Astrology is the ancient practice of studying the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as the planets, sun, and moon—and their influence on human affairs and natural phenomena. At its core, astrology is based on the belief that the alignment of these cosmic forces at the time of your birth can provide insights into your personality, behaviors, and life events. Key components of astrology include the 12 zodiac signs, the 12 astrological houses, and the planetary aspects, all of which work together to shape your unique astrological profile. Whether you’re exploring astrology for self-awareness, personal growth, or simply curiosity, understanding the basics can provide a deeper connection to the world around you and help unlock hidden potentials in your life.
