Discovered thousands of years ago, astrology is the field of study that deals in the positions and movements of celestial bodies and how those bodies might affect human life, behavior, and other affairs. Though astrology is often termed a pseudoscience because scientists deny the logic or rationale behind it, it nevertheless remains widely popular across modern day cultures. This belief has its roots deep inside the oldest cultures of the world, and it holds a lot of significance in Hindu and Chinese mythology.
Astrology was created initially to tell time. Hence, it is also called the calendar of the universe. It divides periods into twelve sections where each section represents a zodiac sign.
Everyone has a zodiac sign, which they can find easily using their date of birth. And, according to a recent breakdown by The Pearl Source, every astrological sign has an individual gemstone that’s best suited for it. It’s said that wearing the right stone can help you channel your strengths and suppress your weaknesses (if you believe in that sort of thing).
