Zodiac signs are mostly connected
with creations which astrologically can be observed among stars in nighttime.
Zodiac belt transmits the energies of different hereditary sign information and
so, transmits the heavenly powers and meanings to the Earth. It becomes
eventual to figure out the energies and impacts upon our lives. These impacts
and energy inflows are utterly essential and important for all of us, inasmuch
as they determine the way of our advancement; they involve each sphere and
manifestation in our life each second, so it is believed.
Astronomically, the Zodiac
refers to the part of the sky that is 8 degrees north and south of the
ecliptic, which is the path of the Sun across the celestial sphere from the view
of earth over the course of the year. The paths of the Moon and the planets are
also within the belt of the Zodiac. Zodiac houses are split up into the
Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. This Zodiac houses are sometimes referred to as
the Quaternaries. Inasmuch as each includes four signs respectively, each of
them is unique and carries its own messages and values that influence our life
in all spheres.
The cardinal is been represented
by Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Its ruling bodies include the Moon, Saturn,
Mars and Venus. It is believed that those whose zodiac signs fall under this ZODIAC
house are mostly pretty mobile and quick identities, who can slightly adapt to
novice occupation, though are vulnerable at times.
The fixed is been represented
by Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. They are been ruled by the Sun, Saturn,
Venus and Mars. Those under this Zodiac house are known for their confident
identities which are inflexible a-times -- and lastly, the Mutable, which are represented
by Gemini, Virgo Sagittarius and Pisces. These differ from the others and they
are been ruled by Mercury and Jupiter. Those under this zodiac signs are known
to be easy going personalities, and also flexible.
So going to the zodiac sign hierarchy,
the zodiac signs are ranked as follows: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo,
Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Although in
2020, a new zodiac signs known as the Ophiuchus, or the serpent-bearer was discovered.
Anyone born between November 29 and December 17 would no longer be a Scorpio or
a Sagittarius, but an Ophiuchus....still, some born within November to December prefer being
under zodiac sign scorpio and sagittarius.
Now, criticizing this
horoscopic discovery, many of us are walking around asking people what their sign
is. When we learn of people’s birthdates, or when we share the same birth month,
there’s a connection. We get so excited when we connect with someone of the
same sign because we can understand them. Some believe in this zodaic sign to
the extent that they want to understand who they are through that zodiac signs.
To Christians and Religious leader, it is believed that it is part of idol
worship, because if you believe in a particular thing too much, it becomes an
idol, thereby doubting God's existence (Jonah 2:8 NIV says, Those who cling to
worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them). By the time you start
believing in this, you will forget everything about who your maker is. The
truth is that the Old Testament does speak against a large number of occult
arts (e.g., Ex 22:18; Deut 18:10).
I won't discount that it can
be extremely tempting to read them, I
don’t want to be seen as puritanical or a bore, but astrology is also another
form of faith, and I don't place my hopes for the future in the stars, but in
the God I believe created them as well as me. Ignoring astrological advice
allows me to navigate this absurd world more freely —
as my uniquely created self — measuring and
absorbing other people as fluidly as they may come.
