Astrology for a large pool of people is considered non-sense and superstitious. But when we take a deep look into it, we can understand the science behind it. Everyday we come across different situations which are not upon us to control. On most occasions we ask ourselves, "Why it happened to me?" Horoscopes of different zodiacal signs hold answers to all such questions.

Horoscope serves as a stylized map based on different celestial bodies like Sun, Moon, and Planets etc. The charts are usually geocentric with the actual planets placed on their places. Along with the actual planets, some calculated factors like lunar nodes, house cusps, including the ascendant, fixed stars etc are also plotted. Here lies the role of an astrologer to obtain a detailed horoscope out of this chart.

The zodiacal signs have greater scope than telling about the unforeseen incidents in the future. It acts as a tool to know the personalities of people we meet in our lives. These signs were established on the basis of 12 divisions of the sky. Then each zodiac sign was named after constellation that existed in its section. And each zodiac sign has its unique set of strength, weakness, talents and qualities.

In astrology, the zodiac signs is determined by the date of birth. This is because the birth date of a person plays a crucial role in determining the point of rising sun or ascendant during your birth. Once the ascendant has been found it will show the awakening consciousness of a person. It is similar to that of sun rising in the sky. It is the astrologer’s accuracy of calculation that can help to determine the ascendant sign.

Since determining ascendant sign is explicitly dependent on the time place, it gives an idea about the environment where a person has been brought up. Hence ascendant sign also helps to understand how a person will present himself before others.

The nature of astrology changes with the demographic region. In case of Chinese horoscope the five basic elements (water, wood, metal, earth and fire) are considered the pillars of astrology. Since these five elements constitute all the matter, they are combined to create 12 different animals. These animal signs form the zodiac signs in Chinese horoscope.

One might ask, "What is the reason behind knowing my fate if I can’t change it?" Well, the scope of astrology doesn’t end in predicting your destiny and describing your fate. It also heals you and provides solution to improve your misfortune through the gemstones. These healing stones have power to influence the positive energy in the life of the wearer. The positive influence of these healing stones can only be experienced through clean, untreated and proportionally cut gemstones. Otherwise the converse can occur giving a negative energy into the life of wearer.
