AS THE EARTH MOVES

AROUND THE SUNS
THROUGHOUT A CALENDAR
YEAR, WE SEE DIFFERENT
CONSTELLATIONS.THE SIGN
OF ZODIAC INDICATES THE
CONSTELLATIONS THAT IS
BEHIND THE SUN DURING A
CERTAIN DATE.

IN LATE APRIL, FOR EXAMPLE,

WE DO NOT SEETHE
CONSTELLATION ARIES; HENCE,
THE CONSTELLATION ARIES LIES
BEHIND THE SUN. IN ASTROLOGY,
A CERTAIN CONSTELLATION IS
BELIEVED TO INFLUENCE ANY
PERSON BORN WITHIN THE
RANGE OF DATES COVERE BY THE
CORRESPONIDNG SIGNSD OF THE
ZODIAC.

HOROSCOPE
- THE PREDICTIVE CHARTS OF LIFE, IN PREDICTING FUTURE EVENTS IN THE
LIFE OF A PERSON AND IN DESCRIBING THE PERSONALITY OF A PERSON.

OTHER BELIEF ABOUT CONSTELLATION:

FOR EXAMPLE, CAPRICORNUS, FOR
EXAMPLE, WAS GIVEN THE FORM OF A
MOUNTAIN GOAT BECAUSE, 4,000 YEARS
AGO, THIS CONSTELLATION WAS CLIMBING
HIGH INTO THE SKY AS THE SUN WAS
REACHING ITS GREATEST HEIGHT. IT WAS
ALSO THE START OF THE RAINY SEASON, SO
THE CHALDEANS ADDED A FISH'S TAIL, AND
CAPRICORNUS BECAME THAT MYTHICAL
BEAST, THE SEA-GOAT.

PREDICTIONS OF ASTROLOGERS HAVE

NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS. IN MOST CASES,
PREDICTIONS OF ASTROLOGERS FAIL.
IT FOLLOWS THAT PREDICTIONS THAT
COME TRUE HAPPEN MERELY
CHANCES. IN HOROSCOPES,
DESCRIPTIONS ABOUT THE
PERSONALITIES OF PERSONS ARE SO
GENERALIZED THAT DIFFERENCES IN
THE PERSONALITIES OF PERSONS
HAVING THE SAME SIGN OF ZODIAC
ARE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR.

ASTROLOGERS VIEW
ALIGNMENT OF PLANETS AS
FORETELLERS OF DISASTERS.
A NUMBER OF ASTROLOERGS
BELIEVED THAT THE END OF
THE WORLD WOULD BE ON
DECEMBER 21, 2012, THE DAY
SIX PLANETS ALIGNED, BUT
NO END OF THE WORLD TOOK
PLACE.
