From immemorial times, watching the heavens has provided inspiration for mankind. Astrology is perhaps the most ancient arcane system of cosmic wisdom that links all life, creation, the universe and man.

Astronomy and astrology are intertwined; call them the twin sisters acknowledged by our ancient ancestors. Astronomy provides the foundation and structure from which astrology springs.

Astrology has often been referred to as the Golden Science, the Mother of all Divination. 'Astro' means Star and 'Logy' refers to Logos or intelligence.

Many archeologists have found evidence of its origins as far back as 4000 BC in the fertile crescent the cradle of civilization of Mesopotamia, today's modern day Iraq, in the city of Ur at the crossroads of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

The actual word 'horoscope' is derived from the Latin combination of two words in which 'Horo' means hour and 'Scope' means view, so it is a 'view of the hour.' It is the path that our Sun takes (also called the ecliptic) in our galaxy that is dotted with 12 constellations, one for each of the signs of the Zodiac. Many of these constellations are animals, like the Crab, the Ram, the Lion and the Archer, while a few are people such as the Gemini twins, and Virgo the virgin.

Key planets generally refer to the Sun and Moon in the chart, along with the ruler of the sign on the Ascendant. Not to diminish the importance of the other heavenly bodies, but these planets are the most personal points in the entire chart. Because of the personal interfacing, these planets reflect the most sensitive side of your being.

The Sun is your purpose in life. It's what you have come here on Earth in the incarnation to do and express. If you are not expressing what your Sun needs then you will find yourself unhappy and consequently very unfulfilled.

At last count there were over 80 branches of astrology in usage! That's really so amazing considering the minimal uses at its inception.

Gem stones allow only one type of energy related to a particular planet into our body. So the problems related to that planet can be alleviated by wearing a gem stone. Most of the people wear gem stones depending on their birth star, moon sign or sun sign or just for fun. This is dangerous. An Astrologer can prescribe a suitable gem for you only after complete analysis of your horoscope.

If you can change your future as you like, then where God stands? You can change only a few things in your life that are allowed by God depending on your past actions. Astrology gives guidance in those areas to take correct steps in correct times to reap maximum benefits. Certain other things which are not sanctioned by God cannot be changed by you or any one else.

Years ago, if you were drawn to astrology, there was just one book on the shelf in the library. Today there is an overload of information through the innovation of the Internet. It can be overwhelming as well as difficult to wade through all the information to find the right fit for you.
