    Nearly all astrological traditions is based on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies as well as the construction of calculated or perceived celestial patterns regarding the location and time of an event.

    A reference frame for your positions of astrological planets, stars, lunar nodes and so on is defined with the sidereal, or tropical zodiac containing twelve signs, along with the Midheaven in Aries. Twelve astrological houses define the neighborhood frame and astrological aspects determine the angular or geometric relationship between the celestial bodies as well as the angles contained in the horoscope.

    In Western tradition, predictive astrology uses two main methods, namely astrological transits and progressions. In astrological transit, the value of planet’s movements through space and horoscope is interpreted. In astrologigal progression, the horoscope is moved on in time according to set methods.

    Previously, celestial objects were closely observed as well as their movements charted. Modern astrologers transform data which can be provided by astronomers into sets of tables, the ephemerides. These show changing positions of celestial bodies inside the zodiac over time.

    Many traditions share features that are similar, due to a passing on of various beliefs and dctrines between carying cultures. Others, having developed isolated, may share a few of the features but they are based on different doctrines. As a rule, modern astrologers have a tendency to follow Chinese, Hindu or Western tradition, or even a combination of some or all of them.

    In the 20th Century, contact between traditions is now easier, and so closer and a few have taken benefit of this by permitting Western astrology to diversify in several ways. Among some, most of recent tradition makes way for other approaches, such as an approach from your psychological angle, or even a greater emphasis positioned on midpoints. Others may now include point- or star based along with constellational astrology. Throughout history, many changes and developments happened, and many traditions shall no longer be used. However, a number of of them, particularly Babylonian, Arab, Persian, Egyptian, Hellenistic (Classical antiquity), Hindu and Mayan astrologies, continue to be regarded as a point of interest along with important, useful resources by many people.

    Today, most Westen astrologers have a tendency to focus on general developments and trends, instead of forecasting actual events. They may use their skills to help and advise an individual by giving a look into a particular situation, the individual/ s involved as well as the general direction when the situation is heading. Personal birth charts give an understanding into a person’s likely personality and best possible matches both in career choice and relationships.

    Although it has never been scientifically proven, it’s been used and valued as an effective tool for guidance throughout many cultures and among millions of individuals for most thousands of years. Changes and new developments could very well have ocurred as time passes, as is the case with all things, but it’s still as useful and reliable an origin of information and insight since it was a thousand years back.
