Western Astrology, just like Chinese Astrology, is an ancient art that uses the time of a persons birth (year, month, day, time) to determine the person's personality traits, lifestyle, health, careers, and compatibility with others. This form of astronomy was inspired by Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos which dates back to the 2nd century AD. Western Astrology's main focus is the alignment of the planets and stars. The names originally stem from Latin however over time, they have been shortened.
