Astrology is a very ancient science. Even in ancient times, it was noticed that the date of birth can affect fate. If people are influenced by the same planet, their characters may be similar. Different cultures had their own peculiarities and types of horoscopes, but today only the most popular and universal versions remain. Want to know more about this? Join to read this publication.
What is a horoscope?
Translated from the ancient Greek language, the word "horoscope" means "spy on his term." Over the year, the sun makes a visible movement, forming a large circle of the celestial sphere (ecliptic). In each time period, one or another celestial body influences the Earth. Horoscope is a display of the position of the Sun, Moon and other planets on the ecliptic at a given moment.
Types of horoscopes will be presented below. It is curious that the ancient astrologers attached a different meaning to this word. In ancient Greece, a certain sign was referred to as a horoscope in relation to the ascending sign of the ecliptic.
How astrologers make their predictions
A horoscope can be built not only regarding the fate of a person or for the coming period. With its help, it will be possible to predict with certain accuracy the success of an event. It is enough to know the geographical coordinates and time of the event.
A horoscope is a peculiar projection of celestial bodies on a given section and time period. However, instead of the usual coordinates, it is customary to take into account the ecliptic longitude for an object. This value is expressed in angular degrees. Conventionally, the ecliptic is divided into a zodiac circle, which is divided into certain sectors. There are twelve of these sections, and each of them has thirty degrees. Now we will take a closer look at the types of horoscopes.
Natal
The word "natal" indicates that the horoscope refers to the exact date of birth of a person. It is made individually. To do this, you need to know not only the day, month and year of birth, but also the exact time in hours and minutes (a slight error is allowed), as well as the geographical coordinates of the small homeland.
It is believed that all types of horoscopes by date of birth most fully reflect the fate of the individual. The natal horoscope is able to open a person’s eyes to his potential, inclinations and some life circumstances.
Local horoscope
As you can guess, this horoscope does not depend on the place of birth, but on the person’s current place of residence. In order to build it, you also need to know the exact date of birth. Most often, people who want to change their place of residence resort to it. Thus, you can choose the best city for yourself or avoid mistakes in the event that the move will cause trouble.
Karmic
Astrologers usually build this kind of horoscope to find out exactly how past lives affect the current fate of a person. It is created by the ascending lunar node.
Thematic Horoscope
In this publication, we analyze in detail the types of horoscopes. Thematic ones, in particular, are built in order to more fully reveal the circumstances of life, its various spheres. So, for example, an ascending sign transferred to a degree of Venus, reveals the possibilities of love and romantic relationships. Mercury is responsible for intelligence and the implementation of professional skills.
Sinastric horoscope
This horoscope is made up in order to find out the compatibility of two subjects. Often used in choosing a partner for marriage.
Numerological
Modern science is universal, it has incorporated all the best ever created by great scientists and thinkers. Currently, there are more simplified horoscopes. Different types of mathematical calculi allow you to find out the fate of a person by digital and alphabetical code. The most popular method adopted as the basis of the numerological horoscope is the Pythagorean theorem. It is curious that this outstanding ancient Greek mathematician was also a mystic to everything else.
Chinese horoscope
If we consider the types of horoscopes by year, the eastern calendar remains the most popular source of information to this day. The Chinese horoscope is focused on the influence of the astronomical rhythms of Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon and is divided into twelve-year cycles. Astrologers make a generalized forecast for each of the twelve signs.
Egyptian horoscope
We know that there are types of horoscopes by year of birth (natal, local, Chinese). In ancient Egypt, astrologers could consider the hidden possibilities of man using short time spans for months. This is a rather complex system that has not taken root in modern society. If in the Chinese horoscope, the patrons of one or another sign are animals, then in Egypt every deity controls the time.
Zodiac signs
The modern zodiac circle was developed, simplified and introduced into use by the English astrologer Alan Leo at the very beginning of the 20th century. At first, he created horoscopes individually, but due to the large number of orders he was forced to bring his own calculations to a truncated form. It turned out that we are all happy to use to this day. The sign of the zodiac is focused on the influence of the Sun in relation to the natal horoscope. There are 12 in total. However, each new sign replaces the previous one not from the beginning of the month, but in the twenties.
