Related to astrology and horoscopes about people’s lives.
Astrological means having to do with astrology, a belief system that claims the positions of stars and planets at the moment of your birth shape your personality and predict your future.
If you've ever heard someone ask “What's your sign?” they're talking about astrological signs like Leo, Virgo, or Capricorn. These are twelve sections of the sky that the sun appears to move through during the year. People who follow astrology read their astrological forecast or horoscope in newspapers or online, looking for predictions about their day, week, or year ahead.
It's important to understand that astrology is not the same as astronomy. Astronomy is the scientific study of stars, planets, and space, using telescopes and mathematics to understand how the universe works. Astronomers are scientists who have made genuine discoveries about our cosmos. Astrology, by contrast, is a belief system without scientific support. When scientists test astrological predictions carefully, they find no evidence that the stars and planets influence human personality or events on Earth.
Many people enjoy reading their horoscope for fun, the same way they might enjoy fortune cookies or personality quizzes.
