Discovering An Astrological Consultation And Chart Reading

By Dorothy Edwards


When it comes to Astrology, there are several options when it comes to acquiring a reading. In addition, there are several different forms of readings. For example, when getting an Astrological Consultation, it is important to know whether the reader is reading from a Western, Hindu, Chinese or East Asian perspective.

In Astrology, there are different techniques, these include Eastern Asian, Chinese, Hindu and Western. Most often, readers in America and Europe are using a Western approach. Whereas, there are a number of readers in different areas whom also use others. As such, when obtaining a reading, it is often helps to understand which approach will be used when acquiring a reading.

By identifying the movement and direction of these celestial bodies, consultants can often locate placement of the planets as related to the individual. In doing so, a reader can learn a great deal about personality traits and aspects that will effecting the individual at the time of the reading and in the future. While, there can often be a great deal of information related to the past, the focus is most often on present and future.

While the Hindu form brings the earliest text on astronomy to the forefront of astrology. The text known as Vedanga Jytisha while first related to astronomy eventually also revealed a connection to astrology.

Hindu natal astrology originated with the Hellenistic aspects of astrology. In this form, the reading is based on incorporating Hindu lunar mansions with Greek zodiac signs such as Krios and Kriya among others. As such, the Varaha Mihira's texts are often considered proof of the Greek and Hindu origin of astrology.

Sharing a close relationship with Chinese philosophy, Chinese astrology focuses on three harmonies, man, earth and heaven. In this form, the concepts of male and female or yin and yang are often used on a regular basis. In addition, there are twelve earthly branches, ten celestial stems and time keeping which are used for religious purposes. For, while many Chinese are not religious, there are a number whom are considered spiritual in nature.

Unlike astrology as it is known today, early Chinese astrology was very political in nature. In fact, most readings were in relation to political movements at the time. As such, the observation of days, events, decisions, identification of portents and unusual phenomena were all part of this early form.

In Eastern Asia, constellations are a big part of these type of readings. For, the focus in this form is on the three enclosures of the sky. Whereas, there are 28 mansions in 12 zones of Ci. While the animal zodiac used in Chinese readings are popular around the world, there is a great deal less known when it comes to Eastern Asia astrology and readings when it comes to zodiacs and symbols.

Whatever style a consultant uses, it can often be exciting to compare readings. For example, after seeing a consultant, an individual can do a free online reading. Whereas, others do online readings, then feel the need to see a consultant in order to learn more about the information retrieved.
