Importance of Astrology and Horoscopes in Our Life

The majority of astrological traditions is based on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies and the construction of calculated or perceived celestial patterns relating to the location and time of an event.

A reference frame for the positions of astrological planets, stars, lunar nodes and so on is defined through the tropical zodiac containing twelve signs, as well as the local horizon (descendant, mid heaven axis and ascendant). Twelve astrological houses define the local frame and astrological aspects determine the angular or geometric relationship between the celestial bodies and the angles contained in the horoscope.

In Western tradition, predictive astrology uses two main methods, namely astrological transits and progressions. In astrological transit, the significance of planet's movements through space is interpreted. In astrological progression, the horoscope is moved forward in time in accordance with set methods.

In the past, celestial objects were closely observed and their movements charted. Modern astrologers transform data which is provided by astronomers into sets of tables. These show changing positions of celestial bodies within the zodiac over time. There was a time when Astronomy and astrology went hand in hand, that was until science started to be more factually based. Nowadays quantum physics and science are connecting with astrological thinking and could once again merge in the future.

Many traditions share features which are similar, due to a passing on of various beliefs and doctrines between carrying cultures. Others, having developed isolated, may share some of the features but are based on very different doctrines. As a rule, modern astrologers tend to follow Chinese, Hindu or Western tradition, or a combination of some or all of them.

In the 20th Century, contact between traditions has become easier, and thus closer and some have taken advantage of theirs by allowing Western astrology to diversify in many ways. Among some, much of recent tradition has made way for other approaches, such as an approach from a psychological angle, or a greater emphasis placed on mid points. Others may now include point- or star based as well as constellation astrology. Throughout history, many changes and developments have taken place, and many traditions are no longer used. However, quite a few of them, in particular Babylonian, Arab, Persian, Egyptian, Hellenistic (Classical antiquity), Hindu and Mayan astrologies, are still regarded as a point of interest as well as important, useful resources by many.

All scientific theories which have been created by humans to explain the universe around us are basically the same thing. Astrology, astronomy, philosophy, quantum physics, and religion are basically the same thing. Scientists and skeptics need actual physical proof. I often say to people that when you walk into a room where two people have had an argument how come you can 'feel' or 'sense' an atmosphere? You don't know they have had a falling out but you can feel the atmosphere is dense or just different.. Explain it, how do you know? What are you feeling? Do you need scientific proof to prove that what you sense is real, or do you trust your instincts?

Every living organism in this world is a part of this solar system and universe. Brian Cox is explaining this very well with his latest series 'Wonders of the Universe'. If the world and planets like the moon affects the tides of our seas surly these huge planets affect every other living or non living thing on our planet. Everything we do has a cause and effect. What happens in our everyday life is not just random, how can it be? Our thoughts, attitudes, words and action significantly cause and influence our personal experiences of life. I wouldn't be writing this article if it wasn't for cause and effect. I am a scientist and I don't need concrete proof to believe in something which many people would laugh at. I use my own experience do my own research and use my instinct to come to my conclusion. What do you do? Listen to someone else's?
