What is astrology ?

Astrology explains what influence the position of sun, moon and planets have on people and events.
Litterally translated, astrology means 'knowledge of the stars', where 'astro' refers to star and 'logos' to knowledge.
Astrology is the knowledge to read and interpret the destiny of a person according to the position of the sun, moon and planets at the moment of his or her birth.
The sum of all these data provides information on how you behave, feel and act, both in positive and negative sense. You get insight into your life pattern, your relationships with others, your position in this life and in society, your life destination.
In short: astrology provides knowledge about your life plan and the ability to act accordingly.
Your destination is also closely related to the Norns. You can read more about them on the next page.
How did astrology emerge?
Right from the origin of mankind, man was fascinated by the motion of the celestial bodies. The primitive man - exposed to the vagaries of nature - gazed upwards, full of awe.
In ancient times they also discovered that there was a certain pattern in what happened in the sky: the stars and planets moved in a regular pattern along the sky and they always seemed to move in the same part of the sky.
These ancient cultures imagined a sphere around the earth itself, where they could situate the various celestial objects. On this sphere they indicated the circlewise way of the sun, or ecliptica - this is the way the sun annually moves - viewed from the earth.
Then they divided the circle into 12 equal parts, called zodiac, each named after one part of the astrological constellation.
Later people designed to these zodiac signs specific qualities, and the stars that were observed in that part of the world, in fact, formed the basis for what is now called astrology.
