Astrology Reading – Learn Basics of Astrology – Part I

It has been established over the
ages that the planets, right up there in the

solar system have a formidable influence on human life. The thinking and
behavior patterns of human beings, and that the turn of events in his/her life
is largely shaped by the stars in our galaxy.
 
The Sun and the planets have the
greatest and most immediate influence on the

Earth's atmosphere and environment because the Earth is a part of the solar
system.
Astrology is a combination of Science and Metaphysics. To make a map and erect a
horoscope from the birth particulars is a scientific process requiring
considerable expertise, skill and application.
 
The Zodiac consists of 360
degrees of an arc which is divided into 27 Constellations. We have also to judge
the goods or evil relations of the planets with the constellations and their
Lords. These Constellation Divisions come in handy while analyzing the results
of transits of planets through these constellations. But the entire calculation
is carried out on the basis of scientific principles and time tested theories
