Astrology, or astrology (ASTROLOGY), is an art in which astrologers observe celestial bodies, the positions of the sun, moon, and stars and their changes, and then interpret them to predict various things in the world.
Astrology believes that celestial bodies, especially planets and constellations, predict changes in everything in the world in some causal or non-accidental way.
The theoretical basis of astrology exists in ancient Greek philosophy of about 600 years between 300 BC and 300 AD, which combined astrology with the celestial "omens" of the ancient Mesopotamians, astrologers
It is believed that the movements and changes of certain celestial bodies and their combinations are specifically related to the emergence and demise of the four elements of fire, air, water and earth on the earth.
The complexity of this connection reflects the complexity of the ever-changing human world.
This ever-changing human world cannot yet be grasped by the world, so it is easy for astrologers to find excuses for any mistakes they make.
Astrology has different views on the role of God.
Some people believe that the universe is entirely mechanical, and they reject both possibilities of divine intervention and human free will.
Others believe that astrology is not a precise science like astronomy. It can only point out the development trend of things, and this trend can be controlled by the will of man or God.
Others believed that the planets themselves were powerful gods whose will could be changed through prayer, and that the stars revealed God's will only to those who were versed in astrology.
The latter view is very close to the thinking of the ancient Mesopotamians. They mainly predicted to the court the upcoming blessings and disasters, which may affect the growth of humans, animals and plants in the form of weather or disease.
, or to influence national events or the lives of royal members in some way, and so on.
But they believe that celestial omens do not determine the future of things, but only serve as a sign to show people God's will.
The original purpose of astrology was to predict a person's life destiny based on the positions of the planets and zodiac signs when they were born.
Later, it developed into several branches. One specializes in studying the relationship between major celestial phenomena (such as solar eclipses or the emergence of vernal equinoxes) and human beings, which is called general astrology; one chooses auspicious moments for action, which is called timing astrology; the other
It's called casuistic astrology, and it answers the question based on the celestial phenomena at the time the question is asked.
Astrology originated from the celestial omens of the ancient Mesopotamians.
From the 18th century BC to the 16th century BC, in the ancient Babylonian dynasty, the first book with wedge-shaped characters that classified celestial omens appeared.
From the 6th to the 4th century BC, the theory of celestial omens was introduced to Egypt, Greece, the Near East and India.
Later it was spread to Central Asia through Indian monks.
Since the 3rd century BC, some people have mathematicalized the concepts corresponding to the large and small universes.
The so-called "microcosm" refers to the human body.
They also further subdivided the zodiac and believed that the five stars have their own primary and secondary roles in different arcs of the zodiac.
The influence of a certain star on people is determined by the arc it is in and its relationship with other enemy and friend arcs.
The twelfth house corresponds to specific parts of the human body, and the ever-changing material world and human personality are also related to the twelfth house to some extent.
Astrologers calculate the influence of the planets based on the coordinates of the sun, moon, five stars and the twelve zodiac signs at a given moment, as well as the complex geometric relationships between them, and then use the astrological horoscope to find out the relationship between the above factors and the earth.
The correspondence between events leads to astrological results.
This result is sometimes contradictory, which requires the astrologer to reconcile it based on the situation of the seeker and the astrologer's own experience.
By the 1st century AD, the above methods had been finalized.
Greek astrology was also introduced to India, Iran, and into Islamic culture.
After the 17th century, with the establishment of the heliocentric theory and the rise of modern science, astrology lost scientific support.
But in recent years, astrology has begun to rise again in the West. Some people are also trying to introduce the recently discovered outer planets into astrology, and trying to find the statistical relationship between planetary positions and human life.
The origin of Aries (3/21--4/19) In an ancient and distant country, the king and the queen divorced due to their discordant personalities, and married another woman. Unfortunately, the new queen was naturally jealous and could not marry her.
Enduring the king's love for the two children left by his ex-wife, the evil conspiracy gradually took shape in her mind.
Spring is coming, and it is the season of sowing and farming. The new queen will send the fried wheat to unsuspecting farmers across the country.
Of course, wheat that is already ripe will not germinate no matter how much watering or fertilization is applied.
The farmers who were kept in the dark were puzzled.
At this time, the new queen spread rumors about wheat, claiming that the reason why wheat could not germinate was because the country was cursed. The curse was all due to the evil thoughts of the prince and princess, which aroused the wrath of heaven and caused the gods to
