Western Astrology
Western astrology rooted in ancient Babylonian and Greek traditions, examines the influence of celestial bodies on human behavior and events. It utilizes the tropical zodiac, dividing the ecliptic into 12 equal parts, each representing a zodiac sign. Character analysis and psychological insights are central to its approach, focusing on the Sun’s position at the time of birth. Birth charts, or horoscopes, are created to provide insights into personality traits and life patterns. Aspects, angular relationships between planets, play a significant role in interpretation. Western astrology is often used for self-reflection, compatibility analysis, and general guidance. It continues to be popular in Western cultures and has evolved over centuries. The interpretations of Western astrology are diverse and may vary among practitioners. Despite criticism, it remains a prominent aspect of popular culture and spirituality.
