Astrology

---

Most of us know a little about astrology. In my experience, many people snicker a bit when the subject of the zodiac is mentioned, but I find it interesting that 99% of the people I talk to know their own sign.

Why is astrology so often viewed with idle curiosity (or even skepticism), yet almost everyone can tell you his/her own zodiac sign? Perhaps it's because there is merit to astrology. Perhaps there is truth in the language of the stars, and deep inside, everyone acknowledges that truth. Astrology has been around for as long as humankind has observed the activities of the skies. To liken the movement of the planets and stars to our own human lives is a brilliant concept. Indeed, scientists confirm that the heavens are a macrocosm to our own physical being (which would be the microcosm). In short, the universe mirrors our human-ness and vice versa.
