Introduction
A horoscope is a detailed layout of the zodiac and planets ( recognized
by the ancient Indians influencing the earth) at the time of birth.
It would be equivalent to a picture taken at a particular time capturing the state of heavenly bodies in the sky.
There are basically two aspects to a horoscope:
- CONSTRUCTION OF A HOROSCOPE - This is the
scientific or the mathematical aspect. Since the principles are
documented, and follow the principles of ASTRONOMY, a horoscope cast
correctly will be identical with that cast by any other person or
computer provided there are no calculation errors. This part of
Astrology is a well -developed science not disputable by any segment of
the intellectual population.
- INTERPRETING A HOROSCOPE -
This aspect takes up your understanding, analytical, memory as well as
intuitive skills in equal measure. Reading a horoscope is an art and so
experience as well as natural talent make a good astrologer.
