What is Astrology?

The word astrology comes from the early Latin word astrologia, which derives from the Greek word dotpolovia. When we break these down, we see äoroov - astron, or 'star' - and lovia - logia, or 'study of'. 

Interpreted into normal language, astrology is the ‘study of the stars'

When studying the stars, astrologers note the movement of the Sun, Moon and planets around the zodiac, an imaginary band in the sky around which the Sun passes in its apparent path across the Earth's sky. The zodiac is divided into 12 equal sections that are known by the names of the astrological signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
