Life is all about uncertainties. Same is the case with us
human beings. Our lives are also as unpredictable as anything else. Life is
combination of many different situations and feelings. Sometimes we are happy
while some other times we feel frustrated and dejected. Sometimes we succeed in
our goals and tasks and sometimes we fail. This is how life works for every
person. But why life behaves in such a manner. Why is it so uncertain? What is
with all this uncertainty in our lives?
Even though science has advanced so much that it can predict
about earthquakes and tsunamis. It can discover planets that exist thousands of
miles away from us. But one thing at which modern science fails is describing
and predicting us about what is going to happen to us in near future. Science
doesn’t tell us what is going to happen in next few days or weeks. This is
where the pseudoscience called as astrology comes into the picture.
In this article I would describe how astrology originated
thousands of years ago and its various schools.
Origin:
The origin of astrology dates back to the earliest of human civilizations.
It first originated from Babylonia in nineteenth century BC. The notable
philosophers like Plato, Aristotle etc have contributed to this field of study
and that is the reason it is considered as a science by people. Initially use
of astrology was limited to predicting about issues related to agriculture,
weather and natural disasters. Today it has become part of our daily life.
Schools of Astrology:
Astrology consists of 3 schools. These schools are:
Indian Astrology:
It is also famously known as “Vedic Astrology”. Its concept
was developed by great sage known as “Parasara”. Several other prominent philosophers
also contributed towards this progress and development of this school. However
it isn’t still clear that what exact period of development of this school is? Telugu Astrology is also a very
important part of Indian astrology.
Chinese Astrology:
Other than Indian astrology, one other very ancient school
of astrology is Chinese astrology. As per some people, Chinese astrology like
Indian astrology originated thousands of years ago in China. It entered into
china using the same silk route which was the famous central Asian trade route.
This school is very popular in East Asian countries. But people from other parts
of the world also consult to this astrology.
Western Astrology:
It is very popular in US and Europe and actually came into
existence from Mesopotamia in 2nd millennium BC. Even though there
is western astrology, Indian astrology is also famous in these regions. There
is great demand of Telugu Astrologer inUSA. People opt for whatever school they considered to be better or more
suitable.
