The fact that the arrangement of the planets at the time of birth affects the character and fate of a person has been known since ancient times. All the features of such influence are studied by astrology. And although official science considers it to be quackery, experienced astrologers in practice have repeatedly proved the very high accuracy of astrological conclusions.
Horoscopes that can be found in popular publications have nothing to do with serious astrology. To draw conclusions about the character and fate of a person, to give recommendations about some specific events, the astrologer needs to know the exact date of birth, up to the minute. In addition, information about the place of birth is needed. It is impossible to carry out correct astrological calculations without these data.
How planets affect humans
The mechanism of this influence is still unknown. Astrology is an empirical science, that is, based on observations. Once people noticed that a certain arrangement of the planets has some influence on the character of a person and his life. These observations began to be systematized, and astrology arose.
In order to draw conclusions, an astrologer needs a horoscope drawn up for the date of birth of a person - the so-called natal horoscope, it is also a radix and a birth chart. The horoscope circle is divided into 12 sectors in accordance with the signs of the zodiac. In addition, there are 12 houses or fields in it. Their boundaries, as a rule, do not coincide with the boundaries of the zodiacal signs.
The signs of the zodiac are divided according to the elements: there are signs of Fire, Water, Earth and Air. After drawing up the horoscope, the astrologer calculates how many planets are in the signs of certain elements. Already at this stage, the first conclusions can be drawn. For example, if the signs of Fire prevail, a person has an assertive character, purposefulness. The qualities of the Earth prevail - it is stable, emotionally stable, pragmatic, etc.
Also, the signs of the zodiac form three crosses: cardinal, fixed and mutable. The cardinal cross is also called the cross of will. If there are many planets in it, a person has a strong will, decisiveness, purposefulness. The fixed cross gives such qualities as punctuality, stability, firmness of character, conservatism. The mutable cross makes a person mobile, flexible, able to adapt to any conditions.
The houses of the horoscope also have their own meaning. For example, the first house indicates the appearance of a person, the second - to the material condition, the third - to relatives, etc. Of great importance is the location of the planets in the horoscope above or below the horizon, in the left hemisphere or in the right. The position of the ascendant is also important. Finally, the location of the planets, the aspects they form, are assessed. Assessing all the characteristics in the aggregate, an astrologer can make a very accurate conclusion about a person and his life. In addition, astrology allows you to predict the development of events for a certain period of time, for this, a transit horoscope is used.
Can astrology be believed
Disputes about the truth of astrology are still ongoing. But practice shows that an experienced astrologer can give very accurate recommendations and predictions. It should also be borne in mind that an astrologer never predicts anything - he only speaks about the likelihood of certain events.
This point is very important to understand. For example, an astrologer says that within the next week for such and such a person there is a high probability of car accidents. Following the advice of an astrologer, this person minimizes travel and lives the specified period safely. This is the essence of astrology - it allows you to know in advance about the increased likelihood of some events and take the necessary measures.
In the history of astrology, there were very bright names, ranging from Nostradamus and ending with Count Sergei Vronsky, a Soviet astrologer who made a lot of the most accurate predictions. Astrology helps a person to live in rhythm with universal processes, avoid dangers and take advantage of opportunities.
