| Astrology begins with the mapping of the planets, including the sun and the
moon. This map is called an astrological chart. Most often an astrological
chart is designed for someone at birth. To determine the position of the
planets, sun, and moon for an astrological chart the astrologist needs to
know the exact location of the birth, the exact time, and the date of the
birth.
The planets found on the astrological chart are the Sun, the
moon, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, Mercury, and Pluto. The
earth is not considered because it is the point in the universe from which
we view the other planets. The sun and moon are considered planets in
astrology, which is hard for some people to remember.
In the astrological chart consists of twelve houses. Each house represents
an aspect of life, such as romance, career, family, etc. Since there are
only ten planets, each astrological chart will have two vacant houses.
Vacant houses represent aspects of life which, for whatever reason, the
cosmos do not feel you need to work on. In other words, you may have
mastered this aspect of life in another life or realm.
The position of the sun also determines your sun sign. This is the first
aspect of astrology studied on the astrological chart. Next, the positions
of the planets are studied in relation to their influence on the sun sign.
Finally, the moon sign and position is studied in relation to the rest of
the astrological chart.
The interpretation of an astrological birth chart as a whole will paint the
picture of the original personality of the individual. The birth chart found
through astrology later in life may not appear accurate. This is due to the
fact that other astrological phenomena in conjunction with life events alter
the personality over time.
Astrology is the study of this astrological chart, as well as the prediction
of the future based on how other astrological phenomena might influence the
original readings. The interpretation of the astrological chart is also a
large part of the art of astrology, and is necessary for accurate
predictions.
The use of astrology in predictions is considered an art for a reason. Not
only must the astrology expert interpret the birth chart and the current
astrological phenomena, but the astrology expert must also interpret any
astrological phenomena that may have altered the personality of the
individual over time. Amazingly, life changing events can often be seen
using astrology readings from the time of the event.
Many major events in history can also be marked by astrology readings. For
example, the fall of the Roman Empire was marked by astrological phenomena.
The horror of 9/11 and the destruction of the twin towers was also awaited
by those who study astrology. Even the birth of Christ was marked by
astrological phenemona.
