Astrology is one of several pseudoscientific practices that attempt to find connections between the positions and movements of the solar system's planets, the sun, and the moon, and the characteristics and events in people's lives. The term "astrology" comes from the Greek words astron ("star") and logos, which have various translations, typically related to "systematic thought or speech."
Astrology is a vast subject with many facets; beyond planets and zodiac signs, "houses" and other elements can be interpreted. Here's a summary of each zodiac sign to provide an understanding of the basic personalities they represent. Remember that this refers only to the sun sign, which is what we commonly call a zodiac sign; a complete horoscope includes much more.
Astrology originated in Babylonia and was further developed in Egypt and Persia. Until the Middle Ages, it was considered a discipline equivalent to astronomy. The doctrine is mentioned in several texts, including the Bible. Nearly all mythologies have views about the starry sky, encompassing knowledge of Earth and its neighboring planets.
Astrology was central to magical and alchemical practices in both ancient and modern times. For centuries, people have used the positions of the sun and stars in the sky to interpret events and predict the future. In particular, the sun has been revered in almost every religion and philosophy worldwide.
Many believe that "God" is synonymous with "The Sun." Notable historical astrologers include Tycho Brahe, Nostradamus, and Carl Gustav Jung.
