Is Astrology A Real Science?
Astrology is a type of prophetic look into the future using the
solar system and bodies in the sky. There are various types out
there and by far most of the astrology that you'll find done is
anything but real. Yet, true astrology is very perplexing
because it can be very real. The celestial bodies can do many
things like provide you with the ability to understand, to
organize the knowledge, and to interpret the world around you.
Often, it is said that the location of various bodies means
something.
Traditionally, astrology is based on the relative positions and
the movements of the celestial bodies (both real and non
existent.) One of the main things that astrology claims to
provide is an understanding of personality traits. It is
believed that the positions of the celestial bodies in the sky
influences many things such as your personality traits, your
physical characteristics and even important things that will
happen within your life. Some astrologers believe that each
person has a predestined life and that that life can be
reflected and told from the sky above.
Where did astrology come from? It is believed that the Western
form of astrology originated in ancient Babylon and then spread
to other nations and to other lands. It was found to be in
Greece in the middle of the fourth century BC and then hit Rome
before the Christian era began. From there, it spread throughout
the world with the Roman Empire.
But, is it real? That is the question that many people want to
know. While it is a controversial subject, there can be
something to it. For example, for many people, by instilling in
them a sense that something is going to happen almost makes it
happen. And, for others allowing them to believe today will be a
good day that it will be just that. But, often, even without any
scientific proof, we can find that astrology is right on the
money. While it is likely that astrology will not be able to
prove that is works in a controlled study, those that have had
astrology work for them believe none the less.
