Astrology is a form of divination that interprets the meanings of the movements of the palnets, the Moon, the Sun, and the Stars. Because these follow fairly straightforward ballistic trajectories, Astrology is not a form of sortilege, and its chief interest lies in the fact that die to the various wobbles built into the planetary bodies, which give rise to a 26,000 year pattern known as the Precession of the Equinoxes, the system is too large for most humans to conceive in its entirety, and it will not repeat during any person's lifetime. This means that as far as individual clients are concerned, each person's birth chart -- a map of the heavens at their time of birth -- is unique. To astrologers, however, the entire panoply of symbol-laden astronomical bodies is more or less analogous a simpler form of divination, namely, Wheels and Spinners.
