Greeting to everyone here or reading this write up.My name is @ekojah l am glad to write on the topic of this December monthly prompt day 17 with the topic:Do You Believe in Astrology and Zodiac Signs?
I want to attack this topic by saying that what you believe in might not be the same as someone else believe.we have different believe.a popular African adege said, one man food is another Man's poison.
Humans have been attracted for many years by the night sky and the mysteries it holds.
Astrology, the study of how the celestial bodies are been positions and how they move to influence on human affairs, has done a wonderful job in the life of man.
During or throughout my staying in the village of Ichogolugwu Agatu local government area of Benue state Nigeria where celestial bodies were well viewed gave us the youth of Ichogolugwu Agatu to debate very well on the astrology and zodiac signs.If you well observed, at the heart of astrology lies the zodiac, a circle of twelve signs that are believed to influence our personalities, behaviors, and destinies. But the biggest question here is that,do you believe in astrology and zodiac signs?
Let me start with the definition of astrology as defined by my school teacher back then in College of Education Akwanga Nasarawa state of Nigeria
According to Dr . Shem, 'Astrology is the study of the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, and their influence on human affairs.' He added that, it is based on the idea that the positions of these celestial bodies at the exact time and place of an individual's birth have a profound impact on their personality, behavior, and destiny.
We also as villagers
who believe in superstition also believe what our parents said about Astrology that it is used to gain insight into various aspects of life, including relationships, career, and personal growth.
We cannot just defined Astrology and leave Zodiac alone.So by definition,we said,
zodiac is a circle of twelve signs that are used to represent the different character traits and personalities of individuals born under each sign.
According to Wikipedia of Brianna, the twelve zodiac signs are:
- Aries(March 21 - April 19): Adventurous, impulsive, and energetic people
- Taurus(April 20 - May 20): Reliable, practical, and sensuous people
- Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Communicative, versatile, and unpredictable people
- Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Emotional, sensitive, and nurturing people.
- Leo (July 23 - August 22): Confident, passionate, and generous people.
- Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Analytical, practical, and precise people.
- Libra (September 23 - October 22): Diplomatic, social, and balance-seeking people.
- Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Intense, profound, and transformative people.
- Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Adventurous, optimistic, and freedom-loving people
- Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Disciplined, responsible, and ambitious people.
- Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Humanitarian, independent, and unconventional people.
- Pisces(February 19 - March 20): Compassionate, imaginative, and sensitive people.
With my closed and deep study of human,I believe in zodiac signs.90percent of people and students I meet with on daily basis they have one or two of the zodiac signs manifested in their individual life.I and some people in my village of Ichogolugwu Agatu strongly believe the accuracy of astrology and zodiac signs But I know our opponents and others are skeptical and view it as mere entertainment.
Those who disbelief Astrology and zodiac signs hold their argument that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that the positions of celestial bodies can influence human affairs, and many experts consider astrology to be a form of unprovable science.
All I know and believe, astrology and zodiac signs are still useful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. Because the characteristics and traits associated with each astrology and zodiac sign, people can gain knowledge and deep insight and understanding into their strengths and weaknesses, and attain or get a greater understanding of themselves and others.
According to miracle Eric Thomson A great philosopher,There are
few examples of how zodiac signs can influence our personalities and behaviors:
- "A Leo might be naturally drawn to leadership roles and have a strong desire to be in the spotlight'.I believe this fact because of the people I have mingle with them while in the village.This quality is found in them.He Added that Virgo might be highly analytical and critical, with a strong attention to detail and a desire to improve processes and systems.
As I draw conclusion here,I want to strike a balance by saying that,
While the scientific community may not support the idea of astrology and zodiac signs, they are still useful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. So, do you believe in astrology and zodiac signs? Whether or not you believe in their influence, they are still fun and interesting way to learn more about yourself and others.
As for me and my household we believe in astrology and zodiac signs.
Thank you for reading through.
ALL PICTURES ARE MINE.
