Branches of Astrology
Astrology IS made up of 3 limbs. They urei-c-
(I ) Predictive Astrology
(2) Mundane Astrology
(3) Electional Astrology.
Pred ictive Astrology is concerned with making
forecasts or delineating future trends and possibi-
lilies. T his branch can be further subdivided into
natal horoscopy a'ld horary astrology . 10 the
former, results are assessed on the basis of the
chart erect ed for the time of birth. In horary
astrology, the chart 1> erect ed for the time of
question . Bo th give equally good results provided
a careful balancing is made of all the factor, in
the chart. O ur interest is horary astrology.
Mundan e astro logy is related to Judging
horoscopes of nations ;'Old of the collective desti-
uies of peoples.
Electional astrology is predictive astrology
