Astrology, which is popularly known as Jyotish in Indian culture, is derived from the Greek word, Astrologia, i.e. knowledge about the stars. Simply put, it is the study of the movement of stars, planets and other celestial bodies in the Universe and how this movement can influence an individual's life. The study of Astrology Signs is touted as an amalgamation of scientific theories and divine practices. Mathematical and geometrical interpretation of the position of planets and stars brings the application of science in the spotlight whereas the prediction of future events and occurrences on the basis of the stars is essentially divination at work.

  History of Astrology

Astrology is the oldest study that throws light on Universe and initially was the sole medium to go into the unfathomable world of stars and planets. The Mother of all Divination, as it is rightly called, finds its origin in 4000 BC. It is believed that the concept of Western Astrology was introduced to the world by Babylonians and Egyptians. However, the oldest form of Astrology Horoscopes finds its route from China and India.
