Astrology Does not Deserve the Bad Reputation!

By Sathji Umanga


The Zodiac Constellations

What we know of astrology, at least today, is that it originated during the 7th Century BC with the Babylonian astronomers in Southern Iraq inside the Northern Hemisphere. They divided the band of sky how the Sun progressed in a single Earth year (365.25 days) into twelve equal sections. 3 sections had been attributed to every in the four seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.



Where Did the Zodiac Names Arrive From?

These twelve sections have been named after the ring of constellations that lined the sky how the Sun moved through. They're known as the Zodiac Constellations. The names were derived from Latin and the Greek zodiac which meant "circle of animals".

When Does The Zodiac Year Begin?

Section quantity a single begins the very first day of Spring that may be called the Vernal Equinox (Latin for Spring). All other Zodiac dates shift accordingly to this time. Right here dates are adjusted for 2009.

Spring section is heralded by the Vernal or Spring Equinox March 20, 2009

1. Aries / The Ram / March 20-April 19

2. Taurus / The Bull / April 19-May 20

3. Gemini / The Twins / Might 20-June 21

Summer section is announced by the Summer Solstice June 21, 2009

4. Cancer / The Crab / June 21-July 22

5. Leo / The Lion / July 22-August 23

6. Virgo / The Virgin / August 23-September 22

Fall section is proclaimed by Autumnal Equinox September 22, 2009

7. Libra / The Scales / September 22-October 23

8. Scorpio / The Scorpion or Eagle / October 23-November 22

10. Capricorn / The Goat / December 21-January 20

11. Aquarius / The Water Bearer / January 20-February 18

12. Pisces / The Fishes / February18-March 20 (Spring Equinox)

Not All Constellations Are Equal

Now here's in which Astrology gets a bad rep. It's accused of not becoming scientific. Please notice, I stated each with the twelve equal sections had been named after 1 of these constellations. I did not say the Sun moved through every of these constellations each or through any a single constellation even in 30.43 days. For example, what we now know may be the Aries constellation is ranked in size as variety 39 out with the 88 constellations found today. Virgo is ranked quantity 2. The Sun did not improve its movements to go super slow through Section 1 or Aries and then speed via section 9 or Virgo in 30.43 days also.

The Earth Was Flat

We have learned a lot simply because that time. For example, at that time the Earth was noticed as flat. Earth didn't move, a smaller amount revolve around the Sun. Venus was thought being two stars, one inside morning and 1 at night.

Sun Keeps Moving On Eastward

The Sun doesn't repeat the same path during the sky once Earth starts its new year of revolving close to it. The Sun continues to moves eastward in its revolution on the center in the Milky Way. In fact, the Sun is now progressing in the Pisces Constellation instead of the Aries Constellation over 2500 many years ago.

However, the band of sky the Sun travels through in our Earth year is approximately the exact same distance, even now divided to the twelve sections keeping the exact same Zodiac names.

Sun Signs and Seasons

A person born during the time the Sun passes through one of those people sections is given that Sun sign name. For example, somebody born under Section A single would have the Sun sign of Aries the Ram.

Not surprising every of these sections as well as the individuals born during people times have characteristics and modes of expression that are significantly in alignment of the seasons themselves. For example, someone born within the First section, an Aries Sun sign leads the way, is always pioneering new beginnings.

Why Not Have it All?

Why not understand to embrace and develop the characteristics of each of these sections or signs as the Sun travels through them? Why if you stay stuck in only a single sign? Which is like saying, "I was born in spring and I only wish to embrace the energies of spring and develop its characteristics. Forget Summer, Fall and Winter! I do not desire to do various activities, develop other qualities or modes of expression." Why not have it all?

Develop Yourself Naturally

Why not develop yourself inside a structured way that is in alignment with nature itself. Then you don't must discover from 1 crisis right after another. Instead, permit a cosmic tailwind speed you on your way, producing what comes naturally.

Never Boring, Always Some thing New

What keeps it compelling and never boring? The Earth's rotation will be the exact same yearly around the Sun, so there is sameness to the characteristics of these twelve sections. However, as the Sun is continually moving forward via a new band in the heavens, there's also newness within each of these twelve divisions yearly. That will hold you on your toes, just whenever you believe you have got it, there is one thing new to stimulate you.
