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 and characteristics in human life. Proponents of astrology assert that the influence of these celestial bodies can be interpreted to provide insights into personality traits, behaviors, and potential future events. Astrology encompasses various systems, often centered around the zodiac, which divides the sky into twelve astrological signs, each associated with specific traits and tendencies.

Astrology has been practiced in various forms across cultures for thousands of years, with roots in ancient civilizations such as Babylonian, Egyptian, and Greek traditions. It typically involves the creation of a natal chart, or horoscope, based on the specific time and location of a person’s birth, which astrologers interpret to offer insights into the individual’s life path and personality. While astrology has been popularized in modern times, particularly through horoscopes in newspapers and online platforms, it remains a subject of skepticism within the scientific community due to the lack of empirical evidence supporting its claims.
