Every January 6, World Astrology Day is celebrated to raise awareness of the importance of this discipline that has studied, since ancient times, the influence of the position of the constellations or planets of the solar system on human life.
This anniversary coincides with Three Kings' Day, since the Three Wise Men were priests and wise men who were capable of interpreting the movements of the stars.
Astrology symbolizes the connection of man with the Universe. According to the postulates of traditional astrology, the personality and destiny of human beings is determined by their astrological ascendant and zodiac sign, given the planetary position and its connection with the person's date of birth.
What is Astrology?
Astrology is defined as a pseudoscience that studies the position and movement of the stars, with the purpose of interpreting celestial events, constellations, predicting terrestrial events and the destiny of people.
It has been shown that this discipline lacks scientific validity, being classified as pseudoscientific.
From the etymological point of view, the word Astrology means "discourse about the stars." Astrology, Western, Chinese, Hindu and Vedic are highlighted.
Western Astrology, commonly known in much of the world, is based on the study of the effects of the sun, moon and planets of the solar system. Some stars such as Antares, Espiga and Regulus also influence.
How did the creation of this world day originate?
This anniversary was proposed in 1979 by the Uruguayan astrologer Boris Cristoff, and was approved by 102 astrological organizations in the Western world.
It is celebrated on the same day as the Three Wise Men, due to the close relationship of Astrology with this traditional celebration, given that the star of Bethlehem was considered a biblical symbol of the Three Wise Men or astrologers of the East when following it, to guide oneself to the place of birth of Jesus Christ.
In the ancient world, constellations were observed and studied. The kings consulted their astrologers and created birth charts. On the other hand, it was considered that astrology and magic attacked religions.
Currently, astrology provides explanations and meanings to connect man with the universe.
