Astrology

Astrology is a belief system that suggests a connection between the positions and movements of planets and stars, and events on Earth, including human life and personality traits.

Astrology involves a birth chart or horoscope based on the positions of planets and stars at the time of a person's birth. This chart is then used to interpret various aspects of an individual's life, including their personality, relationships, and potential future events.

Astrology is a pseudoscience, astrology primarily focuses on the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets within our solar system, and certain points like the Ascendant in a person's birth chart.

Astrology primarily associates certain personality traits with specific zodiac signs, but it doesn't consider the entire sky.   There are many more constellations beyond the twelve signs of the zodiac. Astrology mainly considers the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

It doesn't include outer planets like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and it doesn't incorporate other celestial bodies like asteroids or comets. Astrology doesn't take into account the vast number of galaxies in the universe. It focuses solely on the celestial bodies within our solar system.

While astrology suggests a predetermined influence of planets on an individual's life, the concept of destiny is not dictated by celestial positions but rather by a complex interplay of biological, environmental, and personal factors.

The roots of astrology can be traced back to Ancient Babylon, where it emerged as a system to track celestial movements for agricultural and calendrical purposes.  The Babylonians observed the sky and associated celestial events with earthly occurrences, laying the groundwork for astrological principles.

 The term "astrology" itself is derived from the Greek words "Αστρο" (star) and "Λογια" (Logic), reflecting a logical or reasoned examination of celestial phenomena.   Greek philosophers, including Plato and Aristotle, contributed to the development of astrological concepts.

The idea that the stars could think and have logic gave birth to the idea that they can influence human affairs. During the Ages of Christianity, astrology became intertwined with Christian theology. Influential figures like Saint Augustine grappled with the compatibility of astrology with Christian beliefs.

Despite some opposition, astrology gained acceptance, and many medieval universities included it in their curriculum. In the Renaissance, astrology faced increasing skepticism and criticism, in the 20th century, astrology faced criticism from the scientific community, as studies consistently failed to support its claims.

Today, Astrology have the destiny it could never predict, its place withing junk magazines of bra and panties.
