Astrology | Common Misconceptions About Astrology
There are a number of common misconceptions about astrology in the Western world. Astrology in
America has changed and has become a form of entertainment. Many people do not take astrology
seriously. However, the art of astrology has a lot of truth and usefulness. Below are the most common
misconceptions about astrology, and the truth behind the myth.
First Misconception About Astrology: Horoscopes do not work because astrology is
'nonsense'.
The Truth: Horoscopes are
entertainment created based on very limited aspects of the true study of astrology. Horoscopes are determined
and created using the basic sun signs
and the influences on them from planetary movements and alignments. Since not every single person with a
particular sun sign has the same astrological chart, horoscopes are rarely accurate for more than a handful
of people.
Real astrology predictions are determined by using individual astrological information combined with current
astrological influences. These in depth astrology readings are not easy to master and can be quite complex, and
cannot be created reliably or accurately on a mass basis. Therefore, horoscopes serve more as a basis for
entertainment and what may happen are based on sun sign alone.
Second Misconception About Astrology: Astrology is an ancient art and practice that holds no place
in reality. It is equivalent to the Greek and Roman tales of Hercules and gods and
goddesses.
The Truth: Astrology has been practiced and used since pre-historic times.
There have been maps of the stars and other evidences found. The Egyptians, the Incans, and the Aztecs practiced
astrology. In Addition, India
and China have long practiced astrology and used its predictions in their daily lives for millennia,
and continue to do so till today.
It is recently understood that astrology played a role in the Christian story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The
three wise men used astrological phenomena and occurrences rather than an actual star to discern the events that
were about to occur and the fact that they would occur in the land of Judah. Based on such information, it is
becoming more difficult for people to dismiss astrology as myth and legend.
Third Misconception About Astrology: Real astrology is not practiced in the United
States.
The Truth: Much of the astrology practiced in the United States is not a real or complete study
of astrology and is mainly for entertainment purposes only, such as horoscopes. However, there are still real
astrology experts in America. While they are only a few compared to the general consensus of astrologists, and may
be difficult to find, but there are quite a number of them out there.
The best locations to find real astrology experts in the United States are in communities where diversity has
not driven out the New Age population. True astrologers can be found easier in smaller communities of big cities.
There are also New Age and occult bookstores and other shops where you may find good astrologers. Additionally, you
may find good astrologers at pagan festivals and psychic fairs held throughout America at different times of the
year.
