Is There More To Zodiac Signs?

Call them a window to the future or a way to know more about a person, zodiac signs can be used to know a lot more about us than they are thought to possess. While you may not know it, zodiac signs were initially used by merchants and seafarers to navigate through the seas. While astrology was used for more than future telling, today its use seems more or less concentrated to the field of future telling only. Using zodiac signs is very easy; almost anyone who knows how to read can easily have a peek at his future by going through the days’ horoscope in a newspaper.

People can easily find their zodiac by matching their date of birth with that of a zodiac, if they fall in the month range of a zodiac; they are ruled by that zodiac and its characteristics. People use zodiacs for various purposes; while some may use it to know more about their future, others use it to find out about the personality of another person. A common use for zodiac signs is to test the compatibility in relationship between two people. Even though you may feel that it is a bit too farfetched, millions of people around the world seem to base their relationships on the basis of zodiac compatibility. Think deep and you will surly remember a person that you know is bitten by the astrology bug.

Sun sign or zodiac compatibility is one of the most popular uses of zodiac and this fact is clearly evident by the fact that a simple search on an internet search engine will return thousands of results, each claiming to be a better relationship compatibility chart than the other. Mostly used to find love compatibility with a partner, zodiac compatibility charts are created by matching the qualities between two zodiac signs.

You may be a believer in zodiac signs or not, you must be interested in finding out whether zodiac is really an effective medium to know your compatibility in a relationship or not. People often ask questions like, how can my date of birth decide who will I live happily ever after with? Isn’t it more appropriate to study the upbringing and the personality of an individual to measure compatibility in a relationship rather than the day he/she was born on? There are many such questions that raise doubts about the effectiveness of zodiac signs to measure compatibility in a relationship.

While astrologists claim the effectiveness of astrology by stating the point that it uses various scientifically proven points, critics believe that astrology is nothing but a series of carefully thought rules that seem to be right for any individual. People are often allured by astrology of other cultures and the huge popularity of Chinese as well as Vedic astrology is a proof of this fact. Even though many cultures have their own astrological beliefs, almost every such system depends on the study of celestial objects for telling future.
