Astrology
is a science of understanding the natural world and our position in it with origins
in early Egypt, China, Greece, Mesopotamia and Sumeria.
There
is no earthly nor does any heavenly reason exist why a person should believe
that space matter has any control over our lives!
But,
internet and newspaper horoscopes? Aww…C’mon! They probably don’t know two
cents about your life!
The
first innovative newspaper horoscope column was published by R.H. Naylor, a
British astrologer from the 20th century. Naylor was an assistant to
high-society neo-shaman, Cheiro (born William Warner) who was a palmist and who
was routinely doing celebrity star charts.
A man
today reads a love horoscope for awide range of reasons- fun, inquisitiveness, amusement, genuine interest, to gauge
luck, suspense, and so on.
However,
whatever may be the reason, we have to accept that they are hugely popular!
To
tell all of you the truth, whenever I look at a horoscope, my eyes are inclined
to the prediction of my star sign: Leo. I am always hoping that there will be
something unique in store for me, even if there may be millions of Leos out
there. Recently, I being a puberty afflicted teenager, find myself looking at
astrology in relation to love horoscope.
Philosophically,
there is something about reading a love
horoscope that implies a placement of ‘thyself’.
I
think it allows us to see ourselves as subsets in a much larger macrocosm.
Humans
are pattern associates’. We have a very powerful predisposition to notice
similarities in nature and the universe, and sometimes we see more than there
actually is! There is an evolutionary theory for this, in short a false
positive is less risky than failure in observation of the truth.
People generally believe things happen for a
reason, and they invent laws and theories to support their wild conclusions!
A love horoscope is not just about future
predictions, but more about telling actual personality traits in an individual.
Many online applications exist today.
In
recent studies, I have found that for some crowds, theology offers a map with
which to chart the paths for their lives; for others, it’s the structure of the
universe itself that provides the tools for voyaging. I believe in love horoscope not so much for its
ability to predict futures, but for its interactive delivery — the way it asks
me to look at the events of my life as part of a larger subset of cycles of
‘births-deaths’. Astrology belongs in the land of the mystical, and may
gravitate to the esoteric genre; however, it is this ‘mystery’ that makes life
worth living!
Richard
Dawkins, the progressive atheist, once said that astrology belittles astronomy,
psychology and human personality. I for one think that a love horoscope goes further than plain astrology, in that it even
predicts who your love mate will be and when you are most likely to meet
him/her. It is one step further in the evolution of simple astrology.
Today,
I make use of Astrology Garden, a
fantastic app that is very authentic in its predictions. Let us hope they
continue!
