Understanding Astrology Predictions
Astrological Predictions are as complex in nature as many other forms of predictions or prophesy. Looking into 2015 and predictions for 2016 many people turn to astrology to see what may be heading our way in the months and years to come. While individual astrological predictions are made on the basis of a birth chart, and the relation to various planetary movements, it is more complex to predict things in which a birth chart is not available. When astrologers cannot locate a birth time they often resort to resources that may prove inaccurate or make assumptions that can change the outlook by considerable margin. If looking at the astrological chart of a business one can make a chart on the day the idea was born, or when the paperwork was filed, or when the doors first opened, all of which may be months apart and have very different charts associated with it.
Astrology is a very complex science and having a shallow understanding of it is not sufficient to make accurate predictions. Astrological predictions are an age old practice that was prevalent even in ancient civilizations. Today there are numerous types of Astrology and nobody knows which is more accurate or correct. Chinese astrology, and Vedic astrology are practiced in the east and are perhaps the most accurate, however western astrology is more popular in the West and is also being taught in the east. These differences and the complexity of Astrology makes finding an astrologer capable of giving valuable predictions more difficult to find.
One must consider first doing a full and complete chart of the person, place, business, or object for which predictions will be made. Armed with a full chart you can then see if the aspects, characteristics, and dynamics of the chart match that of the person or object of study. Once a match is established find an astrologer who has studied and made a living using astrology and astrological predictions, then and only then do you have a good chance of getting predictions that match the possibilities for the future.
These predictions are never set in stone as we live in a world of free will and ever changing circumstances. Since most people are interested in astrological predictions of their love life, the stock market and their money chances are you will find an astrologer who can shine some light on these aspects of their life. The nature of astrology for making predictions can be a useful and powerful tool however…
Understanding Modern Chinese Astrology
Do you think you understand Astrology, perhaps western, Vedic, or the Chinese system? The Chinese astrology system is at least 700 years old and perhaps much older. Based on the lunar calendar, Chinese astrology is similar to other forms of astrology, in that it is related to the positions of the stars and planets for each of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The Chinese astrology system uses the persons birthdate to assign an animal and is based on the Chinese calendar.
The Twelve Chinese Signs are:
Rat
Characteristics: in contrast to our normal beliefs these zodiac rats are sweet, charming, and attractive to the opposite sex. But despite outside appearances, they are restless and this may show in the form of agitation and aggressiveness. Rats are commonly smart with their money, and love to pounce on an opportunity. They are also very generous to their friends. They love people and large gatherings and always like to have others around, (party rats?). They choose to get involved in many social circles, have numerous interest and like to be involved in everything possible. They are often good communicators, writers and speakers, and success comes easily to them, but sometimes at the expense of others.
Ox
Oxen characteristics are usually calm on the surface, but they can have hidden tempers. They are hard workers and are determined to the point of stubbornness. (sounds like this matches the animal) Ox are honorable and dependable signs. They are trustworthy, and steady people that choose to follow a straight path. They are not as outgoing as others and often choose work over play, they have a lackluster social life. Ox are simple and perhaps somewhat gullible creatures at heart and can fall victim to scams, sales pitches, and bad romance. When matched with a partner they are mostly truthful and loyal and although they may not be one to surprise you they will always be there when you need them.
Tiger
Tigers are energetic and unpredictable, they possess a wild side that often has them at the center of attention. They have little fear to speak their mind and are constantly looking for the next adventure or opportunity. Tigers are passionate about what they believe in. They are usually generous and honest and willing to fight for their cause. they are emotional and impulsive, although they often find romance, restlessness, recklessness and other behaviors like jealousy, may lead them to struggle with their relationships.
Rabbit
