Astrology is the art and science of reading the planets and stars to discover one's destiny.
The horoscope is a map or chart showing the position of the Sun, the Moon, and planets at a particular moment. The chart for the time of your birth is called the natal horoscope or the birth chart. A correct interpretation of the birth positions reveals your abilities, handicaps, drives, fears and what will happen to your during your life.
Astrology can provide incredible keys to understanding one's self, but it requires an excellent astrologer to provide clear and simplistic answers to any problems with which you may be dealing. Obtaining information about your horoscope can give you insights and understanding of the reasons why you behave as you do.
When you have a reading of someone else's horoscope you can understand that person better. You can see and understand him or her more accurately. An understanding your own horoscope can give you a clearer understanding and acceptance of yourself, and you will better understand how to work with your natural abilities and inclinations..
When you have an x-ray taken, you still need to have some medical expert explain and interpret it for you. In the same way, once you have your horoscope drawn up, either by a computer or a real astrologer, you still need to have it explained to you. Even if you are not going to read your own chart, you still should become familiar with the twelve signs, the houses and the planets, so that you can better understand what the astrologer is trying to tell you.. The chart on the symbols page will be a major help.
After you have obtained your horoscope charts and begun to gain an understanding of the placements, you will want to move on to learn about the Sun, the Moon and the meaning of each planet in its sign and house.
