What does the study of astrology entail?
The practice of astrology typically includes the interpretation of the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and planets, in relation to the Earth. Astrologers use this information to create a horoscope, which is a map or chart of the sky at the time of a person’s birth. The horoscope is used to identify a person’s personality traits and potential future events. Astrologers may also use horoscopes to make predictions about a person’s love life, career, and other aspects of their life. Many astrologers will offer consultation and interpretation of the horoscope for clients, and use different techniques such as chart reading, tarot cards, and numerology. It’s worth noting that astrology is not a scientifically recognized field and there is no evidence that the positions of stars and planets at the time of one’s birth have any effect on a person’s life.
