...Regina K. Williams Susan Lowman-Thomas English 101 6 September 2015 The Truth about Astrology Astrology has been in existence for centuries, and its controversy over its relevance. The history of astrology began with the Babylonians, they are credited for the creation of astrology. Their astrological charts enabled them to predict the recurrence of seasons and coming celestial events. Astrology was also used to bring a sense of order out of apparent chaos, it was soon utilized to predict weather patterns, primarily for agricultural purposes. It was eventually broadened to include forecasts of natural disasters and war and other events in the course of human affairs. Amassing successes in these fields, it was a natural progression for astrology to be used as counsel for kings and emperors and in time, for all of us. “Astrology is one of the most ancient sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the wise and the great. Formerly, no prince would make war or peace, nor any general fight in battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an astrologer."- Benjamin Franklin Character traits of an individual are strongly effected by astrology. Learning in depth information related to astrology can help assist with relating with others. Individuals who have a strong Understanding of Astrological signs tend to have a clear understanding of themselves. When studding the science of Astrology, it very important to know the time of a person’s birth...

...CONSTELLATIONS and ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS * What is a Constellation? * A constellation is a group of stars that appears to form a pattern or picture like Orion the Great Hunter, Leo the Lion, or Taurus the Bull. Constellations are easily recognizable patterns that help people orient themselves using the night sky. * In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around asterisms, patterns formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another on Earth's night sky. * The constellation Orion is one of the most recognizable in the night sky. * There are 88 standard constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) since 1922. The majority of these go back to the 48 constellations defined by Ptolemy in his Almagest (2nd century). The remaining ones were defined in the 17th and 18th century; the most recent ones are found on the southern sky, defined in Coelum australe stelliferum by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille (1763). * There are also numerous historical constellations not recognized by the IAU, or constellations recognized in regional traditions of astronomy or astrology, such as Chinese, Hindu or Austral Aboriginal. * Are the Stars in a Constellation near each other? * Not necessarily. Each constellation is a collection of stars that are distributed in space in three dimensions – the stars are all different distances from Earth. The stars in a...

...Numerous people confuse astrology with astronomy when they actually have several differences. Mankind's known history of the universe and today's scientific knowledge are ways to tell the two apart. Astronomy is the study of matter outside the Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomy studies the chemical and physical properties of outer space. Astrology also studies the effects of apparent influence of the stars on human life. The position and movement of stars throughout the night sky determine the effects. Although astrology and astronomy both study celestial objects, astronomy is different because astronomy studies the actual bodies and the physical effects their motions have on the Earth and other planets. Before the time of astronomy, most people believe the Earth was flat. Most cultures also believe they were in the center of the universe and all life gravitates around them. Aristarchus is one of the first people to voice his belief that the world revolves around the sun and not the other way around. People ridicule such outrageous remarks, so they disregard Aristarchus’ vision for some time. That is until around the 1500s, when Nicolaus Copernicus creates the first heliocentric model of our solar system. In this model, the sun is not the center of the model, but actually slightly off center towards one side. Galileo is extremely well known in the astronomical world. He introduces the law of time and how objects at such given distances can be easily measured by time. Galileo creates...

...The constellation Virgo has multiple different origins depending on which mythology is being studied. Most myths generally view Virgo as a virgin/maiden with heavy association with wheat. In Greek and Roman mythology hey relate the constellation to Demeter, mother of Persephone, or Proserpina in Roman, the goddess of the harvest. However, some tell tales of the Greek story of Parthenos, which means virgin in Greek, which explains how the actual constellation Virgo came to be. In this story Parthenos is the daughter of Staphylus and Chrysothemis, and sister to Rhoio and Molpadia.

...Twelve Zodiac Symbols Through out the novel Grendel, John Gardner has put in all of the twelve zodiac symbols that attribute towards Grendel. The three major zodiac signs that are shown in Grendel are the Goat, the Bull, and the Fish. All three of these zodiac symbols show deep meaning into who Grendel really is, how they relate with Grendel, and the zodiac symbols also deeply express the ways of his thinking Grendel has and the encounters he has with others within Grendel. The Goat in Grendel represents Grendel’s will to never stop attacking Hrothgar’s meadhall, his stubbornness, and Grendel’s negative attitude. “It is the business of goats to climb.” (Gardner, 139) This is what Grendel says about the great horned goat that is...

...region of the sky containing them. In technical usage these meanings have been separated, with groupings of stars being called asterisms, and the word constellation being reserved for a specific area of the celestial sphere with boundaries laid down by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). These areas mostly had their origins in Western-traditional asterisms from which the constellations take their names. When astronomers say something is “in” a given constellation they mean it is within those official boundaries. There are 88 officially recognized constellations, covering the entire sky[1] which have grown from the 48 classical Greek constellations laid down by Ptolemy in the Almagest. Out of these 88 constellations, 12 compose the zodiac signs. Thus, any given point in a celestial coordinate system can unambiguously be assigned to a constellation. It is usual in astronomy to give the constellation in which a given object is found along with its coordinates in order to convey a rough idea in which part of the sky it is located.

...4 Zodiac Signs That Predict Your Lasting Relationships Establishing a long-term relationship involves a lot of hard work. For your relationship to be successful there should be trust, patience, tolerance, and proper communication. It is difficult to set up a long-term relationship overnight or in a week. Living with someone for the rest of your life requires commitment every day. Unless both partners are mature enough and ready to put in the necessary effort to make it work, a long-term relationship can be difficult to set up. Relationship Determinants Most people prefer short-term and noncommittal relationships over short ones because of many reasons. Other than relationship and interpersonal skills, successful relationships are also dependent on life circumstances and timing. It may feel like you are not in the right place to establish a long-term relationship. In modern dating, a lot of people feel it easy to regret the end of a long-term relationship. This is mainly because both partners do not exhibit a total commitment to making it work. Soon after a breakup, most people feel it ok to find someone better. This doesn’t mean you can’t...

The Leo constellation lies in the northern part of the sky, and is the 12th largest constellation. It was discovered by the Greek astronomer, Ptolemy in the 2nd century, the same time that the other zodiac constellations were discovered. The creation story of this constellation is one that I find to be very interesting. Hercules had to perform twelve labors for killing his family, and killing Leo, the Nemean lion, was one of them. This lion was terrorizing the citizens, and killing many people, children, and animals that were used for food, so Hercules was sent to kill it. While Hercules was trying to kill...
