3 Key Ways Astrology Can Help Improve Your Life
This topic probably has your eyebrow raised a little bit. You may be asking yourself, ‘Is it even possible to use astrology to make your life better?’ Well, the simple answer is yes, it is possible to improve the quality of your life using astrology. The fact that 30% of Americans believe in astrology shows that it plays an important role in influencing the life choices people make. Indeed, it even shapes, to some extent, the kind of personalities people take for themselves. So, how can you use astrology to improve your life?
Does Astrology Work?
The comparatively small percentage of Americans that believe in astrology shows that not everybody believes in it – and that is very understandable. It can be very difficult to believe that some diving mysterious elements in the stars have a role to play in your personal choices and traits – it even sounds a little absurd.
At the same time, a quick look on the internet, especially social media platforms, and you may notice how often people excuse their behaviors on name numerology and personality. Most people are beginning to identify with horoscopes and using them as guides for decision-making. Unfortunately, aside from individual experiences, there is hardly any academic research done into this subject as the subject is considered irrational by many.
- Astrology Can Help You To Understand Others
Consider a working environment, for example. Suppose there are people of various nationalities working at the same place. Would it be right to predict their character based simply on their nationality? And would that character prediction affect how you feel and relate to them? Take, for example, an American and an Asian in the same office. Armed with the knowledge that your Asian colleague is raised in a culture of respectfully bowing instead of shaking hands or hugging, will you ‘greet’ this person the same way you would the American? Will you be offended if your Asian colleague bows anytime he/she meets you instead of hugging? Please note, these are simply examples.
Knowing certain things about people can help understand and relate better with people – and this includes knowing things like their sun sign. It will also help guide you as to how to predict their behavior or what to expect from them. Can you marry a Pisces man? How do you know if a Scorpio woman is in love with you? Do Sagittarius people make good friends?
- Astrology Can Help You To Understand Yourself
It is one thing understanding others, and it is quite another thing understanding yourself. And the latter is very important if you want to be able to live and enjoy an intentional life. Let’s compare it to playing a game of cards. You may have the best cards in your hands, but if you do not understand them or know how to play them, then the chances are that you are not going to win the game. The same applies to knowledge about yourself and how to apply such knowledge. Knowing and understanding yourself better gives you one of the most powerful tools you need in life.
Individually, it can be very difficult to be objective with ourselves. We are capable of writing off certain habits or excusing them. However, astrology offers a more objective presentation of personalities. This gives us the chance to understand ourselves better and make better life choices as a result of that understanding. You can consider it like an operation annual about your own self. It will offer you very important pointers and useful information about yourself in ways that you may not have considered before.
- Astrology Can Help In Making Future Plans
Horoscopes are drawing in popularity as more and more people, especially on the internet, are beginning to apply them to their personal lives. Although this is very helpful, astrology offers way more than that. It offers you the chance to get a deeper understanding of certain events around you and put you in a better position to make the appropriate adjustment where need be. This can be very important when making plans for the future.
For example, have you ever been caught up in one of those days when nothing seems to be working for you? It could start with waking up late for work and not even hearing your alarm even though you had set the time. Then you can’t seem to get anything right going for you throughout the day, no matter how hard you try. Astrology can help in shedding some light on when, why, and how these things happen, as well as how we can better plan in the future.
