When people mention astrology, they think of it as fortune telling. Many people sincerely ask: "Help me, see why my luck has changed?" "When will I be lucky?" "When will I have love?" "Who is the most suitable person for me to marry?" People refer to astrology People regard themselves as prophets who predict events, thinking that by looking at birth charts, they can find shortcuts in life, hide and seek with fate, escape the torture of fate, avoid unwilling pain, and embark on the smoothest and happiest life road. Just imagine, if fate could be so easily manipulated by us, wouldn’t everyone learn astrology? Isn't the astrologer's fate the best?

Modern astrologers cannot answer such questions. The astrology mentioned in our column is modern astrology that has been combined with psychology. The philosophy of this subject is to believe that astrology is a subject of self-knowledge, a knowledge that helps us grow, allowing us to know our own destiny through self-knowledge, and ultimately have wisdom that transcends destiny. Astrology is by no means a tool for playing hide and seek with destiny. For modern astrology, it is a naive outlook on life and an evasive attitude that refuses to grow. Modern astrology has long since moved away from the argument that destiny is preordained by God. Modern astrology has long been integrated into psychology and personality theory to describe personality psychology in the most detailed way.

Is it just astrology? Why does astrology seem to be omnipotent when so many people talk about it? Why are so many people obsessed with astrology? Is astrology used for divination? What is the use of astrology? Does it have any division of labor?

Astrology also has different majors:

Each discipline has a different purpose, so the division of labor is also different. Mathematics, chemistry, medicine and other subjects have detailed majors.

Chemistry is also divided into organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, chemical engineering, polymers, etc. Medicine is divided into internal medicine, surgery, otolaryngology, radiology and so on.

Birth Astrology

It is here that we introduce astrology, which is mainly based on a person's birthday and is the most widely used. Taking a person's birth as a starting point to analyze the overall situation of a person's life. It is concerned with information about a person's character and life, and envisions the course of life based on the movements of the planets. In the analysis, there is analysis of the basic personality composition of the individual, as well as personal expression, attitude towards love, marriage, interpersonal relationships, offspring of parents, thinking, career and work, finance, philosophy, career possibilities, creativity, etc. Analysis of areas of life.

This is the largest branch of modern astrology, which has been integrated with psychology. The biggest feature of this school is that it gets rid of the influence of fatalism and absorbs the ideas of Jungian psychology, humanistic psychology and transpersonal psychology. Astrologers require not only knowledge of ancient astrology, but also a wealth of modern psychology and a deep understanding of life. Astrologers use a positive outlook on life to help clients look forward to the long river of life and understand the meaning of life growth brought about by destiny, rather than escaping the torment of painful destiny. Empower individuals with the power of personal growth and break the superstition of astrologers. Many psychological astrologers come from the field of psychology.

Widely used in psychotherapy, self-potential development, self-improvement, career choice, personnel management, etc. This astrological school is characterized by its romantic and optimistic approach to life. It actively regards destiny as the growth process of life, emphasizes that the improvement of the level of human life consciousness will bring freedom of life, combines free will with potential development, and eliminates the blindness and fear caused by mysticism.

Military Astrology

Mainly analyzes and predicts major events in the country and the earth, including politics, economy, national conditions, natural disasters and other major events involving the collective whole. In astrology, each country has its own birth chart. This country, like human beings, carries the energy of the universe, as well as its political and economic policies, international relations, etc. It’s all about the universe.

In particular, the success of a national leadership election is closely related to the birthday of the candidate and the country.

It is also used to predict and explain natural phenomena on the earth, as well as conduct astrological analysis and predictions of major human-related events on the earth. For example, the stock market crash, aviation disaster, terrorist threats and Pluto entering Sagittarius in 2001, SARS and Uranus entering Pisces in 2004, etc. This type of astrology is far less popular than birth astrology because it involves so many issues beyond the personal concerns of the average person.

Medical astrology

It is the application of the ancient astrological philosophy of "the macrocosm corresponds to the microcosm" in human health. It closely links human health with the birth chart. The constellations in the birth chart correspond to specific parts of the human body, and also provides suggestions for human health protection and disease prevention. It is also used to analyze, diagnose and treat diseases. Astrology was widely used in medicine in ancient times. Before 400 AD, Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, once said: "Without knowledge of astrology, a doctor has no right to call himself a doctor." When the ancients saw a doctor, the doctor first drew a person's birth chart to understand the patient's physiological composition and relationship between celestial bodies. To this day, astrology still provides information about a person's menstrual cycle and digestive system, choosing a diet that corresponds to the patient's physiology and eliminating stress in sensitive physiological areas of the patient. The principle of astrology is to regard people as a reflection of the universe, and individual physiology corresponds to celestial bodies. Astrology plays a role in the prevention and treatment of diseases when a certain planet transits the Sun. Sometimes, helping clients understand the movement of the planet can relieve their confusion and achieve a soothing effect. In astrology, each sign corresponds to a part of the human body, an adrenal gland, and some beneficial foods and nutrients. These parts are sensitive parts of the body and sometimes life's treasures. For example, Taurus rules the throat, and Taurus usually has a talent for singing. Barbra Streisand, Cher and Li Na are all Taurus. However, sometimes it is unexpectedly fragile. But don't just use your sun sign to correspond to these physical components. Astrological medicine considers your birth chart, all components of your body, not just your sun sign.

The following is the corresponding relationship between zodiac signs and body parts.

Aries - Head

Taurus - Neck and Throat

Gemini - Arms, Nervous System and Lungs

Cancer - Stomach and Chest

Leo - heart, back and spine

Financial Astrology

It is mainly used to analyze financial markets and economic development prospects. Through the analysis of celestial and planetary cycles, financial cycles can be predicted and investment decisions can be guided. At the same time, the nature and cycle of the company are also studied to guide the company's development strategy. A Washington astrologer has teamed up with an investment firm to use astrology as an investment guide. Astrology also JP Morgan, founder of the world investment bank JP Morgan, uses astrology to guide his investments. He founded the United States Steel Company and the Pacific Railroad. He famously said, "Millionaires don't believe in astrology, but billionaires do." Financial astrology is also used for personal financial income and investments. We all have ups and downs in life. When certain planets are not conducive to business development, such as when Neptune passes through an important planet in the birth chart, investment is like "beating a dog and eating a meat bun, and you will never come back." However, this is a good time for a person to turn to the spiritual world for development. Financial astrology also looks at the attitude toward "material resources" in a person's birth chart. Some people are born with certain advantages, and if they are not used, they will be wasted. Some people are born disadvantaged in certain aspects, and astrology can help them avoid helpless natural disasters.

Astrology

Astrology is the search for celestial answers from astrologers when there is no definite certainty about an event.

It was widely used in 17th-century England, with the most famous astrologer of the time, William Lilly, using it more than 2,000 times a year. Even people who have lost something don't go to the police but tell the astrologer "Who stole our stuff?" Where is it? ". In modern times, people still seek divination to reveal secrets when they can't make a decision. The most commonly asked question is "Should I get married?" "Can I get a promotion?" "Should I buy a house?" "Wait, personal decision. Some people use it for sports betting too." Can Manchester Football Team win? "

Divination is very similar to Chinese divination. It is based on the divination images at that time to judge whether it is feasible and whether God can help others. Astrologers draw the horoscope chart at that time based on the time of the question. The principle is to believe that time is Quality, the time when the question is asked is the answer. Looking for the answer is like a detective solving a crime, looking for clues from the sky. Astrologers judge the sky potential based on the position of the planet at that moment, and find relevant signals through the planet's dominant field. When the planet that dominates the question is in a favorable position, the answer is yes, otherwise it is no. Ancient divination is only concerned with a specific event, and its answer is simply "yes", "no", or "yes". It's not the right time, so you can't ask him."

Except for the similarity in planetary principles, it has little to do with psychological astrology. It does not involve any major life issues, and the questioner has no intention of answering his own psychological questions. "Growth , development, complexes, soul" and other topics meant nothing to the ancient diviners. Therefore, the famous ancient Taurus fortune teller in London had a negative attitude towards modern psychological astrology. In his opinion, psychological astrology is ambiguous and vague. , mysterious. On the other hand, psychologists respect ancient divination and learn some techniques of ancient divination, but still believe that "free will" is more important.

Elective astrology

As the name suggests, it means choosing the most favorable auspicious day based on the nature of the event. Some astrologers are also employed by companies to provide advice on company registration times, meetings, and itineraries. The contracting time of some companies is also determined by astrologers. The astrology is the same. A newly established company is like a person who is born. At that moment, the newly established company carries the information of the universe. According to the nature of the company, the time chosen for the company's development is similar to the Chinese almanac. Used in personal life, such as marriage, travel and other important decisions. A marriage is also like the birth of a new person, and the date of marriage is also important for future marriages.

Placement Selective Astrology

There is also a kind of astrology that is used to understand that the choice of location also affects people. Its principle is that as soon as a person is born, the positions of the rising and setting planets on the earth have also been fixed. Some places are suitable for people to develop, and some are suitable for people to develop. Places bring trouble to people's lives. What is suitable for him may not be suitable for your development. Some places are good for luck, and some are accidents. The rise and fall of planets in a person's birthday chart can be realized in a specific place. When a person feels bad facts, physical discomfort, poor interpersonal relationships, and low mood in a certain place, he should consider changing places.
