Know Your Zodiac To Know Your Horoscope For Today

Astrology is prevalent in all parts of the world and often holds an important position in the lives of many. For example, in India when a child is born, a Vedic birth chart is prepared taking into consideration the time and place of birth. In day-to-day life, many of us turn to the sections in newspapers which read ‘horoscope for today.’

What is astrology?

Astrology is the interpretation of the language of heavenly bodies. Astrologers believe that the positions of the sun, moon, and planets have an effect on the life of humans as well as regions.

Every one of us, at some point in life, wants to know about the future and it is this curiosity that makes people turn to astrologers. On a minor level, people turn to daily horoscopes to know how they are going to fare on a particular day. People turn to astrologers for specific needs which could be an astrological career prediction, health prediction, etc.

Three Major Types of Zodiac Readings

Astrology is something with the capacity to lay down your entire life before you. When it comes to zodiac sign, there are three main types. 

• Western astrology: This is the most popular type probably because it is the easiest to figure out. All that you need to know is your birth date. Every zodiac has a particular date range assigned to it.
• Indian astrology: This could be Hindu, Jyotish, or Vedic, but the zodiac signs are more or less similar to Western astrology. The difference here lies in the positions of the zodiac signs in the sky since Hindu astrology takes into consideration the movement of the stars.
• Chinese astrology: This form of astrology is quite different from the Western and Indian which does not involve heavenly objects. The zodiacs here are named after animals with one animal, or zodiac, ruling an entire year.

No matter which stream of astrology you follow the purpose will always be the same. It could be a Vedic birth chart or one based on Western astrology, but if referred to a qualified astrologer, you are sure to learn a lot about your life and possibly give it a proper direction.
