What Is Astrology?

Astrology is a symbolic language. The word is derived from the Greek words ‘astron meaning star’ and ‘logos meaning word’. In simple words, astrology is the language of the stars.

Astrology is based on the Law of the Macrocosm and the Microcosm. Macrocosm is the universe symbolized by the sky that we see from the earth. Microcosm is represented by men, women and every other individual on planet earth. According to astrology, we are all a part of the universe. The terrestrial energies and the pattern of movement of the stars, planets, sun and the moon, affect our working and behavior.

The Birth Chart

Reading the birth chart of an individual can reveal a lot of things about him. This is what astrology is all about – a wonderful feeling to know what is unknown to everyone else. The awareness that one gains through astrology helps him understand his innate traits.

What’s more, astrology horoscopes help people achieve a spiritual and cosmic viewpoint of their lives. It makes people understand that there is a purpose to their life (to do something purposeful under the heavens - as written in the Bible).

The birth chart is what is more commonly known as the horoscope. It is a map of the heavens recording the precise time and place of birth. The symbolization here is simplified by including only the sun, moon and the planets in the horoscope. However, other movement and position of the stars can also be included if desired.

Horoscopes are based on the principle that whoever is born at a particular moment of time would possess the qualities specific to that moment only. So a horoscope basically provides the astrological portrait of an individual through a symbolic representation. This representation helps to understand the human psyche and the potential of the person whose horoscope is being studied.
