What is astrology? and the origins of astrology

The source of magic astrology. The sun is yang, the moon is yin, and the five stars are the five elements! Chinese astrology refers to the traditional Chinese astrology theory, based on traditional astronomy, calendar and philosophical knowledge. Astrology in China has historically been inseparable from astronomy, and was completed from the Western Han Dynasty in the 2nd century BC to the Eastern Han Dynasty in the 2nd century AD. In ancient China, Qin Tianjian was specially responsible for the exploration of astronomical phenomena

It has always been valued by feudal emperors, because people at that time believed in the unity of heaven and man, and believed that the changing stars in the sky actually heralded the rise and fall of the world. According to the constellations used in Chinese astrology, it can be divided into the real star school that uses the seven luminaries or the twenty-eight stars, or the virtual star school that uses virtual stars like Ziwei Doushu.

After thousands of years of development, ancient Chinese astronomical observers formed a set of astronomical theories with strong Chinese characteristics, but at the same time they have

many similarities with Western astronomy.

①Astrology is one of the foundations of all metaphysics

②The roots of Chinese medicine are also closely related to astrology. If you don’t understand the eight characters, you are not qualified (ancient) Chinese medicine.

Bazi is also an ancient astronomical calendar.

The current state of astrology

After the Communist Party of China established its ruling position in the mainland in 1949, after ten years of the Cultural Revolution, it is difficult for the old Chinese learning to survive, and

superstitious knowledge such as astrology and numerology cannot be spread. Mainland China is extremely unfamiliar with the popular horoscopes and ziweidoushu in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but instead makes room for the development of Western astrology.

In China, the constellation culture mentioned by most websites, apps and self-media is still at a very superficial level, the credibility is not enough, and the stickiness of users or fans is not high. From this perspective, the future development of constellation culture should tend to be specialized. The specialization of constellation culture requires the support of high-quality astrologers, but at present, many astrologers are self-taught because of their hobbies, so the quality is uneven. Thus, a market for astrology training will emerge.

Why Chinese people like astrology

In some ways, astrology has features that are well suited to the Internet age.

(1) It has a low barrier to entry, and if you want to dig deeper along the search engine, the knowledge you can acquire can be said to be almost endless. The Internet can give in-depth information, and this environment also gives a knowledge base – there are more memes about the Saturn return on the Internet, such as “Hi dear, what’s your zodiac sign?” There are fewer.

 

Let’s start with the basics: astrology is not a science, and there is no evidence that a person’s personality is related to the zodiac. But the astrological system has its own logic. Astrology places the Sun, Moon, and other planets in 12 areas of the sky—that is, the 12th house of the zodiac.

Even if you’re not an astrology fan factor, there’s a good chance you know your sun sign. The sun sign is determined by the position of the sun on your birthday. But your “birth chart” shows where the Moon and other planets were when you were born.

(2) Astrology expresses complex concepts about personality, lifestyle, and relationship patterns through the rapid depiction of planetary and horoscope symbols. On the Internet, people often use symbols and shorthand words in communication, so astrology, spread very well.

Astrology should tell you what the planets are doing now, what they will do in the future, and how they affect each sign.

Nicholas said: “Astrologers have always tried to reduce these particularly macro concepts into knowledge that the general public can digest. Modern young people and their memes are the perfect backdrop for astrology.”

As long as you learn to use these words, divination can be a good representation of human life experience and The manner of the incident corresponds to some possible responses.”

During times of stress, people tend to turn to astrology.

A 1982 study by psychologists found that “people who take astrological counseling” are designed to deal with specific stressors in their lives – especially “stresses related to one’s social roles and emotional relationships with others” . “Even if the person doesn’t believe in divination when the stress is low, in a stressful situation the teaching assistant will be ready to use divination to deal with the stress.”

Specialization and pan-entertainment are both directions of constellation culture.

In fact, behind the constellation, there is a systematic theoretical support, that is, divination.
