology that has to do with the sun sign you were born under. The philosophy of this type of astrological readings is often referred to as the Law of the Beginnings. This is because the principle philosophy is based on the belief that all things that are going to happen to a person are connected to the very moment in time when they entered into the world.
