Knowing their positions at a given time, astrologers undertake to predict the future and, if one pauses to reflect, often prophesy with success. After all, the Sun in March causes plants to grow, and the Moon, at a certain point, governs the tides. Likewise, adherents of astrology claim that the planetary configuration at the moment of an individual’s extraction from the mother’s womb is capable of programming their character and certain events of their life.
Alongside astrological signs, so-called horoscopic astrology (personality astrology) is widely known, which in turn is based on the idea of human free will in shaping one’s destiny, the options for which are embedded in the birth chart (horoscope). Any chain of events can be interrupted or disrupted by a person’s free will. Warning information gives the individual the right to choose, which may lead to one or another course of events.
Scholars believe that the earliest horoscope records (the most ancient texts of the Avesta, burned by Macedon during the conquest of Persia) formed the foundation of Zoroastrian religion.
The planetary circle was divided into 12 arcs of 30 degrees each, with each arc corresponding to an allegorical (zodiacal) symbol. Accordingly, human births and their character traits are differentiated into 12 calendar segments.
Popular are horoscopes in which a person’s destiny is delineated according to time and place of birth. The zodiac signs are classified into four elemental groups: fire, earth, water, air. Based on the strength of expression of inner zodiacal qualities, three groups of signs are distinguished: weak (Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, Virgo), medium (Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus), and strong (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn).
In antiquity, astrology represented one of the main components of mystical rites and mysteries. One example of an astrological ritual was, for instance, the dance in a circle imitating the planetary paths. The mythological school interpreted many works of world culture through an astrological lens. In particular, the Bible is deciphered as an astrological description: the twelve apostles are interpreted as the 12 months, the thirty pieces of silver as the 30 days of the month, Christ as the Sun, his birth as the solstice, and so on.
Astrology is closely interwoven with sciences and religions, ancient spiritual practices, and modern methods of personal development.
It makes sense to understand astrology as a philosophy that helps to deeply comprehend cause-and-effect relationships of various phenomena. Thanks to astrological forecasts, one can grasp subtle interconnections between different areas of life that are incomprehensible from a rationalist viewpoint and unique to each individual; gain perspective and a broader outlook on the situations you are in. Astrology can give you the opportunity to feel cosmic order within what seems to be a chaotic life. Indeed, the very sense of order provides strength to restore self-confidence, inner peace, and mental tranquility.
