Birth
Charts, what are they?
A
Birth Chart (also known as a Horoscope) is really a diagram that
depicts the position of the planets in relation to the earth at
the time of birth of an individual, or even the time of any specific
event.
Around
the outside of the Birth Chart above within 12 segments (equidistant
in conventional Astrology or unequal in Huber Astrology which I
use), are the 12 Astrological Sun Signs in sequence. This is a portrayal
of the zodiac which the planets are seen to pass through in the
sky when viewed from Earth.
In
an inner circle is marked all the planets
in our Solar System (including the Sun and the Moon), they are portrayed
relative to the Zodiac.
In
the center of the chart are marked (coloured lines are only used
in Huber Astrology). These lines indicate a certain relationship
to each of the Zodiac signs and Planets. There various individual
interpretations are blended to form the unique character of the
individual or event.
the
origins
The
word Horoscope comes from the Greek word 'horoscopos' which means:
"I watch the rising" which is the ascending sign or point
in the zodiac that is rising over the horizon at the time the horoscope
is drawn.
in
your Horoscope
The
words "Horoscope and Horoscopes" are used in popular culture
to refer to a text relevant to each sun sign (or star sign), predicting
feelings and a period of future events, this text is derived from
the study of a Birth Chart.
Horoscopes
is just the plural form of the word which in popular culture has
come to represent a collection of Horoscopes one for each of the
12 Sun Signs, each offering a forecast text derived from studying
the chart for everyone of a particular Sun Sign.
Thus
your "Horoscopes" or "Star Signs" has become
embedded in popular culture as a text relevant for each Sun Sign
that "predicts" a given period of future events. This
is Sun Sign Astrology which though it can at times be quite uncanny
is really for fun and rather general, If you think this sums up
Astrology you are just scratching the surface.
A
skilled Astrologer interprets the positions of the planets and their
relationship to the 12 Astrological signs of the Zodiac. Each planet
has meaning, as do each of the signs. These meanings and their interpretation
is an art that is several thousand years old and based on long observation.
The position of the planets has also been subject to long observation
and can be predicted for past present and future.
In
a personal consultation with a professional Astrologer your individual
Horoscope will be fantastically more accurate than one crafted to
account for everyone of a certain Sun Sign!
