Astrology is based on the belief that the position of the planets and stars can determine the events of our life. We may laugh derisively at such a concept, but we cannot deny that the tidal forces of the moon strongly influence life around the seashore. The sun, our closest star, provides the radiant energy to make our crops wither or prosper. The strength of our bones depends on the Vitamin D that is produced when our skin is exposed to the sun's rays. The destructive hurricanes that spawn from the warm currents of the sea are fed by the sun's energy. It is not surprising that many ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians and the Mayas, revered the sun and the moon. Taken with a grain of salt, horoscopes may amuse us or provide astute insights.
