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 and characteristics in human life and the natural world. Practitioners, known as astrologers, interpret the alignment of these celestial bodies at specific times, typically at the time of a person’s birth, to provide insights into personality traits, life events, and potential future occurrences. Astrology is often divided into various branches, including natal astrology (focusing on individual horoscopes), mundane astrology (concerned with world events), and electional astrology (advising on the best timing for actions). Although not considered a science by the broader scientific community, astrology has a rich historical tradition, influencing cultural practices, decision-making, and personal beliefs throughout human history.
