Astrology Day – March 20, 2025

Astrology Day takes place on any day from March 19 to March 22. It mostly falls on March 20 and 21 and takes place on March 20. The specific day is dependent on the day that the Northward equinox occurs. The holiday is observed by astrologers and people that are enthusiastic about astrology. Astrology is a pseudoscience that purports to be able to deduce information about terrestrial events concerning human affairs by observing the relative positions and movement of celestial objects. Astrologers regard the holiday as the start of the astrological year. It is the first full day of the astrological sign of Aries, signaling the start of the tropical zodiac.

History of Astrology Day

In its broadest sense, astrology is the search for meaning in the sky. Markings on bones and cave walls suggest that lunar cycles were being documented as early as 25,000 years ago, indicating that humans made conscious attempts to measure, record, and forecast seasonal changes by reference to astronomical cycles. Astrology became more popular in the 20th century because of the release of the newspaper horoscope which was a common mass media product.

The first World Astrology Day was observed in 1993 by the members of the Association for Astrological Networking (AFAN). Astrology was used to predict the changes in season, it was also used to monitor the celestial bodies, Sun, Moon, stars, and other planets. Traditional studies made use of this astrology learning and it was commonly accepted by cultural and political cycles. There is a belief that astrology started as soon as man started attempting to record, measure, and predict seasonal changes.

Astrologers are known to read horoscopes and even though it has no scientific backing, a lot of people believe in them. Over 70 million Americans go to astrologers to read their horoscopes and predict their futures. Different people are going to astrologers to help them interpret the stars for advice. Understanding the locations of the stars is the foundation of astrology, which appears to be a scientific enough subject in itself.
