Who could make an accurate list of why people really read their horoscope? Each day millions of people read their daily horoscope, and they do so for many reasons. Some are searching for answers to their problems, looking for any inkling of relief that might present itself. Some are reading just for entertainment, looking to fill some time. Then there are those who read it simply out of habit – they've always read it, so they keep reading it, whether it makes a difference in their lives or not.

The horoscope one can read in public newspapers or on a public website is written in very general terms, and can be easily applied to a wide spectrum of situations. This type of horoscope is not useful, in earnest, to an individual. While it is true that astrology can and does reveal certain aspects of the future, it is not a fool proof system, because interpretation is involved. Astrology is a science, and can not be accurately classified as an art. It is based in mathematics, geometry, and astronomy, and there's nothing magical or mythical about those particular sciences. The entire universe is built upon the laws and principles of these sciences. There is no magic that is going to change the future for anyone. The practice of astrology can most certainly aid in maintaining the foundations of living in the now, but that's only going to come from understanding your natural self, the "you" you were born to be.

One of the ways to accomplish this is to examine your astrological birth chart. A birth chart, or natal chart as it is sometimes called, tells the real story of your natural personality. This chart graphs the position of the planets and astrological houses present in the sky at the very time of your birth. Because of the characteristics
ascribed to the planets and astrological houses this chart can reveal your motivations, desires, positives, negatives, and just why you are the way you are. The three most important things to review about your birth chart are the sun sign, the ascending sign, and the moon sign.

>Your sun sign reveals your inner-self – the core of who you are, and how you see yourself. This is the most general aspects of your personality.

>The rising/ascending sign can be thought of as your outward personality – the part of you that you project to others, or that others observe about you.

>Your moon sign indicates emotional and intuitive responses – the way you deal with certain situations. As you carefully examine these three aspects of your birth chart be sure to take note of both positives and negatives. Through astrology, you can clearly see what you have already in your corner and what you need to work on to make your NOW happy, healthy, and productive. Could that be the magical part of astrology? After all, knowledge is power.
