HOROSCOPE
A horoscope is a
kind of celestial image or map. In which the position of the sun, moon and
planets in the twelve constellations and twelve houses is given according to
the given time and place.
There are many
types and shapes of horoscopes. But the natal chart is considered the most
important. Each person's horoscope is slightly different from the other, Because
the sun, moon and planets are not stationary in the sky. Rather, they are in
constant motion at every moment. Also, our earth is rotating on its own axis
every moment.
The English word
horoscope is derived from the Greek word “horoskopos”, which literally means
the sign of time, the observation of time, or the goal of time. Horoscope is a
Persian word, and Pahlavi is derived from "Zech". Zach or Zich
literally means observatory. That is, a place to observe and calculate the
planets. In ancient times, zech or zech refers to planetary-tables and
planetary-formulas. Because at that time celestial observations, mathematical
astronomy and astronomy were very much intertwined.
The horoscope
is a celestial image, but it is not a complete picture of the entire celestial
sphere, nor is it like a NASA space photo. At first glance, the horoscope will
look like a square or circle divided into twelve parts. The twelve cells
contain the symbols, abbreviations, or names of the planets.
Consider that
with the human eye thousands of stars are visible in the sky and telescopes are
tens of millions. But the horoscope does not include all of these. In fact,
there are only ten or twelve planets (including the moon and the sun). but why?
Because the horoscope usually only covers the planets of our own solar system.
This is a map of a particular part of the sky. That special part consists of
the ecliptic pathway of the sun.
Observing
from Earth, we see the planets of the solar system, and the moon and the sun
revolving on the same path. In astrology, this ecliptic solar system is divided
into twelve parts. Named after the twelve constellations. The elliptical circle
of the twelve constellations is called the zodiac circle. For convenience,
consider that the likeness of the constellation is like a heavenly road, and
the likeness of the planets is like the vehicles moving on this road.
The
three main layers of the horoscope
The horoscope
shows who was, where, in the sky relative to a particular time, date and place
on earth. Similarly, where is meant twelve towers and twelve houses. You can
understand them as layers. That is, the horoscope is a combination of these
three layers.
First
layer: Twelve signs
Second
layer: twelve houses
Layer
3: Planets-and-points
Every
complete horoscope has these three layers. Sometimes they are written in the
form of symbols, sometimes in the form of abbreviations, Sometimes the horoscope
does not show the constellation or the house in writing. For example, the names
or numbers of houses are not written in the horoscopes of Hindi astrology. But
every astrologer knows which house in the horoscope is for which house.
Twelve
constellations in the horoscope
The
constellation is also called sign or zodiac sign. The constellations are
actually twelve equal parts of the solar system in the sky. Common names for
the twelve constellations are: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo,
Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Because the
constellation based on the twelve constellations is 360 degrees. Therefore, the
length of each tower is 30 degrees.
Although the
names, symbols and similes of the twelve constellations are the same in Indian
astrology and Greek astrology. But the point-of-origin-for-zodiac of the two
constellations is different. At present there is a difference of more than 24
degrees between the Indian astrology and the Greek astrology. Every 72 years
this difference increases by one degree.
In the Indian
chart, the planets lag 24 degrees (approximately one bridge) behind the Western
chart. Each planet does not have to have a constellation behind in the Indian
chart, but in most cases a difference of 24 degrees leads the planets to the
previous constellation
Sometimes the
horoscope shows the constellation in the form of numbers. That is, number 1 is
written in place of Aries. Number 2 is written instead of Taurus. Numbers 3 for
the constellation Joza, and 12 digits for the rest of the constellations,
respectively. It's just a way of expressing yourself in writing. This method is
common in horoscopes made in Pakistan and northern India. In contrast, in the
wheel chart of the Greek astrology (Western astrology), the sign of the zodiac
is represented by specific symbols.
Another
misconception associated with the constellation is to consider the Sun sign as
a horoscope. Remember there is no sun sign, horoscope. This misconception has
become commonplace only because of the public interest and prediction columns.
The sun sign is actually a small part of the horoscope. And that's part of the
Western astrological horoscope.
To put it simply, it's just like a
truck light, a full truck.
There is no such
thing as sunshine in Indian astrology. There, after devotion, importance is
given to Chandra Rashi and Janam Nachhatar. Every other person in India knows
his zodiac sign and Nachhatra, because the practice of making horoscopes is
common there. In contrast, most naive Pakistanis know only their Western sun
sign. But they are unknowingly watching the weekly predictions of Indian
astrology available on the internet. Without realizing that the Sun Sign of
Western Astrology, and the Moon Sign (Lunar Rashi) of Indian Astrology have
something in common. The limit is that some so-called Pakistani astrologers are
following the same wrong path. Useful astrology based on Indian astrology and
see the annual positions of Guru and Saturn from the famous astrological
calendar. And apply it to the Sun sign of Western Astrology. This intellectual
infertility can only be mourned. Considering that Indian astrology is good.
Western astrology is also wonderful.
One of the
main reasons for the popularity of the Western Sun sign among the people is
that it can be easily identified with the help of the conventional English
(Gregorian) calendar. Newspapers and the Internet have tables that give the
start and end dates of each sign. A difference of one and a half days is
possible between them. Such ready-made tables can only work for the approximate
position of the Sun's sign of Western astrology (because the English calendar
is based to some extent on the annual rotation of the equatorial sun).
The horoscope
is not just the name of the Sun constellation. In addition to the Sun, the
horoscope gives details including details of Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn, Zodiac, and other constellations. But it is a
little difficult for people to understand. The year of birth and the time of
birth are not required to know the Sun sign. Most Pakistanis hide their actual
year of birth, and do not know the time of birth. So the sun sign becomes the
general support. The Western Sun sign gives a glimpse into a person's mood and
character. But the sun sign alone cannot be relied upon for prediction and
timing. If this were the case, then there would be only twelve types of people
and twelve types of events appearing in the world. Which is not true.
Twelve
houses in the horoscope
The house is
a very important part of the horoscope. Simply put, at any given time, the
twelve celestial towers from the earthly place (your city or village), in the
order and manner in which they appear, are called houses. The total number of
houses in each horoscope is twelve. Not less than twelve, not more than twelve.
Each house has several names. And from every house there are innumerable
matters of life: like the first house is health and personality. The second
house is of income and wealth. The seventh house is for marriage and spouse.
The fifth house is of children and creative intelligence. The ninth house is
for Hajj and pilgrimage. The tenth house is of profession and social status.
The twelfth house is for retirement. And the eighth house is death. Household
attributes for horoscopes should be memorized orally. By the way, the list of household
attributes is endless. But there are some important attributes of every home
that need to be memorized.
To
understand horoscope houses, it is necessary to understand a little bit of
shape and astronomy. Although the Earth is neither the center of the solar
system nor the center of the universe. But we humans live on earth. And they
observe the heavens above the earth. This method (observation or calculation)
is called geo-centric. We are present anywhere on earth, city, village, valley
or mountain. We cannot see the whole sky at once. Only half of the sky is
visible. The sky we see during the day is different from the night sky.
Similarly, we cannot see 12 constellations at once. Only half, that is, six
celestial belts can be seen. This half-sky is called the visible-heaven, which
extends from the twelfth house to the seventh house. And the part that is not
visible is called invisible-heaven, which consists of the sixth house from the
first house. Heaven here actually means the sky, not God or Heaven.
In the sky The
part of the constellation that appears on Earth to meet our local eastern
horizon is called the Ascendant. From this point the counting of twelve houses
begins. The constellation in which the dot is located is called the rising
constellation or the rising-sign. Similarly, the part of the constellation that
appears on Earth to meet our local western horizon is called the Descendant.
When counted from the astrological constellation, it is always opposite to the
seventh constellation. Since the count of twelve houses begins with a fortune.
That is why astrology is also called the first house.
There are
several ways to estimate the twelve horoscope houses. Some methods are simple,
such as the Whole-Sign-House-System and the Equal-House-System. Some methods
are difficult, based on mathematics. They are also called
Quadrant-House-System. Leading examples are Placidus, Regiomontanus, Campanus,
Alcabitius house systems. If I had to make a horoscope for someone according to
Western astrology, I personally prefer the Equal-House-System. While in the
horoscope made according to Indian astrology, I give basic importance to Rashi
Chart, Moon Chart and Nawansh Chart.
Whatever the
horoscope, whatever the type of house system, the total number of houses in
each horoscope is twelve. Unlike brogues, glyph-or-symbols are not used for
houses. In the Western Astrology wheel chart, houses are shown by their number,
for example, the first house is numbered 1, the second house is numbered 2, the
third house is numbered 3, and so on. That is, the numbers from 1 to 12 only
show the houses in the Western Astrology wheel chart. In contrast, the numbers
1 to 12 represent the constellation in the square chart of Indian astrology.
Interestingly, the names or numbers of the houses are not
written in the horoscopes of Indian Astrology. Rather, they are known by their
specific location. The eye of an experienced astrologer knows exactly which
horoscope box represents which house.
Planets
in the horoscope
As stated at the
beginning of this article, the horoscope contains the symbols or abbreviations
of only about a dozen planets (including the moon and the sun). Because the
horoscope usually only covers the planets of our own solar system.
Indian
astrology is traditionally based only on Nogra (ie, nine planets). Although
dozens of other specific points and sub-signs are also part of Indian
astrology. But in general, in the twelve boxes of the Indian chart, you will
see only nogras except devotion. Here are their names. Sun, Moon, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.
The use of
symbols is more prevalent in modern Western astrology. Circular horoscopes are
common there. By the way, this tradition is not very old. At one time medieval
European, ancient Iranian and Arab astrologers used to draw square horoscopes.
But the practice of wheel charts in modern Greek astrology has been on the rise
again for over two hundred and fifty years. In the current wheel charts,
planets are represented by specific symbols. The signs of the sun and the moon
are very common. The other two well-known forms are the glyphs of Mars and
Venus, which are also used to represent gender differences. It is not difficult
to remember the signs of the planets. With a little practice, they become mindful.
The Western
Astrology Wheel Chart includes the newly discovered planets namely Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto, in addition to Neuron (Sun and Moon), Khumsa Muthirah
(Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), Aqdatin (Venus). That is, at least
twelve planets besides As and Asher (MC). Dude, the sun and the moon and the
sun and the moon are not really planets. But for convenience and uniformity,
they are all called planets. Wheel charts sometimes include Fortuna, Chiron,
other small asteroids, and a few fixed-stars.
