STRLG has a focus on Tropical Astrology, also known as "Western Astrology."
Tropical astrology is based on the position of the sun at the time of a person's birth. It divides the sky into twelve zodiac signs, each associated with specific personality traits and characteristics. Western astrology uses the birth date to determine one's sun sign, which is the most well-known aspect of the astrological profile. It also considers the positions of other celestial bodies like the moon, planets, and rising sign (ascendant) to provide a more comprehensive astrological analysis. Horoscopes and astrological charts are common tools in Western astrology to gain insights into an individual's personality, relationships, and life path.
Other Types of Astrology:
Chinese Astrology (Chinese Zodiac): Chinese astrology, also known as the Chinese Zodiac, is based on a 12-year cycle, each year represented by a different animal sign. These animal signs are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (or Sheep), Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. The Chinese Zodiac also considers the element associated with each animal sign (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), creating a 60-year cycle. It uses a person's birth year to determine their animal sign and element, associated with specific personality traits, compatibility with other signs, and predictions for different life aspects, including career, relationships, and health. The Chinese Zodiac plays a significant cultural and social role in many East Asian countries and is used for various purposes, from fortune-telling to matchmaking.
Vedic Astrology (Jyotish): Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish, is an ancient system of astrology originating in India. It is similar to Western astrology but incorporates different calculations and techniques. Vedic astrology places a strong emphasis on the moon's position and uses a sidereal zodiac.
Mayan Astrology: The Mayans had their own astrological system, which was based on the Mayan calendar. It consists of 20 day signs (glyphs) combined with a 13-day cycle, creating a 260-day calendar known as the Tzolk'in. Mayan astrology is used for divination and character analysis.
