What is Astrology Horoscope?

Astrology has been there for centuries, because humans have always looked towards the heavens for guidance. Astrology is the study of the connection between the positions of the planets and stars and events on Earth. According to astrology, the positions of the Moon, Sun and planets at the time of an individual’s birth have a direct influence on that person’s character traits, behavior, and destiny.

Astrology can be used as a very powerful tool for understanding ourselves and the world around us better. A true astrological report takes into account not only the Horoscope signs, but the positions of all the planets of our solar system and other celestial bodies as well in relation to the a person’s birth time. When all these meanings are compiled, it becomes a very detailed description of a person’s profile.

On the other hand, a horoscope is an astrological chart that is calculated based on the person’s time, date and place of birth. A chart can also be calculated for a question, country, or an event. Astrologers study the natal charts and analyze the factors and patterns which describe a person’s personality.
