Bewitched By The Stars

By Teodora Atanasova

Astrology may not be a Science, but there are a major amount of believers, who believe in superstitions, all over the world. Under this section, you will be able to read all about the different zodiac signs and the role astrology plays, in people's lives

Even though it is nothing more than a pseudo science, many fans believe in Astrology. Many are of the opinion that astrology has helped them alter the course of their destiny. There are those that scorn at the very idea. Astrology should be a subject for people, who believe wholly in what the signs have to predict, to help them make their future decision.

Astrology bases its conclusions, from strategic points of the planets and other heavenly bodies, the position of the stars and constellations, in the sky. They take into account the time of birth, which, according to them, is very crucial in astrology. We come under one of the 12 zodiac signs that represent every month, depending on which one month, we are born.

Astrology has been around since time immemorial. It has been practiced from ancient times and is not something new. There is an aura of mystery that enshrouds this form of art. It remains one of the most powerful factors that influence people's lives. There is an element of mystery that makes it even more interesting, as it stirs up people's curiosity.

The 12 Signs of the Zodiac The word Zodiac means a "circle of animals" literally. There are 12 signs of the Zodiac. These are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Based on the position of the Sun during a person's birth, they are said to belong to a particular zodiac sign. In astrology, it is believed that the zodiac sign offers a glimpse into the character, personality traits, strengths & weaknesses, like & dislikes and the aptitude of a person.

One of the interesting pieces of information that astrology deals with, is the love angle in a person's life. All zodiac signs have a compatibility rate with each other. People check out this compatibility ratio, to see if their relationship will be smooth sailing or not in future.

One of the most sought after piece of information using the zodiac is predictions about a person's love life. It is believed that certain zodiac signs are compatible with others. Therefore the premise is that two people will be more compatible in a relationship if their zodiac signs are compatible too.

There are others who scoff at these ideas and feel that astrology in only for spineless people who need to blame their good or bad fortune on something else as a way of escape to being accountable for their success or failure in life. They feel that people who believe in astrology are irrational and are not capable of thinking in intelligent terms. Whatever the consensus, there are still a large number of people who are superstitious and still believe in the power of the stars on the course of their lives.
