What Is Astrology?
Astrology is the art and science of interpreting and sometimes forecasting events by observing and interpreting fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets.
There are many benefits to this art including personal, life, and relationship advantages.
Astrology can help you solve issues in your life and increase your understanding of trends, patterns and coming events. It can help you find the right mate and avoid relationship problems and difficulties.
But perhaps the single greatest advantage of Astrology is that it can teach you an amazing insight into yourself. It can give you genuine self-understanding that you can use to create a better, happier, more fulfilled self and a more successful and effective life.
