Jubilee21 minutes read

Astrology, while lacking scientific proof, is viewed as a reliable tool by believers for personal insight, categorizing individuals into zodiac signs with unique influences and interpretations. The debate on whether astrology is a soft science continues, with its focus on interpreting celestial energies to understand individuals on a personal level rather than being backed by scientific evidence.

Insights

  • The rising sign in astrology holds more significance than the sun sign, reflecting initial impressions and self-perception when meeting others, while astrology itself is considered a belief system interpreting celestial energies for personal understanding, emphasizing the human element and balancing logic with spirituality.
