Horoscopes: Myth or Magic?

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul 20, 2007 -
Horoscope indicates the position of the sun, moon, planets and other important stars at the time of a person’s birth. It is believed that the relative position of stars have influence over human lives. Believers give horoscopes and astrology the status of science whereas non-believers dismiss it as complete poppycock. Yet, it is very difficult to ignore the impact of horoscopes in our lives; even non-believers indulge themselves by reading their daily horoscopes in newspapers.

Horoscopes play a major role in shaping our personal relationships. Compatibility between two individuals is often determined by their horoscopes. It is naturally logical to ask about the roles that stars can play in determining the best match possible.

Horoscopes tell us the essence of our personality:  Many skeptics hold that horoscopes are just general phases that are arranged and rearranged to fit anybody. But more often than not horoscopes turn out to be an accurate description of a person’s actual nature. Many astrologers believe that an individual’s sun sign can be up to eighty percent correct. Sun signs can reveal deeply ingrained attitudes in individuals. People from diverse cultural, economic and social backgrounds but of the same sign are likely to display uncanny similarities to each other.

This is where the validity of sun signs in determining compatibility comes in. If two individuals have similar inclinations and attitudes, they will complement each other in a relationship. It is their ‘inner’ nature that will keep them together.

Is it important to get horoscopes matched for compatibility?  If two people feel they are perfect for each other, there is no need to match horoscopes. However in case of a new relationship or uncertainty about a relationship, it is a very good idea to match horoscopes. If the two signs are well- matched then the chances of the relationship succeeding is very high. After all, most people want to be with a partner who understands them. Horoscopes definitely provide you the key to understanding your partner’s idiosyncrasies and the unique person that your partner is.

How much should I trust horoscopes?  Blind faith is always bad; never believe everything that a horoscope says about a person. It is important to keep in mind that everyone is a product of their background and culture, therefore judging them solely by their horoscope is a disaster.

Horoscopes will allow you to understand the person better. If you find certain habit of your partner as irritating or unacceptable, horoscopes can effectively explain those traits and help you to understand each other better. A successful relationship, after all, is about appreciating and recognizing each other. Isn’t it?

Sun signs or Chinese Horoscope:  Sun signs are based on the solar calendar, and determined by the month of your birth. Whereas, the Chinese zodiac signs is based on twelve year lunar cycle and the birth year is important. Both the systems have been widely accepted as successful ways of matching compatibility. They are both equally effective, so choosing any system is completely a personal discretion.

There is nothing more fulfilling than a satisfying love relationship. Horoscopes are the guide that helps you in your attempt to understand each other.
