What is a Horoscope?

At school, we learn about science and mathematics, history and geography, english and french, but we never really get the opportunity to learn about ourselves. Learning who we are as individuals is very important in one’s life, for it is what makes us feel happy, proud and accomplished about ourselves.

http://numbers.findyourlucky.com/numbers/horoscope-lucky-numbers-for-today.png

This is where horoscopes come in. They cannot tell you or anybody else your future, but they can tell you what kind of person you are. A complete horoscope, showing the special relationship between you and the Sun, the moon, and the planets at the moment of your birth can tell you how you think and what you feel, what your talents are and what things may be useful to you, where your success lays, and even what things in life will make you happy.

The Sun, the Moon and the planets, along with the 4 elements and 3 states each represent a different kind of personality and side to our lives. Here’s some information about each and every one of them so you can better follow what your horoscope means:

Astronomy vs. Astrology

The study of everything beyond our terrestrial atmosphere from stars, to black holes, to even aliens, has always interested our human species. The thing that we're never too clear on though, would be which field of science studies this subject specifically: Astronomy or Astrology? The confusion has been heating up for many years now, so what exactly are the differences between Astronomy and Astrology?

https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT9FSN7A5DawnhTfX9u1juqYvt8veFS-icKded5gx-17EtrRf5Mgoq-04A

Astronomy is the study of the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere. It is the study of the positions, the properties, and the movements of all celestial bodies and phenomena ranging anywhere from planets to galaxies, to evolution and destruction, and even to the past and the future. Astronomy is the field in science for all space related theories that can be physically tested.

Astrology is the study of how the positions, the properties, and the movements of celestial bodies affect the people and the events on Earth. Astrology observes things like horoscopes, changes in your life, and almost anything else you want it to tell you. Astrology, though, is not black and white; it focuses on predictions and theories that cannot be physically proved or explained. The study of astrology is a form of art.

The fool-proof astronomy and the magical astrology; which one would you trust more? Although astronomy can be proved physically, astrology can give us the answers to things we don’t understand; it can give us reasons for why “everything happens for a reason.” For some people, believing they know everything makes them feel better that just knowing the only understand some things.
