What is Astrology?

Astrology dates back over 2,000 years to Babylonian times. Over time, the practice has spread throughout the world and remains extremely popular today. Astrology focuses on how the planets and stars affect people on Earth. The name comes from the Greek words astronomy and logia, which translate to "study of stars."

What are the Zodiac Signs?

Although most people are somewhat familiar with the 12 signs of the zodiac through reading horoscopes, many do not understand their significance in astrology. As the Earth completes its annual orbit around the sun, the sun's position in the sky shifts. The zodiac signs are based on the path the sun takes and its proximity to certain constellations at various times of the year.

​

Your zodiac sign is the constellation the sun was closest to on the day you were born. However, if your birth date falls towards the beginning or end of the date range, you may find that you exhibit traits of multiple signs. An astrology guide can help those born near the cutoff point determine their true zodiac sign.

​

Each sign of the zodiac is also linked to an element – earth, air, fire, or water. Your zodiac sign is also fixed, mutable, or cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn). People with a fixed sign are stable, dependable, and resistant to change. Those with a mutable sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) are known for their adaptability. Cardinal signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) tend to make great leaders, since they lead the way with their many ideas.

​

Learning more in-depth information about your zodiac sign can provide you with valuable insight into your personality. It can also be used to predict your compatibility with someone else in a relationship. This information can be applied to romantic relationships, as well as friendships, co-workers, and family members.

 

What Should I Expect During My Astrology Reading?

Most astrology readings begin with looking at your natal chart, also called your birth chart. The astrology guide will use the date, time, and place of your birth to determine the position of the sun, moon, and stars when you were born. The shift of these celestial bodies from the time of your birth until now can be used to offer insight into what is currently going on in your life. Your astrological chart can show you things about your job, love life, friends, finances, and more.

If you are uncertain about the accurate time of your birth and unable to find out before your consultation, just let your astrologer know. They will ask you a few questions that will allow them to best complete your birth chart analysis without that piece of information.

​

Generally, you will want to come to the reading with a few questions prepared that you would like to get answered. Writing these questions down ahead of time is a great way to ensure that you don't forget to explore and address them during your session.
