Astrology & Horoscope

Astrology is a pseudoscience that is based on the superstitious belief that the movement of the planets, sun, moon and constellations determines a person's fate. It is a field of study that deals with planetary movements in the Universe and their influences on human life. According to the Best Astrologer in India, one can predict the future based on the position of the sun, the moon, and the planets and the positions of those at the time of one’s birth can have a direct impact on their lives and the events in it. 

Astrologers use mathematics and other tools to calculate the course of various astronomical bodies and determine how these movements will affect a person's daily life and future. 

By contrast, a horoscope is a diagram, chart, or graphical representation of the heavens. This graph or chart shows the planets’ positions and the zodiac signs. These diagrams are used by horoscope enthusiasts in the computation of births and the art of foretelling the future events of one’s life. Being guided by such, a person can be advised to act in a particular behaviour so as to make his day better. 

Etymologically, a horoscope is taken from the Greek term “horoskopos,” which can be translated to “looking at the hours.” It is much related to astrology because as per its definition, it makes use of the concept of astrology on planetary positions across space.  

When somebody studies astrology, they will eventually go deep into horoscopes. However, in the time of studying horoscopes, it is not always guaranteed that anybody can learn every focal point of astrology. 

In Western Astrology, the skies are divided into 12 parts. Each part represents a zodiac sign or sun sign. The position of the sky, as well as the position of the sun, moon, and the planets at the time of one’s birth is what decides the person’s sun sign or zodiac sign. These planetary positions are what is depicted in the horoscopes, i.e. the charts and diagrams. An astrologer then studies these charts to make their prediction or give advice. 

Before we drop into the many forms of astrological analysis, we need to know why we use astrology in the first place. Beyond the fact that astrology is a fun and flirty form of entertainment filled with crude memes, it’s also a way to find meaning in this unpredictable world.  According to the Best Astrologer in India, it’s based on the understanding that when celestial bodies make specific planetary alignments, certain things are more likely to happen! And by becoming more aware of the patterns that repeat throughout our lives, astrology can help us avoid making the same mistakes twice while taking advantage of opportunities to get ahead.  

There are 80 different types of astrology where 10 forms of them are more useful and popular, they are: 

1. Modern Astrology: Self-improvement free-will and psychology related. 

2. Traditional Astrology: Fate, destiny and predicting the future. 

3. Relationship Astrology: Compatibility in love, friendship & business related. 

4. Sidereal Astrology: Vedic astrology, spirituality & healing oriented.

8. Financial Astrology: Heading bets and trading stocks. 

9. Locational Astrology: The astrology of geography and world events. 

10. Medical Astrology: Healing the mind, body & spirit. 

So, astrology serves as the method for the derivation of results, i.e., horoscope. This is the thing; while astrology refers to a field of study, horoscope refers to an astrological chart or prediction. Moreover, astrology dates back to 5000 years ago and horoscopes date back to 2400 years ago. Astrological forecast of an individual’s future, which is carried out using his date of birth, is known as Horoscope. The angles made by these celestial bodies with respect to a specific reference are used for evaluation, according to the Best Astrologer in India. The four primary angles are the first house, which is the ascendant, the tenth house, the seventh house, which is the descendant, and the fourth  

However, in most intelligent circles, astrology is considered to be pseudoscience and has no credibility. There have been many studies conducted to try to prove the effectiveness of astrology, but none have been able to so far. Still, many continue to rely on it, and many swear by it. While the importance of astrology has declined in Western civilization, there are still many, especially in East Asian countries, such as India, China, Japan, etc., that vigorously believe in astrology and take it as fact.
