What is astrology, and how does it work?

Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, and planets, and their influence on human affairs and natural world. It is a pseudoscience that believes that the positions and movements of celestial bodies at the time of a person's birth can have an impact on their personality, relationships, and future events.

There are several types of astrology, including Western, Vedic, Chinese, and Mayan. Western astrology, which is the most popular type in the Western world, is based on the tropical zodiac and divides the year into twelve zodiac signs. Each zodiac sign corresponds to a certain set of personality traits and is associated with one of the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. Astrology uses a person's birth chart, which is calculated based on their birth time, date, and place, to determine the positions of the celestial bodies at the time of their birth.

Despite its popularity, astrology is not supported by scientific evidence. The movements and positions of celestial bodies do not have a measurable effect on human affairs or the natural world. However, many people find astrology to be a fun and interesting way to gain insight into their own personalities and the personalities of others.
