There are quite a few astrology websites on the internet. There are also quite a lot that will give you daily forecasts for your Sun sign. There are many that will give you a detailed chart after you pay a fee.

I have seen very few, if any sites that have an explanation of what astrology is, and how it works. That is the purpose of this site.



The Study of the Sun, Moon, and Planets

and their influence here on Earth is called Astrology. The word astrology comes from the Greek words astron, meaning "star", and logos, which means "knowing". Astronomy, the scientific study of the stars, and astrology were closely linked for a long time. In the 17th century, scientific opinion split the two.



The Zodiac

Have you ever noticed when you look up in to the sky at night that the stars appear to form shapes and patterns? These patterns are known as constellations. The constellations relate to the twelve signs of the zodiac. The word "Zodiac" is Greek for "circle of life". Each constellation has a name that describes its shape in the sky, and human beings are said to take on the characteristics of the "Sun Sign" that they were born under.




... Purpose

"... Astrology places man in direct contact with the cyclic forces of nature, to which he may attune himself over and above the dissonances and inharmonies of other people and of society. It teaches him the rhythms of himself, in harmony with the observable rhythms of nature. It helps him to understand his own anxieties, failures and unhappinesses, whatever their origins may be, finally and fully in terms of himself and his own rhythm, which are replicas of the rhythms of nature. So it draws at last on the God-in-man, permitting him to see himself, not only as the creature of capricious mortal and human forces, but chiefly and most importantly as the reflection of the rhythms of nature, established and set in motion by the hand and heart of God."

also...

"The basic principle of astrology is that man can choose to develop his good and constructive qualities, rather than to indulge his bad and destructive ones; and that he can choose his times for action, rather than remain passive before the tides of circumstance."

Grant Lewi
Astrology for the Millions
1940, (from the 6th edition, printed 1996)
