How the Zodiac Signs are Calculated in Astrology

Video Transcript

Hi. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Gnobo A. Calypso, also known as Bryce. And I'm here to tell you about Astrology. Before we talk a little bit more about astrology, I want to give you an understanding of why it can be a little complicated and why some people steer away from it. With astrology, you could go into a very in depth astrological chart which is called a natal chart. This chart deals with the twelve houses. In order to go into a very detailed account, it takes a lot of calculations, a lot of mathematics, and a lot of time. So, a lot of people lean away from that because they don't want to get involved with those calculations. To understand astrology, you don't have to do those calculations. You could do a overview of your astrological sign which would include the Sun sign, the Ascendant, and the Moon sign. And, that would give you a really good basic understanding. I want to show you how astrology's done with a visual. And, you can buy these at any, I think I got this one at Wal-Mart. Okay, when you look at one of these diagrams of the constellations, you'll see that it's listed by month, July, June, May, April, March, February. Depending on the day, you'll move, and the time, let's say it's seven o'clock on May seventeenth. That shows you different constellations that are present to you. They're at different degrees of length depending on the latitude. If we're born above the equator or below has a lot to do with mostly the Ascendant more so than any other sign. These, this shows you where the different constellations are at this specific time. So, you have an idea if someone's born on May seventeenth at seven pm, looking at the South side, you'll see the different constellations that the person came through and what the different degrees could be. This, you don't have to know. But, this gives you an understanding of how astrology is calculated and it's mostly done by mathematics. And, it's done by looking at tables of calculations. But, this will give you a good visual to say, "now I have an understanding of how I could be considered a Crab," which would be Cancer. And, that's, this visual is as good enough as going outside and looking up at the stars at nighttime. So, this is just to create a visual for you to let you know that this is a science even though it is a soft science. And, it is based on all the stars and the constellations in the sky.
