Horoscopes
Horoscopes and astrology, which is a
Greek word that means “Science of Stars”, are both considered one of the most
ancient philosophies still in existence nowadays. Some people estimate them to
be more than 3,000 years old although some recent studies place them much more
years ago.
It
is said that people became interested on Astrology when they noticed how the
position of the stars and the planets influenced the seasons as well as the
planting cycles. Later on, they started to believe that this position could
also influence person’s life and future events, and that these could be
predicted by studying the movements of the planets.
If we look at the sky, we’ll find
all the stars always appear in the same configurations called constellations.
But there are also other celestial objects called “travelling stars” because
they seem to be “travelling” across the celestial sphere. They are the moon,
the planets, and even the sun in old times. We found them on the sky within a
narrow belt called “zodiac”, and it is surrounded by an area called “zodiacal
belt”. Twelve zodiac constellations are placed along this belt: Aries, Taurus,
Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius
and Pisces. If you want to discover your horoscope you should know that the
year is divided in twelve sections called “signs”, so your sign will change
depending on the time of the year when you were born.
And after this brief introduction about the history of horoscopes,
let’s see the predictions for this week!
