Star program
What is Astrology?
Astrology is the science of the stars. Astra is a star, logos is science. Astronomy conducts all calculations, and astrology, using them, speaks about the character and fate of a person.
How can the fact that the Sun is located in a particular constellation affect a person's character?

Take, for example, two opposite signs. Capricorn is winter. He is purposeful, collected, because in winter it is impossible to do otherwise, you will not survive, you need to be focused and responsible. And take the twins - this is summer, and the sign is such - frivolous, sociable. In summer there is a lot of energy, and there is an opportunity to squander it here and there, but where have you seen the chatty ibex?
Yes, maybe they will not constantly live in one season of the year, but their soul - the monad - came at a certain time and this stellar program is still embedded in them for life.
The sun is the closest star to us, and where it is at the moment of a person's birth, of course, affects him. We feel differently in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is important what the season is now, and the fact that the Sun is at this moment, for example, in the constellation Scorpio, is very conditional, it can be seen from the Earth.
Physically, only the Sun and the Moon affect us, and everything else is just like the divisions of the clock, which have their own cycle. The moon runs fast, it runs this circle in a month, and it, of course, has a very strong effect on us. All physiology, our entire emotional world depends on the Moon. For example, on a full moon, all life processes occur faster: metabolism, metabolism. The dough rises faster even on the full moon.
Similar but not the same
In our city, 10 children were born in one day, will they all have similar characters and fates?
The cycles of fate will be similar. The character is also, but not the same, because they will be born at different hours, the shades will be different.
But character depends on genes, on what kind of parents, on the environment, upbringing …
Well, in general, it is believed that the soul chooses its own parents, as well as the exact time and place of birth. Of course, then something will depend on upbringing and education, astrology is responsible for the initial predisposition. Fate is the essence of God in Russian.
And then, people born in the same zodiac sign are also not the same. There are two fictitious planets in the horoscope, but they work very strongly, this is the white moon - Selena, and the black moon - Lilith. And it is important which path a person chooses in this life - either dark or light.
Take, for example, twins again, their frivolity, talkativeness, absent-mindedness - this is negative. If he follows a higher program, in this life he needs to create his own description of the world, this is his own concept of worldview, a philosophical trend. But our social institutions do not educate this in a person, they impose their cliché, their ideology.
Are all signs the same in their evolutionary degree?
In astrology, Aries is considered the first sign, and Pisces is the twelfth. It turns out that Aries is the youngest sign, and people who have the Sun and planets in fish are considered evolutionarily older, they have more experience, they have lived more lives, it is believed that fish is a synthesis of all signs. But this does not mean that being a ram is bad, for some reason he chose this time to start something again, to be a student.
Without astrology, nowhere
How serious is astrology science? Should you trust her in everything?
The engineer Gerolamo Cardano and the mathematician Johannes Kepler, for example, were astrologers. There could have been more of them, but at all times astrologers were destroyed. Because a knowledgeable person became dangerous for the authorities, for religion. Many ancient structures, such as Stonehenge or the Egyptian pyramids, were built taking into account the synchronization of the movements of the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon. Astrology helped people in simple things, for example, when you need to start sowing, somewhere you need to start sowing in April, on Sakhalin in June, and everywhere there were people who knew this for sure. The farmer had his own calendar, ancient jugs and bowls with paintings are still found, and there are zodiacal signs everywhere, simply marked in different ways.
Do other planets affect humans?
The influence of other planets is less obvious, but also there. They make up different cycles, 7-year, 9, 12-year, you can remember what happened to you then, the situation will be about the same. The 12-year cycle is a very important cycle of Jupiter, every reader of this article can remember that year when he was 12 years old, 24 years old, 36 years old, as a rule, this is a very good year for a person. As the Chinese say, Jupiter is a great happiness, it brings all the blessings of the world.
The seven-year cycle of the fictitious planet Selene (white moon) is also auspicious. When a person is 14, 21, 28, 35 - these are also quite bright years.
Every nine years, there are years of testing, Lilith, the black moon, is responsible for them. 18 years old - the first difficulties of adulthood, at 27 years old - a very difficult year. This planet also does not exist, but such a cycle is followed by astrologers.
Saturn has a cycle of 29 and a half years, during his life he comes back twice, those who are lucky - three, these are turning points.
Is astrology wrong?
One percent. There are some moments in fate when chance is intertwined. As for the characteristics, then you may think so. Well, for example, a Gemini woman, you look at her and think that she does not look like a twin, but her moon is in Aries, so she will act like Aries.
Year of the Hedgehog
What is the Zoroastrian calendar?
This is an ancient calendar, which is also called Avestan or Aryan. This calendar was circulated in the Iranian Empire before the Muslim invasion. It is inscribed in avesta on calf skins in gold ink. The Avesta is an ancient book, it is even older than the Indian Vedas, 610 BC.
Our Zoroastrian calendar became famous and widespread in the 90s. It was translated from the Pahlavi language by Pavel Globa. There are 32 signs in this horoscope - 32 years, why? This is due to the cycle of Saturn, then it was exactly 32 years, and now it has decreased to 29.5 years. This year, the new year of the Hedgehog will begin on March 21 at dawn, when the Sun moves from the constellation Pisces to the sign of Aries.
What will the Hedgehog Year bring us?
The hedgehog is infinitely active, even fussy, often engages in unequal fights and knows secret ways to get out of them as a winner. He has a rebellious and cocky character, he has many ill-wishers. Speaks, especially without hesitation, can offend with a joke. Hedgehogs are very faithful in friendship and love, but they do not trust anyone infinitely. They will not be too lazy to check your words and reveal a lie. His excellent memory helps to compare only inconspicuous facts to him, he cannot be fooled. He behaves calmly and restrained, but is ready to attack at any moment. He chooses friends and acquaintances carefully and patiently. Quite often, a hedgehog decides on risky tricks. Throughout the year, the qualities of people who are in the character of a hedgehog will be appreciated, and it is for them that this year will be favorable. Of course, the year itself is good for the hedgehogs themselves, as well as for thosewho has a difference of 16 years from this year. For them, 2018 could be life-changing.
