Astrology
As early as 30,000 BC humans were charting the journey of the stars across the night sky. As each planet moved through the backdrop of a specific constellation, similar events seemed to happen. An example is when Mars was visible to Earth, people seemed more likely to go to battle for this reasons Mars was called the God of War. On the other hand Venus seemed to encourage peace and harmony hence Venus was called the Goddess of love.
Over time the movements of the stars and planets were observed in relation to human response, it was discovered that a common pattern formed……it was a lot more than what is considered a co-incidence.
Throughout history it became obvious that astrology could be used as a divination to predict and improve life's circumstances. It has been used to improve relationships between subjects, rulers, countries and kingdoms. It has been even used by presidents and prime ministers to decide what are the best times for certain political moves.
I believe that Astrology is here to stay for all time.
Sun Signs
The position of the sun at the moment of your birth determines the inner and outer you, the part that you show to other and is very difficult to hide. It reflects your potential as an individual and your particular character traits. You may share characteristics of the sign next to yours particularly if you are born on the first or the last day of a sun sign which is known as "the cusp".
The twelve sun signs which are called the zodiac are also composed of components such as earth, water, air, and masculine or feminine (yin or yang).
