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.
