Exploring the World of Astrology: A Beginner’s Guide

What is Astrology?

Astrology is an ancient system that studies the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, stars, and planets, and their relationship to events on Earth and human personality. It’s not a science, but a form of art predicting and understanding oneself and the world around us.

Applications of Astrology

Astrology is not only used to understand personality but also in many other areas such as:

• Daily/Weekly/Monthly Horoscopes: Predicting trends and opportunities in life.
• Relationship Analysis: Understanding compatibility between zodiac signs.
• Choosing auspicious times: For example: choosing wedding dates, starting a business, investing.

Note: Astrology is only a supporting tool, and you shouldn’t rely on it entirely to make important life decisions.
