Aspects of Astrology • Astrology has been known to be influencing society since around the third millennium BC. • Up until the 17th century astrology was known as a scholarly tradition and it helped drive the development of astronomy. • Astrology was commonly accepted in political and cultural circles and has always been very influential on people. • One aspect of Astrology that has developed over the years is the use of Zodiac Signs.

Horoscopes • Horoscopes are said to be a divination of a person at a certain point of time, usually based on birth. • A horoscope changes as the planets, moon, and sun rotate around the universe. • While researching, I discovered a quote that really did a good job describing how astrology determines a persons mood. The quote stated that “if the moon can cause something as large as the ocean to change tides, then how can it not have an affect on a person’s mood from day- to-day.”
Astrology has become such an evident part of people’s lives that it can even be used to analyze a person’s sleep patterns. • Seasonal changes can lead to sleep changes in people because of the positions of the moon and the sun during the day. • From season to season, the sun and moon change how often they show their faces which causes people to want to sleep more in some seasons than in others. • These seasonal changes that affect sleep patterns can also be seen in animals during hibernation.
William Shakespeare • During Elizabethan times, Astrology was used for many different aspects of society. • It was used as a tool for offering answers in medicine, biology, physics and philosophy. • Astrologers were extremely respected and influential during this era. • Shakespeare often referred to astrology in his plays and literature pieces. Because the influence of astrology was so great in society at this time, it only makes sense that well-known writers used it in their literature.
Astrology in Music • There are a handful of artists that have used astrology and zodiac signs in their pieces of work. • They might use astrology to disguise a person’s identity, but still allow their personality to show through. • However, music is also referred to in the zodiac signs because different signs are said to have better musical talent. • It has been proven that famous musicians and artists follow certain zodiac signs. • This is because each zodiac sign displays a number of different characteristics.
Though it has not been proven that horoscopes, zodiac signs, and other aspects of astrology are truthful, these things definitely play a significant role in our society and daily culture. • If different artists along with scientists are using astrology for a variety of different things for so many years now then it must be an important part of humanity, even though it hasn’t been proven reliable. • The fact that so many people trust and use astrology is fascinating because in today’s society trust is not easy to earn. We live in a society where you are taught not to be trusting without proof of accuracy, which makes it astonishing that so many people rely on astrological readings.
