How Astrology WORKS
Often sceptics struggle to understand how Astrology works, thinking that believers are some how failing to understand science.
Well I know Astrology does work and It does so by giving us a framework to our personalities and life events, as well as the world around us.
In Modern Western Astrology, an Astrologer delineates primarily by the positions the planets were, are or will be in according to the Tropical Zodiac, in relation to our position on planet Earth (Geocentric) when we were born (natal), the aspects they make, their progressed natal position (progressions) and where they, the planets and points, are at any given moment in time in relation to the natal chart, known as transits.

Generally we use a chart to interpret the planets positions in relation to our precise position on Earth and in doing so we can find other sensitive points that are not real heavenly bodies but still have a huge influence on us.
Therefore it is nothing to with gravitational pull of planets or anything like that, or any kind of pseudoscientific nonsense espoused by sceptics who mistakenly think they know what Astrologers and Astrology enthusiasts believe in about how Astrology works.
Astrology works by using a chart of the sky as a map; The map of the sky, the chart, can show the past, present or future, and it is up to us or the Astrologer to interpret what that map says about us and the direction that map will lead us or has led us to ‘chart a course’ for.
It is important to remember that we are all Captain of our own ship, and as such, sometimes you are in control of charting and following that course and sometimes the Astrological weather is so strong it takes you, and the rest of mankind and human history, places you hadn't intended to go.
A skilled Astrologer can see the Astrological weather coming, just like a weather forecaster, but they are not there to tell you how to live your life, only to offer help and guidance in weathering the storms or giving you a heads up and letting you know when there are calmer seas to enjoy.
After all Astrology is an art form not a science and should never be treated as such even though it contains many scientific elements in the working out of planetary positions etc.
As an art form it requires imagination and creativity to help with interpretations as well as a strong understanding of how the planets and star signs behave and relate to each other.
It’s best to remember that Astrology does not show certainties but possibilities, sometimes many conflicting possibilities and it is up to the skill of the Astrologer to decide which possibility is the most likely outcome. - ©2023 Declination
