What Is Astrology

There is no fixed answer to this. There are probably as many definitions of astrology as there are astrologers. Before we set out to define, a basic premise is made that the Universe is seamless and is whole. Based on this premise, astrology can be defined as a symbolic system or language used to interpret the "goings on" in the universe with respect to planetary motions and the motions of whole systems themselves. These symbols and the language is ages old. It works on a data set compiled through the ages. You could say that astrology is a store of knowledge and meanings gathered through the history of mankind, a kind of cornucopia full of insights of how men in general have experienced and understood life.

 It is an art, it is a science, used to study the cycles of life. Please note that here we talk about cycles of life. These cycles may be short, or long. We may experience these cycles in a life time or not. Some of them are so long sycles that we may not realise them unless we became fully knowledgeable or reached a state called "Nirvana". However, there are other cycles that we all experience many times in our lives, and through these we come to know why something happens when it does and how that impacts the way we are shaping our "destiny."

Astrology is an ancient practice based on the study of the movements of the planets and stars.According to the historians,astrology was first practised and started by the Babylonians.Astrology and astronomy might sound similar but they are both different in nature.Astronomy deals with the science of the movements of planets whereas astrology deals with the prediction of the future based on the movements of the heavenly bodies.
