Ten years. Ten years I have been studying astrology, ever since I was 13 years old. If you can do the math that means I am currently 23 years old. Studying astrology this copiously has benefits to it, what started out as a hobby now has gave me puissant knowledge on everything pertaining to astrology. Nobody seemed to understand my passion for astrology, not even my own Mother. I reflect upon what it was like being misunderstood by my own peers and even my own family.
I don’t exactly remember when my infatuation with astrology came. I think it was more just there with me throughout my adolescence. February 7th is my birthday, and if you know basic astrology then you would know that I am an Aquarius. Each morning I would get up, shower, brush my teeth, eat, and then read my daily horoscope before I went to school. This was an ongoing occurrence until one day I started to realize how true and factual these horoscopes were to my day to day life. I remember one day I came home and and re-read my horoscope from earlier that morning, and I was astonished of how accurate it was.
The horoscope read as follows; “Today will be a day full of romance, excitement, and expect a familial death.”
That same day I got a love note in my locker, a surprise visit from a old friend of years ago, and my very ill grandmother had passed away all in the equal time period of a day.
This is not a mere coincidence, and I can recall numerous times where this exact portrait of how
This, compared to the belief about the zodiac signs, is a significant change during the
It was near the end of my 8th grade school year, about 2 month away from graduation, when something I never expected to happen actually happened. This event really changed my life forever and shaped me into who I am as a person today. I had just arrived at my house after school when my parents received a call that my grandma was ill and that we should come down to check on her. As we rushed down to my grandparents house, my family was deeply concerned about what may have happened because my grandma had never really had many health issues before this. As we arrived at their house and walked through the door, we were greeted with the sight of my grandma sitting in a chair with a blanket around her while she was sleeping. My family’s first reaction
Astrology is the use of the relative positions of celestial objects to predict events on Earth. It is an ancient field of study, having been in use thousands of years before common era. Cultures around the world had been looking to the skies for forecasts on happenings in their everyday lives long before Europeans began to do so. In Europe, astrology never established itself as a large influence on society until the Renaissance came around, mostly due to the strict Catholic principles that bound people to a particular set of beliefs. Prior to the Renaissance, according to the Encyclopedia of the Renaissance by Paul F. Grendler, astrology was often “condemned as determinist or unreliable or irreligious.” However, as the Renaissance unfolded,
Leo, July 23 to August 22: You’ve been taking the same route for a while. It’s time to shake things up and change your daily routine. Be spontaneous.
Astronomy and astrology are very similar, yet different. Astronomy is the study of the universe and what's inside of it, as well as other universes. Astrology is the study of how the actions and movements of things in our universe affect what happens on earth, and people. Although they both deal with the universe and one was founded by the other, they also have many things that set them apart from one another. This essay will talk about the differences and similarities of astronomy and astrology and how each is used.
Astrology is defined as the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. During the Elizabethan era astrology, was used as an influence for day to day affairs. The most known figures of the Elizabethan era, Queen Elizabeth herself and Shakespeare, used astrology. Astrology was an influence on Shakespeare’s plays and Queen Elizabeth’s decisions in daily life. Astrology not only influenced its most prominent figures but the northern part of Europe as a whole. The common person in Europe had a belief in astrology that helped influenced their daily life. Astrology was a popular belief everywhere in Europe. During the Elizabethan age, astrology influenced
Before being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, I believed I was psychic. I would read tarot cards for people, I believed astrology was the best way to understand someone’s personality and anything with “ology” at the end of it was of interest to me.
When I was little, I really didn’t know what astrology was or what your zodiac sign was. When I was growing up, I finally figured out what it all meant and how it worked. From that point on I was instantly clicked. I loved reading my horoscope and when ever I did read it, nine out of ten times it would be right, and that’s why I loved reading my horoscope. It was just something I did every morning, and then I would go throughout my day. Then at night when I would be back on the computer, i would reread them, and realize that most of the time those things did happen, or I did feel that type of emotion.
We our not completely sure if Shakespeare believed in astrology, but later in life in a new play, he had the character Julius Caesar ask the question upon the astrology of the stars placement on when were born, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
When I was younger I had no idea what Zodiac signs were .But my mom told me when she was pregnant “I hope that it wasn't a boy Scorpio because I don't get along with them they are mean”.As I finally got older I started to wonder about what Zodiac signs were or what my Zodiac sign was .I finally asked my mom what my Zodiac sign was and she says “Scorpio”.Once I got of age to have a phone I searched things about Zodiac signs and what they are.Everything I searched about a female Scorpio were about 80-90% true.
Two of the greatest days of my life were the days my daughters were born. The first time I held the both of them and gazed into their eyes I felt a sense of relief and hope. The feeling is a warm tingling sensation that engulfed my entire body. The emotions that I felt are beyond what words can explain. It’s amazing to me that in the first few minutes of their lives they completely changed my perception of the world.
(I can’t remember the website now but) A website said that if you believe in astrology wholeheartedly that is 90%-100% true for you. If you believe on the down low, just dabble here and there, it is most likely 40%-60% true for you. Finally, if you don’t believe at all it would only be 0%-20% true for you. In some aspects it seems totally fake. The chance of everyone born in the same month as you having similar traits to you is about as likely as evolution, it can’t happen. But if you think about it, I would say at least half of those people wouldn’t believe in astrology at all and maybe 20-ish% would just believe a little. Though that may be the case, I would still say it is highly unlikely. Most of the tools used in “reading your horoscope” I believe are “hocus pocus” (no pun intended… well maybe a little…). Things like Tarot Cards, dowsing rods and runes may help you to “feel the energy” but really all they’re doing is putting on a show. Astrology is definitely not irreducibly complex, and I could probably rip this apart piece by piece and dive head first into the root of all the stars. [For the sake of my sleep schedule I will save that for my final copy xD] I will add something though, the horoscopes you see in the paper are definitely not something you should believe, and they are most likely not done by someone who knows what they’re doing.
So the numbers we got was not different from what we expected. Since we accepted hypothesis there were no errors in the lab that affected results. Which proves our point that horoscopes cannot predict anyone’s life. Also it was noticed that some people got higher correct answers but that does not say that they are psychic. Nick Allum tested an experiment which was to study Europeans believing in Astrology. He had three basic hypothesis which were they don’t have enough education in science to differentiate pseudoscience to science, confused about astrology, and people with authoritarian values believe in astrology. He tested it and it came out that “all three of his hypotheses are most likely true” (Allum, 2011, p. 361-363). This experiment tells us that horoscopes aren’t really believable. There weren’t errors with our data but one little error would be if a group didn’t get what the journal entry was saying they would have just guessed a later cause they were really annoyed by it. This error wouldn’t do major damage to our data but it might have done
It was my birthday. Two things that I never thought would happen. One was me getting a chocolate lab I named Hazel,the second was losing a loved one.These two thing happened on one day that I will love and hate for the rest of my life.
