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 of astrology use the positions of these celestial entities at the time of a person’s birth to create a natal chart, which is said to provide insights into the individual’s personality, behavior, and potential life events. Astrology encompasses various traditions and practices, including Western astrology, Vedic astrology, and Chinese astrology, each with its own methods and interpretations. It is often considered a form of divination, with many adherents believing that the alignment of celestial bodies can influence daily life and future developments. Astrology is distinct from astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena. While astrology has historical significance and cultural relevance in various societies, it lacks empirical support and is considered a pseudoscience by the scientific community.
