What's the difference between astrology and astronomy? |
Astrology is the Zodiac, a person who studies this is called an astrologer. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
Western astrology originated in Mesopotamia during the 2nd millennium BC, from where it spread to much of the world. |
 |
Mesopotamia was between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, largely corresponding to modern Iraq. |
| |
After spreading to Egypt, where further developments occurred, it then arrived into Greek or Hellenistic culture, where the Greek astronomer and astrologer Ptolemy in his work Tetrabiblos laid the foundations of the Western tradition. |
 |
 |
During the Dark Ages in Europe, knowledge of astrology was lost along with much other learning. |
 |
The Dark Ages is a period after the fall of the Roman Empire, approximately 476 AD. |
Astrology was revived and extended by Arab and Persian scholars and re-imported into Europe in the Middle Ages. In medieval Europe, important political and military decisions were often made in consultation with astrologers. |

Aries - The Ram - March 21 – April 20 |
 |
You are bright and hard working, most comfortable working by yourself, love to be the first to discover and present things to the world, and rarely allow others to dominate you. |
|
 |
Taurus - The Bull - April 21 – May 21 |
 |
You will be a peaceful happy soul for the most part, but it will not take very long before you are one of the most stubborn signs in the zodiac. Once motivated, you will work very hard and seldom do anything foolish without thinking through the consequences first. |
|
 |
Gemini - The Twins - May 22 – June 23 |
 |
You are verbally skilled and often love music, but there is an underlying hunger in you. It is as if you are searching for something, some missing piece of your life. Perhaps it is that endless search for some unattainable element that makes you who you are. |
|
 |
Cancer - The Crab - June 23 – July 22 |
 |
You are not shy. If your feelings are hurt, you will tell others. You do not hide it away and let it build up until you explode. You let off little bits of steam as needed. If you disagree with others, then you will tell them. If you love someone, you tell them. If you think someone's outfit looks awful on them, then you will tell them. You speak their mind openly and honestly but never from a place of wanting to hurt someone. |
|
 |
Leo - The Lion - July 23 – August 23 |
 |
You write some people off as losers in a heartbeat and will probably never change your mind. Even if you did find out later that you were wrong about them, you would still blame them for having misrepresented themselves. You are incredible leaders with a charisma and charm that is unlike any other. |
|
 |
Virgo - The Virgin - August 24 – September 22 |
 |
You are neat, organized, and have a gentle sense of humor that people will enjoy. You are rarely hateful and mean. You will give and give yourself without really allowing anyone else into your inner world, because you really do not know how to connect on a deeper level. |
|
 |
Libra - The Scales - September 23 – October 23 |
 |
You simply want to shop, dine by candlelight, and talk your ear off. You fight for justice and will make sure that the underdog gets his day of glory. You are brilliant and often have a mission in mind. |
|
 |
Scorpio - The Scorpion - October 24 – November 22 |
 |
You rule the house of sharing. You are the stewards of sharing money, resources and love. It is your deepest most spiritual need to be completely connected, loved, and sharing from the depth of your soul. It is from this place that you are so easily hurt. Wounded Scorpios are a force to be reckoned with and yes, you are famously ruthless and cruel. |
|
 |
Sagittarius - The Archer - November 23 – December 21 |
 |
You are very intelligent. You like to know how things work and why they work. You can analyze the inner workings of just about everything. You are always friendly and bright. You are the sign of the eternal optimist. |
|
 |
Capricorn - The Sea goat - December 22 – January 19 |
 |
You know that you know everything about everything but you just cannot quite remember it at the moment. You do not want to let on to everyone around you that you do not have a clue what the others are talking about, so you simply wing it and join in with the belief that any minute now you really will know what is being discussed and will not appear foolish or stupid. |
|
 |
Aquarius - Water - January 20 – February 18 |
 |
You are popular and funny. You are natural leaders not from a place of wanting to lead but from a natural charisma, that simply attracts followers. You are eccentric and pride yourself on being unique individuals. |
|
 |
Pisces - The Fish- February 19 – March 20 |
 |
You're misunderstood and end up as a loner. You love people and have a deep desire to connect on a spiritual soul-to-soul level, but you end up protecting yourself behind walls for your own safety. People think you are soft and wishy-
washy but in reality, you are quite stubborn and from birth to grave, you remain true to yourself. |
