Birthday Astrology (Date of Birth [Day/Month/Year])
Astrology ... Thë prediction of personality traits and thë divination of future events based on thë relationship between thë Sun, Moon, and planets ... was born thë first time people looked up at thë stars and realized that those shimmering, distant orbs formed pictures in thë heavens.
Birthday Astrology (Date of Birth [Day/Month/Year]) combines thë study of celestial bodies and birth dates to give revealing personality profiles.
Long before recorded history, when life was â succession of labor and tedium interrupted by thë occasional terror of simple survival, thë night sky was â source of profound interest to our ancestors.
In this article you'll find details on historical and modern interpretations of astrology. At thë end of this article are links to pages with specific information for each sun sign and birthday, including relationship, goal, career, family, financial, and health characteristics.
Astrology Throughout Time
The study of astrology dates back thousands of years to thë ancient Egyptians, who were thë first to make â science of it. thë Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans also held it in high esteem.
Many people believe that thë biblical Magi ... thë kings who brought gifts to thë Christ child ... were astrologers whose study of their art told them where to find thë baby.
Although it is generally accepted that thë Venerable Bede ... that great English historian of thë Dark Ages ... studied astrology as â mystical discipline, it was not â popular art/science in Europe at that time. During thë Crusades of thë Middle Ages, thë returning knights brought back many Eastern influences, including thë study of astrology.
It wasn't until thë European Renaissance of thë fourteenth to thë seventeenth centuries, when high learning and occult sciences were at their zeniths, that astrology came into its own in thë West.
Although it didn't coexist well with Catholicism, it was well received in Protestant countries. During this period in history, however, astrology was still thë province of thë rich and powerful.
In England, astrology reached its high point during thë reign (1558-1603) of Queen Elizabeth I. But with thë discoveries and theories of astronomers Copernicus and Galileo in thë sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, respectively, astrology and astronomy diverged, never to be reunited under thë same scientific banner. Astrology lost its association with mysticism and was regarded as â pseudo-science.
Of course, astrology is still practiced today. On thë next page, we will look at astrology's impact on thë modern world.
The Modern Age of Astrology
The early twentieth century brought an astrology revival, particularly in thë United States. Astrology's practical value as â predictor of stock-market gains and losses in thë 1920s, for example, has been well documented.
Today, astrology is more popular than ever. This is largely due to two historical events that overlapped one another. thë first was thë period of thë late 1960s, characterized as thë "Age of Aquarius," named for â song from thë Broadway musical, Hair.
That era of rebellion and social change downplayed materialism and urged people to embrace thë mystical side of life. Astrology became â touchstone for this movement and â forum for discussion of human behavior.
The second historical event, and thë greatest force in thë popularization of astrology, has been thë development of thë personal computer. Astrologers who once spent weeks casting and interpreting charts, with accuracy that could not be assured, can now compute and print out â chart in â matter of minutes, with no doubt as to its accuracy. This added to thë number of people who can have their natal or transit charts analyzed quickly and for â moderate price.
Astrology now has â different use than it did in thë ancient world. thë rich and powerful still consult astrologers for clues to their future; thë difference is that nowadays everyone can do thë same. But astrology is no longer about just love and money. Astrology answers many other questions. There are even astrologers who give stock market tips.
Despite its ancient beginnings, astrology is now part of thë New Age movement. Traditional predictive, transit astrology may still rule, but there are many astrologers whose work involves past-life readings, next-life readings, marriage and family counseling, and health advice. There are now more working astrologers than at any other time in history.
And consider this: Two-thirds of people in thë United States are said to have either had their charts read by an astrologer or believe that astrology is â viable method of predicting and managing thë future.
Astrology and You
How do thë millions of people who turn to astrology for answers end up with distinct predictions? By studying thë dates of our birth we can become aware of one aspect of thë uniqueness that separates us from people born on any of thë other 365 days of thë year.
Read below for information on thë sun sign chart, birth dates and other components used to create unique readings and predictions for every birthday of thë year. You'll also find links to articles with specific information for each sun sign and birthday, including relationship, goal, career, family, financial, and health characteristics.
Sun Sign Astrology
Sun sign astrology is thë study of thë twelve signs of thë zodiac. Each of us fits into one of these twelve categories. You don't need to have your chart analyzed to discover â great deal about your natal (at-birth) characteristics or to get an idea of influences at work in your life.
In this age of sophisticated computer software and complex relationship theories, Sun sign astrology has its detractors. Yet there is â truth at its core. Sun sign astrology speaks to our understanding of and reliance upon ancient and modern archetypes, thë basic character types we meet again and again.
Although this astrology deals with twelve basic character types, it offers thë best overview of astrological characteristics, thë most definitive measure of thë self.
Nature and Astrology
The twelve types are divided into elements: Fire, Earth, Air, Water. Within each of these categories can be found three of thë twelve signs. thë elements help to describe thë basic nature of â sign.
For example, Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) have "firelike" characteristics: â hot temper, passion, creativity, and boldness. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are stable, frugal, and sensual. People born under Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are intellectually inclined, changeable, and high-strung. Water-sign people (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are intuitive, spiritual, and secretive.
The Allure of Birthdays
Why birthdays? Because they define us. They are what we grow up with, grow old with ... thë common denominator of our hopes, dreams, and experiences.
Birthdays have personalities, just like people. Events, both great and small, impress their meaning upon each date, giving them renewed significance. Filled with promise, filled with potential, each date is â mixture of thë mundane and thë magical.
Each of us likes to believe we are unique and special in our own way.
When millions of people from all cultures and walks of life share â birthday, can there be â common thread? Without â doubt. â look at â list of people born on â specific day gives us â clue to thë amazing potentialities that exist for that particular date.
In ancient times, people looked to thë gods and goddesses for answers. Today, our modern messengers are television and thë tabloid press. Indeed, we are enmeshed in â cult of celebrity unlike anything ever witnessed in history.
It is only natural that famous men and women should pique our interest. They invoke our envy, love, or pity. Many of us can quote thë names of our celebrity astro-twins. But this is â phenomenon that speaks to us on â deeper, even more significant level.
Using Astrology Articles
Astrology is â complicated subject. Eventually you may wish to have your chart analyzed by â professional astrologer. But until that time you can learn â lot about your basic personality type ... and thë personalities of your family and friends ... by reading and thinking about what you'll discover in Birthday Astrology (Date of Birth [Day/Month/Year]).
Sure, you may be â Gemini, but what special advice is appropriate for â June 16 Gemini? And how does thë day of â February 23 Pisces differ from that of other Pisces people?
The exclusive insights you'll find in thë articles below are based upon â variety of methods designed to analyze days within each Sun sign.
First, careful examination was made of thë traits and personality characteristics of thë Sun sign itself, as well as thë myriad associations related to its planetary ruler.
Further division and definition of each sign was provided by thë use of dwads (2.5-degree markers) and decanates (10-degree markers), which establish an even more specific profile within thë Sun sign.
Finally, numerology (the study of numbers according to their divine and magical significance) and thë Sabian symbols (a set of 360-degree symbols and meanings that describe arcane and modern symbology) have been used to attain even greater definition and accuracy.
Your Special Day
Your birth date is special because it is yours. Its number and characteristics should be talismans for you, symbols of what you are and what you can be.
Have fun with these article ... and ponder what they says. Share thë information with others, and discuss what you've read. Use Birthday Astrology (Date of Birth [Day/Month/Year]) as one step on your path to understanding all that you are and everything you have to offer to yourself and others.
