What is Astrology?

Astrology is the study of the position of the astral bodies and their relevance in the lives of human beings and other events on earth. Astrology studies personal nature, physical traits, reasons behind the occurrence of certain events, and the destiny of man. Astrology is represented by the Astrological Signs.
The word Astrology has a Greek origin. It is derived from the words ‘astron’-meaning star, and ‘logos’, meaning study or discipline. Although Astrology and Astronomy share a lot of common ground, yet the two subjects are different from each other. While Astronomy is the study and observation of the celestial bodies, Astrology studies their influence on primarily human beings and their nature.
The scholar who studies and practices astrology is called an Astrologer. The study of astrology requires in-depth knowledge about the origin of stars, planets, galaxies and their movements in space. Knowledge of mathematics is necessary to study the origin of stars, planets, galaxies and calculate their movements in space as also to prepare numerological charts and tables that give the coordinates of a celestial body at a number of specific times during a given period, and so on.
