Astrology portal by world famous vedic astrologer Deepak Kapoor

Astrology is a belief system that suggests a connection between the positions and movements of celestial bodies (like planets, stars, and the moon) and events on Earth, including human life and personality. It dates back thousands of years, with roots in ancient civilizations such as Babylon, Egypt, and Greece. Astrology operates on the premise that the alignment of celestial bodies at the time of one's birth influences their character, behavior, and life path.

The central concept in astrology is the zodiac, which is divided into 12 signs. Each sign corresponds to specific personality traits and tendencies. These signs are based on the position of the Sun at the time of a person’s birth. The other planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, also play a significant role in shaping an individual's horoscope.

Astrologers use the birth chart, also known as a natal chart, to interpret the positions of the planets and their relationships (aspects) to one another. This chart can reveal insights about a person’s strengths, challenges, and potential future events.

Astrology is often used for personal guidance, predicting trends in relationships, career, health, and more. Though it is considered a pseudoscience by many due to the lack of empirical evidence supporting its claims, it remains popular in various cultures worldwide. Despite criticism, astrology continues to be a tool for self-reflection, with many people finding comfort in its interpretations and predictions.
