Astrology | Astrology In Various Parts Of The World
Astrology has been gaining much acceptance in various parts of the world. It is fascinating to
know that while only about thirty-one percent of adults in the America believe in astrology,
research studies indicate that fifty-two percent of
Europeans acknowledge astrology to be
a science.
Western Astrology
The predominant forms of astrology that are currently practice are Indian astrology, Chinese
astrology, and Western astrology. In America, Western astrology is the most
prevailing. The most popular aspect of Western astrology is the zodiac sign or horoscopes. It is based on
the area of constellations and each of which is explained as the association of various figures or
representations. The zodiac or horoscope signs are Aries (the ram), Taurus (the bull), Gemini (the twins), Cancer (the crab), Leo
(the lion), Virgo
(the virgin), Libra (the scales), Scorpio (the scorpion), Sagittarius (the archer), Capricorn (the goat), Aquarius (the water-bearer) and Pisces (the fishes).
Horoscope of an individual person is dependent on which sign was in effect or arising when a person was born;
and whether a person was born on the "cusp," which refers to the very beginning or the very end of the particular
sign. On top of using a sign to forecast one's life events and predict one's future, a sign is also thought
to correspond to learning about specific characteristics of one's personality and even inclination toward various
possible health conditions. Astrological sign is understood to govern certain parts of one's body. Peculiar
as it may sound, many who have conscientiously studied this type of information have realized it to be quite
accurate. For example, while every Virgo is not "practical," "critical," or "stubborn", this
characteristic is indeed a natural factor amongst many who were born under this astrological sign.
Vedic Astrology
Another type of astrology is Indian astrology, which is also known as Jyotisa, or Vedic astrology. It is based on the belief of connection
between the microcosm and the macrocosm, the smaller parts and the universal. Although interest in Vedic
astrology is popular as it is currently practiced in India, it is also a vital part of their culture, as people
depend on it for all of their major decisions in their lives, from love, marriage to business.
During the last few decades, Indian astrology has become globally widespread. It has always been a part of the
Indian's culture for centuries. Vedic astrology is believed to have been revealed more than 7000 years
ago. What is believed to have started with the Brahma, has become so popular and has spread to far away
places like Arizona. Arizona is also the home ground of the American College of Vedic Astrology. Currently it is offering
several online courses for those interested in learning how to become certified astrologers. Most
astrologers offering Vedic astrology information and readings are found in India.
Chinese Astrology
Chinese astrology is associated with the calendar cycle, rather than on constellations of the
stars or planets. In this type of astrology, the horoscope signs are named after the twelve animals like
the Rat,
Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster,
Dog, and
Pig.
Going by the Chinese
lunar calendar, each of these animals is associated to the lunar months. The animals are assigned to
the time and day during which the individual person was born. On top of these twelve animals, there are 5
elements like wood, fire, earth, metal and water. These five elements are believed to have the
abilities to change the characteristics of the animals' signs.
One of the main objective and purpose of astrology is to be able to achieve balance, and to do whatever changes
possible and necessary in order to attain that balance. Chinese astrology has also started to achieve
widespread popularity in America.
