Astrology is the investigation and explanation of the effects of celestial bodies on human character and destiny. It is derived from the Greek words 'astro', meaning star, and 'logos', meaning knowledge. Just as Feng Shui examines and interprets the effects of earthly objects and designs on human life and living, astrology investigates and informs about the effects of celestial bodies that shape human character and guide their lives. Astrology has never been the art or science of fortune-telling.
Fortune-telling also falls into sorcery, which is never related to astrology. Astrology claims it can inform you about what kind of influences you might find yourself under in the future. In astrology, these are called transit effects. Transit means passage, so transit effects are the influences of planetary movements on human life. These effects are related to how the planets interact with your Natal Chart. In Astrology, these are called Aspects.
Astrology does not tell what the future will bring or what the future will be. Astrology claims to explain what kind of influences individuals will be under in the future.
According to astrology, human character is formed at the moment a child is born and takes its first breath. The child's destiny and character are shaped according to what the position of the Sky shows at that moment.
The concept of destiny is evaluated in astrology as follows. A person has a character structure. In addition to this, celestial influences (Natal Chart), terrestrial influences (Feng Shui), Family, the country of birth, the city or village of birth have a great effect on character formation. All these components constitute a very important place in the interpretation of the Natal Chart. The Natal Chart requires interpretation within the framework of all these components. Therefore, for the astrologer to be able to analyze these components, they need to be in direct contact with that person in order to interpret the Natal Chart correctly.
Astrology is not the sole influence on human character and life. Astrology accepts the influences of our DNA, mother, father, the country they were born in, and their lifestyles on human life and character. The potential effects seen in the natal chart are very closely related to the environment and locations where the person was born, grew up, lived, and is present. However, there is no scientific evidence for the existence of this effect.
