Western astrology
Twelve constellation personalities
Western astrology is the system of astrology developed in the Mediterranean world and dominant in Europe and the Americas.
It divides the sky into twelve zodiac signs based on constellations, interprets planetary positions at the time of birth, and produces horoscopes claiming to reveal personality traits and predict events.
Western astrology differs from other traditions like Vedic (Indian) or Chinese astrology in its methods and symbolism: Her Western astrology chart said she was a Scorpio, but in Vedic astrology she's a Libra.
