Astrology has caught attention of many people. We often find some girls who assemble looking for a horoscope column in a magazine. They want to know what their zodiac says, how their characters are, or what will happen in their life. Sometimes, they have already known their own character but they are curious about the truth. So, they will always try to find out the truth of the information which they have read before. They will keep searching the information about their character through different sources. Further, they will prove whether the prediction happens or not.
Nowadays, astrology has been influenced by the technological development. People can find their comprehensions of their life through magazines and online. They also can consult with the astrologers who are provided by the magazines and some websites. Moreover, the way is simple which they can send some messages through cell-phone and email. Then, the astrologer answers their questions. In addition, astrology not only defines human’s characters but also gives information about love, health, and finance. Since they know their characters, they will accept themselves and be a better person. If they know the predictions, they will be careful to make a decision in their life.

There is no ending if we talk about astrology. In fact, astrology has existed since ancient era. At that time, people believed that astrology could help them to enjoy their life. They considered astrology as a belief which foresees the future and comprehends human’s characters. Astrologers believe that there is a connection between the position of heavenly bodies and human’s life. What happen with the planets affects us on Earth. Then, we know twelve zodiacs which shade us based on our birth date. The zodiacs give information and guide people’s life. Besides, people also find their understanding of their life through other ways such as palmistry and tarot. As we know, those things have relationship with astrology.



Astrology has a close connection with horoscope which has divided into twelve zodiacs or houses. It is determined based on a person’s birth date. The twelve zodiacs have each symbol and name. Indeed, the formation of celestial bodies influences the events in a person’s life. The zodiac roles are also affected by the planets excluding Earth. Since so, it causes different personalities or characters of a person. For instance, Mars is identical with god of war which represents ambition and competition. This planet shades Scorpio and Aries. Unlike those zodiacs, Taurus and Libra are affected by Venus which symbolizes the harmony and love.



Tarot is a set of cards which has a relation with astrology. The connection is in defining symbols and predicting the future. Seeking for guidance from tarot interpreter, we will find many signs of the card compositions. Then, it will be read to find the meaning. Besides, four suits in tarot also represent the four elements in astrology which are fire, water, air, and earth. Furthermore, each element has interpreted human’s character and soul. On the other hand, the way predicting the future through tarot is different from through horoscope. Unlike horoscope which defines the future based on the position of heavenly bodies, tarot interprets symbols and connects it to human’s life.



The other relation line of astrology comes to palmistry. Palmistry has not a connection as close as horoscope with astrology. The connection is in the case of predicting the future. Besides, it also defines events in human’s past and present by analyzing a person’s palm. In the analysis, a palmist not only takes a look at lines on someone’s palm but also at markings, fingers formation, and color of the palm. After that, the palmist can interpret the characters, and predict the future. Sometimes, a palmist also asks the birth date of his/her ‘patient’. He/she may relate the prediction or information with one’s zodiac. It may be helpful for him/her by knowing one’s birth date.

Everyone may have different perception about astrology from others. People may believe and do not believe the astrology prediction. But, it is fact that many people are interested in it. There are so many people want to know and prove whether the prediction happens or not.

Beside finding the information from horoscope, they also can go to a palmist and a tarot interpreter to get the understanding of their life. It is because those ways are connected to astrology. If they find a good thing in the prediction, they tend to accept and take as motivation. But when they find a bad thing, they take it as a warning so they will be careful to make a decision in their life. Hopefully, knowing astrology interpretation influences them to be a better person.
