Western astrology is a belief system that suggests the positions and movements of celestial bodies, like the Sun, Moon, and planets, can influence human behavior and personality traits. It is based on the twelve signs of the zodiac, each associated with specific characteristics and elements. Astrologers create horoscopes by analyzing the positions of these celestial bodies at the time of a person's birth. Each zodiac sign corresponds to a specific time of year, and people often identify with their sun sign, which is determined by their birth date.
