About astrology and the horoscope
- You may be at the stage of asking, "What is a horoscope?" What is astrology all about? If so, you're going to find the answers here. To begin, the horoscope is a map that appears as a two dimensional chart. It shows the position of the Sun, the Moon, and planets at the precise moment of your birth. The Sun, the Moon, and the planets are frozen in their position at that initial moment of birth. That is why this type of horoscope is known as the birth chart, astrology chart, or the natal chart. This chart becomes the basis for all that follows.
A correct interpretation of these birth positions, your astrology horoscope, exposes much about you. It can be thought of as the "hand" that has been "dealt" in life. This doesn't suggest that your life has already been decided. An astrology horoscope can never show how you are going to "play" this hand. It's largely up to you to decide that. While you usually have the freedom of choice or free will, the horoscope does reflect the natural inclinations you have, the lessons you have to learn, the issues to be faced, and the problems to be solved. It may be thought of as merely an abstract formula showing the energies you've been given, or perhaps tasked. The use that you make of these energies, or opportunities, if you will, depends upon you, the individual.
Astrology can provide incredible keys to understanding of those around you, but it doesn't necessarily provide clear and simplistic answers to any problems with which you may be dealing. Obtaining information about your horoscope may give you some insights and understanding of the reasons why you behave as you do.
To have the horoscope of another revealed allows the reader to understand that person better. You can see and understand him or her more accurately, objectively, and with a much greater tolerance. Understanding your horoscope may allow you to more clearly understand and accept yourself, and therefore do what you can with your natural attributes.
Free Astrology Information Available hereThis site is a little bit like a textbook on astrology. It has a lot of chapters and much detail. First, you'll need to get a copy of your horoscope or natal chart. There are a number of sites online that offer free horoscope charts. A good site for providing a free chart is http://www.astro.com/. This site is largely devoted to selling you a reading, but their chart service is very good. You'll need to provide your name, date of birth, the time of birth (preferrably from your birth certificate) and the place of birth, like city/state. If you have trouble figuring it out, you can write to me at michael @ netNumerology.com providing ALL of the info mentioned above, and I will try to prepare a chart for you as time permits. Remember, I live in the US where we do the date different than most of the rest of the world. Here the date is usually submitted as MM-DD-YYYY. I may be a little slow getting these out if I get very many requests.
After you obtain a copy of your horoscope, you will be ready to dive into the many mini readings that will begin to draw a special word picture unique to you or the individual whose chart you are focusing on today.
A new detailed table of contents is provided linking you to all of the astrology pages here.
I hope you enjoy you visit. If you do, please tell a friends and/or link us up to the social network of friends. Thank you.
