Individuals ascribing to astrological principles hold that celestial bodies influence terrestrial events and human affairs. This belief system posits correlations between the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars at the time of an individual’s birth and their personality, relationships, and future prospects. For example, someone born under the zodiac sign of Leo might be characterized as confident, generous, and ambitious, traits attributed to the perceived influence of the Sun in that constellation.
Historically, the practice provided a framework for understanding the world and individual place within it. Throughout various cultures and epochs, it served as a tool for predicting agricultural cycles, political events, and personal milestones. While not scientifically validated, this perspective continues to offer a sense of meaning, purpose, and self-understanding to many adherents.
