Astrology is the science of interpreting the stars to predict events and personality traits of individuals. The practice of astrology dates back to 2000 BC, when it was used by the Babylonians to predict seasonal weather changes. The Egyptians also practiced astrology and were the creators of the zodiac signs that we use today. The signs of the zodiac were created when the band of the sky was divided into 12 sections. Each sign was then named for the constellations that resided in its section.
In ancient times, astrology was a highly respected science. It has less respect today, but it is still widely practiced and often extremely accurate. Your personal zodiac sign is determined by your birthday. Each zodiac sign has its own unique traits and tendencies. To determine your zodiac sign, you must find where your birthday lies in the zodiac chart.
