Astrology is as important to male or female as is psychology. This branch of knowledge deals with the human soul deriving awareness of the mind from the careful examination of the facts of consciousness. Astrology complements everything in psychology because it examines the facts of planetary influences on the conscious and subconscious, providing a guideline towards all aspects of life, harmony of mind, body and spirit. This is the real use of astrology.
SUN SIGN-Sun sign in astrology has become the roaring chariot, with spokes of golden fire; the influence of Sun has woven into the Secrets of Astrology horoscopes of a new generation of people who has only a vague idea about astrology.
As interest in astrology escalated with the modern generation, so the Sun sign theme rose in popularity and became a piece of conversation at parties. Now a Virgo man complains that he is very different from another Virgo man and proves that astrology is nothing but a hoax. Actually this is not so, only the Sun sign will not help you. You have to check Ascendant, Moon sign, placement of other planets in the
horoscope, which affect the Sun sign that changes the personality very radically.
Due to a constant flow of the astrological journals, columns in newspapers, the people have become Sun-sign-conscious. Such readings are too general and are not applicable to everybody but on the other hand misguides people and astrology is defamed. As an example when one discovers that he/she is a Leo, they imagine him/her as a passionate lover, but this is not always correct.
So do not depend on Sun sign only. You must get your horoscope checked by a competent astrologer. Sun or Solar horoscope cast from date of birth is not the real birth chart but a fiction because the real Ascendant, mid-heaven etc. cannot be cast correctly.
MOON SIGN-Our ancients have advocated the use of Moon sign (Janam Rasi) which gives fairly more accurate results than the Sun sign. This sign is very important in Hindu astrology for matching the horoscopes to see whether one might be happier with a boy or a girl, as the Moon indicates many of one's basic reactions to both sexes.
So, astrology being a perfect science, can be usefully employed in the delineation of one's horoscope through a competent astrologer.
