What is Astrology and How it Relates to the Wicca Religion

Astrology is very detailed and complex but has been studies for a very long time. The most common users of astrology were the Indians. They used to search the stars and the skies for warnings of weather and events to come. Now it is used for horoscopes, looking for answers about the weather, unseen events coming, and used in the Wiccan beliefs.

Like the big dipper we all have heard of it. What is the big dipper is a more common question. The big dipper is a group of seven stars in the constellation Ursa Major. It contains the pointers that indicate the direction to Polaris. It also contains the great bear of the sky that watches over and protects us when we ask for his protection.

What does the big dipper have to do with astrology? Everything and then at the same time nothing if you don't believe that it is a symbolism of protection. By that I mean any clues that we look up to the sky and see has to deal with astrology in one way or another.

If you know where your planets are located you can then see all of the zodiac signs lined up in collaboration with the planetary symbol it is under at that phase in the year.

Why is this important to know?

You need to know this to know what is happening in this year and what events may come like if you look up to the sky and notice that winter is on its way and you foresee snow you wouldn't want to leave your house plants outside to get sun light. Some of your Wiccan spells may work better in winter or under different moon phases. If you have to look up at the sky to see what is going on then it relates to astrology in simplest terms.

The zodiac and astrology how does that work?

The wheel of animals: is like a belt in space it is approximately 16 degrees maybe 15 degrees wide. The solar planets then move in space and form geometrical partnerships as I call it. The Zodiac forms a path for the new sun after the winter solstice.
Now you know the Scientifics of what looking up your means and how your horoscope was determined. Just like the old saying your fate was determined by the stars. Although not everyone has to believe this or not everyone does believe in this.
