What do stars tell me about life?


What do stars tell me about life? I don’t know. I think that stars are very beautiful. What do they tell me about life? Hamm……. Let me think for a moment. Stars are like us people. They also have their circle of life. They are born and they can also die. We have the same life style. If you observe them very much you will see that they are very much like us. You see, we have the earth as our home. And they have the outer space as their home, so were alike if we compare their home to ours. If we say, we have a family, they also have their own family, I think. You will see the constellations they are a group of stars, they are just like a family of stars. So if we compare our family with theirs, it’s just the same. We all know that we are born, stars are also born. Stars that are about to be born are called protostars and babies that are about to be born are called an infant. Sometimes when we look at the stars we can imagine that all our ancestors that passed away are there looking from the stars. And sometimes I imagine that all my relatives that already passed away are one of those stars. Some stars form familiar shapes. They are also grouping each other to form a constellation like: Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Leo, Bootes, Sagittarius etc. they tell us about our horoscope. In astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, the astrological aspects, and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a person's birth. The word "horoscope" is derived from Greek words meaning "a look at the hours" (horoskopos, pl. horoskopoi, or "marker(s) of the hour.") Other commonly used names for the horoscope in English include astrological chart, astro-chart, celestial map, sky-map, star-chart, cosmogram, vitasphere, radical chart, radix, chart wheel, or simply chart, among others. It is used as a method of divination regarding events relating to the point in time it represents and forms the basis of the horoscopic traditions of astrology. A horoscope calculated for the birth of a person is called a natal chart (also known as a natus, birth chart, and/or nativity). In common usage, horoscope often refers to an astrologer's interpretation, usually through a system known as sun sign astrology. In particular, many newspapers and magazines carry horoscope columns based on celestial influences in relation to the placement of the Sun in the Zodiac on the day of a person's birth, identifying the person's sun sign. To create a horoscope, an astrologer first has to ascertain the exact time and place of the subject's birth, or the initiation of an event. The local standard time (adjusting for any daylight savings time or war time) is then converted into Greenwich Mean Time or Universal Time at that same instant, which in turn is translated into the sidereal time at Greenwich. The astrologer will next consult a set of tables called an ephemeris, which lists the location of the sun, moon and planets for a particular year, date and sidereal time, with respect to the northern hemisphere vernal equinox or the fixed stars (depending on which astrological system is being used). The astrologer then adds or subtracts the difference between the longitude of Greenwich and the longitude of the place in question to determine the true local mean time (LMT) at the place of birth to show where planets would be visible above the horizon at the precise time and place in question. Planets hidden from view beneath the earth are also shown in the horoscope. The horoscope is then divided into 12 sectors around the circle of the ecliptic, starting from the eastern horizon where objects are just rising into view. These are called the houses and numerous systems for calculating these divisions exist. Tables of houses have been published since the 19th Century to make this otherwise demanding task easier. The stars tell me about everything that I have to know.
