Horoscope

Horoscope (Greek ὥρα, hora, " hour ", and σκοπεῖν skopein, "observe" ) is the primary means of astrology. It turns planetary positions of the largest and most famous heavenly bodies (sun, earth moon, planets) of our solar system at any given time represents the horoscope chart is the view in the solar system geocentric view (ground view) again, the place for which created the horoscope after geog. Length and width is taken into account. Basics are astronomical calculation methods of celestial mechanics. Previously, the ephemeris were used for calculation; Today, an astrology software is mostly used which relies on.

History

The oldest evidence of " houses" that were used in the context of zodiac signs, go back to the Old Kingdom in Ancient Egypt. Later in the Book of Nut horoscope similar use a more specific interpretation learned before about Alexandria in the Hellenistic houses found the teaching input in the Greek culture.

As Horoskopus the entire ascending zodiac signs and later only the ascending Ekliptikgrad the eastern horizon in ancient times was originally called, which is now called the Ascendant. In the present, Astrology, the entire graph is called a horoscope that contains all the relevant factors and significance has changed greatly throughout history.

For the first time allows the knowledge of the ascending degrees of the ecliptic, the Horoskopus demonstrate in a horoscope sketch from the third century BC. Since Ptolemy, the use of the tropical zodiac in the Western Hemisphere has prevailed, which begins with the vernal equinox, while in the " Vedic " ( Indian ) Astrology, however, the shift of the vernal equinox is ignored since ancient times.

Elements

Horoscopes are today mostly colored graphics that represent a particular constellation in our solar system symbolically. The heavenly bodies located in a square, while the arrangement in a circle is common today - Previously in Europe - as is still partly in Asia. In western astrology can be found in a horoscope the following four elements:

• Celestial bodies (sun, moon, planets, or in some astrology schools also asteroids )
• Lines between the heavenly bodies to designate angular relationships (called aspects)
• Signs of the zodiac (30 ° sections of the zodiac )
• Directions and axes for space division

The doctrine of the quality of time

According to the hermetic analogy law "as above, so below " is to help the plan of life ( plants, chances, character, fate ) of a person or an event occurs, the quality of time (causes, effects, sense) explain the horoscope of birth. The quality of time at the birth of a human (or a state or an organization) describes some astrologers consider that the initial energy with which a life ( or, eg, a state ) begins. To that extent, later can be therefore any information on basic properties and developments reading, on which can be used again and again, so long as a person lives or an organization exists. The newly -born man is ( physically, emotionally, mentally ) exposed at all levels an energy field that gives him with his life's theme on the way. Both spirit and soul and every body cell have saved the life issue, because the whole thing was always rediscover in every detail, is like the whole plant can already be found in the seed.

Horoscope as astrological character analysis is thus intended to self-knowledge.

While scientifically oriented astrologers for working with horoscopes and astrology according to the effect of physical causalities were looking for, sees the majority of astrologers in a horoscope is a spiritual- symbolic model, which is based on the basis of synchronicity or meaningful coincidence according to rhythms. It is not intended in the logic of causal categories, but in analogies, as well as in psychoanalysis, dream analysis and graphology.

Methods

" The horoscope is seen from the birthplace of the astronomical sketch of the sky situation at the moment of birth of a person. This birth chart shows the position of the stars in their course through the zodiac as well as their positions in the force fields / sectors / zones, also called houses. [ ... ] The horoscope, based on a human being, is a means of interpretation for the detection of personality: in psychological practice a personality test " Individually calculated horoscopes need accurate information of date of birth, time of birth and place of birth. .

Birth Chart

The " classic" among the horoscopes: Under the precise indication of date of birth, time of birth and place of birth, the radix (Latin for " root ", horoscope ) is calculated. According to astrologers, one could deduce from the character 's birth chart and other personality characteristics. The observation of the relationships between the planets in the sky and character is ancient and was practiced in ancient Babylonia. So for the time of birth of a ruler of the planet supernatant was retained and there was an attempt to read from the characteristics of the newborn. Special planetary positions were, for example, as a sign of a great power of the new ruler.

Hours Astrological Horoscope question

The Horary Astrology is a very old branch of astrology, in which the objective is to answer a specific question from a horoscope. This is for the moment question - and (usually) created on the location of the astrologer. Mostly, the questions relate to a decision or an event that dominates the uncertainty, for example in health, career, partnership, or travel. The interpretation is done according to the rules of classical astrology. Thus, the signs of the zodiac, for example, only with the old rulers worked - although the modern planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in interpretation can certainly play a role - and the aspects to be divided "bad" into "good " and.

In the interpretation of the astrologer is not usually taken into account the horoscope as a whole, but primarily special Signifikatoren associated with the question. This may only be a few planets, signs and houses.

Newspaper or press Horoscopes

Newspaper horoscopes values ​​exclusively from the zodiac sign in which the sun is at birth. The astrologer and psychoanalyst Fritz Riemann criticized this as a trivialization of astrology, which had nothing to do with horoscopy. According to Riemann 's statements such horoscopes speak to aspirations and expectations of the reader or give warnings slurred.

Newspaper horoscopes contain general statements which are believed to be accurate by the reader with a high probability ( see Barnum effect).

Composite

In practical astrology is a composite (or composite ) from two or more horoscopes generated relationship or partner horoscope, which is calculated from the arithmetic mean of the spatial positions of 2 same planet. For example, if A is the coordinate of the planet Venus from person 1 and B is the coordinate of Venus in person so 2 is the coordinate of Venus in the composite chart (A B) / 2

Combine

A Combine is a partnership in astrology horoscope, which is calculated from the arithmetic mean of the times of birth and the coordinates of the birthplaces of two people. The Combine the goal of a relationship between two individuals is to be interpreted; it is used as a common birth chart, for example, in the calculation of transit, solar arc progression, etc. It represents next to the composite and synastry one of the methods of relationship astrology is a bit more difficult to calculate.

Progression

In the progressed chart is a temporal correlation to be found. After the first day of life (24 hours) after birth corresponds to the first year (365 days). The 30 days of age corresponds to the age of 30, etc. The positions after the birth of the sun, moon, moon nodes, MC and Ascendant and the planet can be calculated at any time kipper and yield a new horoscope. It is said that the progressive chart. It is related to the radix. The progressive levels of sun, moon and MC also symbolize time indicator for the year ( sun p), for the month ( moon p) and for the day ( MC p). With this methodological approach to a horoscope but is a severe limitation connect to: In many cases, if not in most, realizing the clear se constellation exceeds the imagination of the German ends. And that coincides with the everyday experience in many areas of life.

Solar Arc Directorate

Progressive sun is a sun position. A day of life at birth is counted as one year of age; the first day of life corresponds to the first year. The seventh day of the seventh year, etc. Each position that reaches the sun in days after birth, is called progressive sun. The angular distance between the Sun and Sun radix progressively ie solar arc. This is the individual Directorate bow for every man. With the solar arc all radix- factors are conducting. The reason given for the solar arc - Directorate with the assumption that the Sun symbolizes all physical things as form, or vessel. For humans, the sun symbolizes the whole body with all the physical, mental and emotional characteristics. The body carries the soul of man. Therefore belong body and soul together. The person on earth makes the trip ( movement) of the earth around the sun with. Therefore, all other natal factors may be conducted with the solar arc.

Synastry

If the aspects between all the planets of two persons charged, then one speaks of a synastry chart. These aspects are usually listed in a table.

Transit

All aspects between the radix and the current state of the planet are calculated and compared. The current Planets with the planetary positions of the birth chart can be compared. Astrologers derive from interpretations for the future.

Scientific classification

The tradition of the creation of horoscopes is based on the belief of the position and movement of the heavenly bodies conclusions could be drawn to future events or to the person's personality. This assumption was valid until into the 17th century in science as plausible. For example, the astronomer Johannes Kepler was incidentally also worked as an astrologer. From the 17th century, however, came in the wake of the Enlightenment skeptical about this way of looking at, and astrology lost its status as a science rather quickly and was attributed to superstition. In response to the boom in astrology since the late 1960s, scientific studies have been conducted in which statements of astrologers who made ​​this due to the interpretation of horoscopes, were reviewed. These studies came to an overall negative result. If any testable predictions are made, they have in the majority of studies, according to astrology critics about no fluke beyond probability. There was no physically plausible mechanism of action. The a horoscope originally underlying idea of ​​the structure of the universe is outdated for many centuries. Different astrologers can interpret the same constellation often different. Therefore, the creation and interpretation of horoscopes from a scientific perspective is not the acquisition of knowledge. The frequent coincidence of horoscopes and the following events is based on the general and imprecise combined statements of the horoscope and the self-deception of the reader, what was described as Barnum effect.
