Discovering An Astrological Consultation And Different Forms

By Dorothy Edwards


When it comes to Astrology, there are several options when it comes to acquiring a reading. In addition, there are several different forms of readings. For example, when getting an Astrological Consultation, it is important to know whether the reader is reading from a Western, Hindu, Chinese or East Asian perspective.

As most anyone whom has completed an online astrology reading or requested one through email knows, the items requested are birth date, time of birth, location of birth and current date. Once the reader has all this information, there are a number of different ways in which a chart can be developed. For some, it is through an online program. Whereas, there are others whom use a number of different books and other resources to create a neo-natal chart.

By identifying the movement and direction of these celestial bodies, consultants can often locate placement of the planets as related to the individual. In doing so, a reader can learn a great deal about personality traits and aspects that will effecting the individual at the time of the reading and in the future. While, there can often be a great deal of information related to the past, the focus is most often on present and future.

While the Hindu form brings the earliest text on astronomy to the forefront of astrology. The text known as Vedanga Jytisha while first related to astronomy eventually also revealed a connection to astrology.

In the beginning, the Hellenistic aspects were the earliest known aspects. Since Hindu natal astrology is based on this method, it is often considered the birth point of astrology. In this particular form, readings are based Hindu lunar mansions and Greek zodiac symbols Kriya, Krios and others.

Chinese philosophy and astrology share a common bond. For, both have common themes such as using the three harmonies of heaven, earth and man. In addition, the use of the yin and yang symbols and male and female energies are also found in both aspects. While these are basic aspects of this form, there are also celestial stems and earthly branches which are also part of a reading.

Unlike astrology as it is known today, early Chinese astrology was very political in nature. In fact, most readings were in relation to political movements at the time. As such, the observation of days, events, decisions, identification of portents and unusual phenomena were all part of this early form.

In Eastern Asia, constellations and planets are not used as in other forms. For, in that area, there are three enclosures of the sky and twenty eight mansions which are believed to reside within the twelve aspects of Ci. As such, the well known animal signs known in Chinese astrology and the zodiac do not exist in the Eastern Asia forms.

Whatever style a consultant uses, it can often be exciting to compare readings. For example, after seeing a consultant, an individual can do a free online reading. Whereas, others do online readings, then feel the need to see a consultant in order to learn more about the information retrieved.
