Astrology is a type of divination that involves forecasting earthly and human events through the observation and interpretation of the location and movement of the celestial bodies like stars, the Sun, the Moon, and planets. The positions of these celestial bodies at certain times are read as signs according to the interpretive models of different cultures. In many cultures the positions of the stars and planets at the time of one’s birth are used to generate a horoscope or birth chart that is thought to provide insights about a person’s life and personality.
