Astrology is a study that deals with the workings of how cosmic and celestial influences have on human lives. Our personalities, relationships, and fortunes are affected by what stars we were given birth under. In astrology, the zodiac is a band of twelve constellations along which the sun, moon, and planets move. The most common thing that you probably hear about daily is horoscopes. A horoscope is essentially a prediction chart describing the twelve zodiac signs as they move through the stars. Below, I have created a chart that lists out the twelve zodiac signs with birth dates.



I'm not going to dissect the inner workings of astrology any further, but if you want to get more information on the technicalities, All Around the Zodiac: Exploring Astrology's Twelve Signs is a good book to read and a great place to start acquiring more depth.

The focus is on having fun and that means enjoying astrology. The highly devoted will take it a step further and study it (e.g. The Complete Book of Astrology) or practice it (e.g. How to Become a Top Astrologer in 7 Days), but for the majority of us, astrology is entertainment. In any given newspaper or pop culture magazine, you are sure to find the daily, monthly, or yearly horoscope listing. It is popular, the 'it' thing, much like social networking these days.
Enjoying astrology can improve your finesse in the art of conversation ice breaking. I would highly recommend that an astrology book be a permanent part of anyone's coffee table collection. Why? A few people can get together and flip open an astrology zodiac book and talk for hours on end about the peculiar behavior of each sign in relations to experience.
Ever wanted to de-construct yourself for fun? Astrology can be used as a magnifying glass on your glories and faults. When you look at the list of traits for your particular zodiac sign, you tend to find out interesting tidbits on how you behave and how your personality matches up with the stars. People take it as a 'matter of fact' thing;

Sue: Why did Bob refuse to come out and join us today?
Sally: Oh, you know him. He's stubborn like a ox.
Sue: Must be a Taurus thing...
Sally: Most likely, because I still can't figure it out.

Although most of the time people would be generalizing in those circumstances, but that is exactly the fun of enjoying astrology! Being able to praise or bash personality traits just based solely on their zodiac sign. In the case of Darkside Zodiac, this book will spread out all your faults like butter on Teflon, creating a few laughs or long winded discussions.
People have also used astrology as a tool. It is a great way to pick out 'promising' dates to maybe take a vacation, get married, or even start a business venture. One can never have too much good luck when it comes to those kinds of things.

It is true; some people just click better with each other. There is much to be said about compatibility and one big part of astrology is the calculated chemistry between the different zodiac signs. Many will use a compatibility chart as a guide to see if a future prospect will prove enticing. It is beneficial because obtaining someone's sign might give you more of an insight of how that person behaves. No one said that it will be spot on; it could be nothing farther than the truth, but at least it allows you to take the time to analyze, and be more attentive to the other person.



Great compatibility might even get you in between the sheets. Besides finding out about personalities, another part of enjoying astrology lies in sexual chemistry. The interest, approach, and routine each zodiac sign uses to seduce each other can help create a deeper understanding and emotional connection for both parties. Books like Astrology's Secret to Hot Romance and Sextrology explains the sexual personalities of each sign's like and dislikes, fantasies and turn-offs.

The most important thing about enjoying astrology is to have fun with it. Always take the information light-heartedly and you are sure to have a grand time. What have you got to lose? If you didn't learn a thing or two, chances are you read something quite interesting and perhaps even humorous.
