Understanding The History Behind An Astrological Consultation

By Dorothy Edwards


When it comes to Astrology, there are several options when it comes to acquiring a reading. In addition, there are several different forms of readings. For example, when getting an Astrological Consultation, it is important to know whether the reader is reading from a Western, Hindu, Chinese or East Asian perspective.

In Astrology, there are different techniques, these include Eastern Asian, Chinese, Hindu and Western. Most often, readers in America and Europe are using a Western approach. Whereas, there are a number of readers in different areas whom also use others. As such, when obtaining a reading, it is often helps to understand which approach will be used when acquiring a reading.

The Sun, Moon, stars and planets all play a role in this type reading. In addition, the twelve spatial aspects of the sky often known as houses are often used in defining current and future events based on which houses planets are in at any given time.

The text known as Vedanga Jytisha was first related to astronomy. Some time later, it was discovered the text also had an astrological connection. As such, it is often considered the first text related to either topic. While this is the case, it should be noted that it is most often considered Greek Hindu rather than just Hindu when being used in readings.

In the beginning, the Hellenistic aspects were the earliest known aspects. Since Hindu natal astrology is based on this method, it is often considered the birth point of astrology. In this particular form, readings are based Hindu lunar mansions and Greek zodiac symbols Kriya, Krios and others.

Sharing a close relationship with Chinese philosophy, Chinese astrology focuses on three harmonies, man, earth and heaven. In this form, the concepts of male and female or yin and yang are often used on a regular basis. In addition, there are twelve earthly branches, ten celestial stems and time keeping which are used for religious purposes. For, while many Chinese are not religious, there are a number whom are considered spiritual in nature.

Unlike more traditional forms of astrology, early Chinese versions were far more political than others. In fact, most early associations with astrology in China were political in nature. As such, whether observation for days, unusual phenomena or identification of portents, all were part of the Chinese form from the earliest days until present time.

Constellations, like those used in Western Asia and Europe were not used in the Chinese form. Instead, there were three enclosures of the sky and twenty eight mansions in twelve zones of Ci. When it comes to the animal signs associated with Chinese astrology which are quite popular around the world, these are related to twelve different aspects or personality traits.

Whatever style a consultant uses, it can often be exciting to compare readings. For example, after seeing a consultant, an individual can do a free online reading. Whereas, others do online readings, then feel the need to see a consultant in order to learn more about the information retrieved.
