The Basics of Astrology If your knowledge of Astrology limits to the name of your sign, be aware that this old 'science' could offer you something more than what you can read in your newspaper's daily horoscope. Indeed one of the most powerful possibilities of Astrology is not so much the prediction of future events (which might be achieved with the analisys of transits), but a quite deep psychological analisys of your personality. The principal instruments Astrology makes use of are: Planetary positions in Houses Planetary positions in Signs Aspects among Planets Houses' positions in Signs And for prediction: Transient Planets' positions in Houses Transient Planets' positions in Signs Aspects among Transient and Radical Planets The accurate analisys of these elements provides a huge amount of data, which can be joined to obtain a synthetic description of your psyche (highest accuracy), tendencies, tastes, background and soma, and in some cases to be able to - if not really predict - know with a certain degree of probability how a certain situation could develop.
