Understanding Horoscopic Astrology
Horoscopic Astrology is a one of the many astrological systems in existence today. Some claim it developed in the Mediterranean region during the late 2nd or early 1st century BC. It is also closely linked to the Vedic astrology, which some say is the oldest surviving form of horoscopic astrology.
In Vedic astrology a two-dimensional diagram divides the heavens. Horoscopes, or astrological charts, are created from this by measuring the alignment of the celestial bodies against specific moments in time and from a specific point on Earth. The horoscope is also divided into 12 celestial houses. To properly cast a horoscope, calculations are performed using arithmetic and geometry.
Horoscopic astrology is different from other astrological traditions because of the computation of the degree of the Eastern horizon rising against the backdrop of the ecliptic at the specified moment. This is also known as the ascendant.
This type of astrology is also the most widespread in places like Africa, India, Europe and the Middle East. Most Western astrological traditions are rooted in Hellenistic origins.
Today, horoscopic astrology is divided into four branches that is determined by objective. Natal astrology uses the person’s birth chart, Katarchic astrology is geared more towards divination of events, Horary astrology answers specific questions and World astrology is applied to the interpretation of world events.
