Genethliacal Astrology, which suggests nativity, is another name for Natal Astrology. It is an Astrology system that claims to give light on a person’s personality or life path. This notion is based on creating a Horoscope or Natal Chart that contains an individual’s exact birth date, time, and location. The Indian or Jyotisha, Chinese, and Western astrological traditions all use Natal Astrology.
The Sun, Moon, planets, Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant, and Immum Coeli, as well as the aspects or angles between them, are all depicted in a horoscope. Noting the location and relevance of crucial features is part of the interpretation process. The Zodiac Signs and Houses are analyzed using Chart Weighting. The study of planetary aspect patterns is known as chart shaping.
Astrology is generally regarded as a pseudoscience by the scientific community. There is minimal statistical data that suggests a link between horoscopes and the events that occur in a person’s life or throughout the planet.

What makes astrology charts so precise?
Have you ever wondered how astrology can be so accurate after reading your horoscope? It defies logic that the stars have an impact on us… but they do!
At some point in our lives, we have all attempted to check our daily or weekly horoscopes.
Those who read their horoscopes on a regular basis are astounded by how correctly it predicts their future life events. Some term it pseudoscience, while others refer to it as a pure psychological game.
Whatever the case may be, astrology continues to function after thousands of years. Its ability to forecast events in our lives in ahead is what allows it to survive.
Astrology is based on scientific calculations of planetary movements and constellations. Astrology is based on the observation of patterns that emerge over hundreds of years by analyzing these planets. The stars and planets do not necessarily have an influence on events, but they are time markers that help us comprehend what cycle we are in at the moment of a person’s birth.
Every civilization on the planet has developed its own system for predicting events based on astronomical observations of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.
The ancients interpreted the movements of the stars and planets in the sky as Gods communicating with them through sign language.
They’ve devised a tremendously sophisticated system of time measurement only for the purpose of calculating numerous astronomical phenomena.
Even today, these measurement techniques are so precise that scientists are baffled as to how such an ancient culture could have devised them.
Some of these findings have hit the front pages of newspapers, with headings like “mysteries of history from throughout the world.”
Simply said, many people believe in astrology because it consistently provides them with accurate readings.
Astrology’s continued success is what makes it an instant hit with today’s youth. Do they understand the science underlying the astronomical calculations or the mathematical computations that go into them? Most likely not.
Is astrology accurate in terms of science?
Astrology is a collection of belief systems that assert that there is a connection between astrological phenomena and events or personality traits in the human world. The scientific community has dismissed astrology as having no explanatory power for describing the universe. Scientific testing has discovered no evidence to back up the astrological traditions’ premises or alleged effects.
What astrology system is the most accurate?
Although the houses are measured out in 30 degree increments starting from the degree of the ascendant, the ecliptic is divided into twelve divisions of 30 degrees in the equal house method. It starts with the ascendant, which works as the 1st house’s ‘cusp’ or starting point, then the second house begins 30 degrees later in zodiacal order, then the third house begins 30 degrees later in zodiacal order from the second house, and so on. Equal house proponents believe that in higher latitudes (particularly above 60 degrees), it is more accurate and less misleading than the Placidean and other quadrant house systems.
Is it necessary for me to have an astrology reading?
Astrology is the belief that the locations of the stars and the movement of the planets through the solar system have an impact on human lives, events, and behavior. While you probably already know what your zodiac sign is, studying the important characteristics (as revealed by the zodiac) is essential if you want to improve your self-awareness. You will not only learn how to live your best life, but you will also acquire vital insight into how to live in harmony with others.
To begin, you must first learn how to comprehend astrology: Each of the 12 astrological signs is classified as a quadruplicity (cardinal signs that begin new seasons), mutable (signs that adapt well to change), or fixed sign (one that occurs in the middle of the seasons), as well as a triplicity (a sign associated with one of the four elements: Earth, air, water, or fire). Fire signs are passionate and lively, earth signs are realistic and grounded, air signs are analytical and curious, and water signs are observant and emotional, in a nutshell.
Because there is so much information to process, an astrology reading is always an excellent idea. Trust us when we say that after you learn more about the divine goodness that comes with one, you’ll understand why so many people look to the stars for guidance on life, love, and everything in between.
What makes you think I should believe in astrology?
Astrology has been shown in studies to significantly impact and even validate a person’s self-concept, as well as improve their confidence in their unique characteristics. In short, astrology’s ruminative nature stimulates self-reflection, allowing people to better understand themselves and their surroundings.
Is it possible to foretell the future using astrology?
This is likely the most harmful assumption about astrology that people make. Its function, contrary to popular assumption, is not to predict what will happen to you in the future. Instead, it’s supposed to be a guiding tool that allows you to make informed judgments and steer clear of life’s pitfalls. Astrology seeks to keep you in tune with the universe’s oneness. It can help you make better decisions when you’re not aligned and things keep going wrong.
Many individuals believe that an astrologer has the power to influence their lives or fate. This is not an option. Consider the following scenario: Because an astrologer did not create your fate, he cannot alter it. Your subconscious and collected karma are the ones who have shaped your fate. You have the opportunity to edit your life a little bit in life by your choices and decisions. You built it, so you have some control over it, but you can’t change it entirely.
Let me put it this way: you’ll never grow into an orange tree if you’re an apple seed. You may not be able to avoid contracting a sickness, but you can choose how you treat and deal with it. In this way, astrology may assist you by serving as a guide to help you make decisions that will allow you to experience the finest possible outcome of your own personal destiny. It all begins with you and finishes with you; it’s that simple.
What exactly is the logic of astrology?
Most people who read this article have at least once read their horoscope. Some people believe astrology is scientific, despite the fact that scientific research have never shown proof for the claims made by astrologers. We’re starting to figure out why, and it’s possible that people’s personalities have something to do with it.
Astrology columns may be found all over the place and have been there for a long time. One of the earliest known columnists was William Lilly, a 17th-century astrologer who is said to have prophesied the Great Fire of London 14 years in advance.
Astrology is based on the belief that stars and planets have some influence over human affairs and happenings on Earth. Horoscopes, on the other hand, are an astrologer’s interpretation of a person’s life based on the relative positions of stars and planets.
These forecasts are read all across the world on a regular basis. According to the Wellcome Trust Monitor Survey, 21% of adults in the United Kingdom read their horoscopes “on a regular basis” or “quite frequently.”
What is the most effective method for learning astrology?
Astrologer Kelly Surtees joins the podcast in this episode to discuss some recommendations for learning astrology and eventually becoming an astrologer.
The conversation is based in part on a post I did on my blog several years ago titled 10 recommendations for understanding astrology. (Update 8/18/2018: watch also my video on five short beginner astrology recommendations.) I wanted to revisit the subject in order to dig a little deeper into some of the suggestions and add a few new ones.
Kelly and I take you from the very first steps you need to take in order to begin your studies in astrology, assuming you know nothing or very little about it, all the way to the intermediate and advanced phases of learning about the subject, during the course of the show.
