It is safe to say that our ancestors were looking up at the sky, and finding connections between celestial events and those on Earth. While most would agree that the motions of the sun and stars are ideal for predicting when to plant crops, it is a bit more complicated to associate celestial events with personal and community affairs. Nevertheless, ancient astrologers began noticing that all kinds of relationships existed between the motions of the stars and the apparently random actions of mankind.
Regardless of whether you are talking about Eastern, Western, or Egyptian astrology, all of the predictions about future events depend on the motion and relationships between the stars and planets. For example, in reality Mercury does not “retrograde” or go backwards in its orbit. Nevertheless, someone standing on Earth can easily observe that Mercury will rise in an opposite quadrant of the sky depending on the time of year. As you may be aware, Mercury in retrograde means communication difficulties.
In a similar way, there are a number of meanings associated with the way the sun, moon, and planets appear to interact with the constellations. Individuals are assigned an astrology sign based on when the sun is moving through a particular constellation. Since the sun, moon, and planets continue to move across the sky, a person s life is divided into astrological houses. Each person has a house for money, love, family, and other practical aspects of life.
Historically speaking, an astrologer would have to spend days, or even months working to cast an individual’s horoscope. This is just one reason why these predictions were only made available to the most powerful community leaders. As humans developed the ability to write and record astrological information, they also began to notice the cyclic nature of certain celestial lineups. Today, anyone can purchase an ephemeris that will provide listings of thousands of relationships between the constellations, planets, and other celestial objects. When casting a horoscope, all you will need to do is understand the meaning of each celestial lineup, and then find out which astrological house is being affected.
If you want a fast, easy way to obtain a daily horoscope, there are a number of programs and websites that can help you find out what the day will bring. That said, these methods rarely encompass all of the astrological lineups for a given day. On the other hand, when you consult with an astrologer, you will receive a much more detailed reading. You can also ask questions about specific areas of your life, and enjoy the benefits of the astrologer s insight.
As may be expected, if you are fascinated by this subject, you can also pick up books and other materials that will teach you how to cast your own horoscopes. While it may take you some time to learn all of the terminology and symbols, you are sure to find it worth your while. At some point, you may even develop your own personal system based on celestial events that appear to have the most impact on your life. Without a question, when you are talking about the infinite depth of the universe, there is sure to be a pattern that matches your life and its future perfectly.
