Astrology (from Greek: (astér, astrós), "star", and (lógos, lógou), "word" or "speech"(lit. to talk about the stars) is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs in which knowledge of the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details is held to be useful in understanding, interpreting, and organizing information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters. A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer, or, less often, an astrologist. Numerous traditions and applications employing astrological concepts have arisen since its earliest recorded beginnings in the 2nd millennium BCE. It has played a role in the shaping of culture, early astronomy, and other disciplines throughout history.
Historically, astrology and astronomy were often indistinguishable, with the desire for predictive and divinatory knowledge one of the primary motivating factors for astronomical observation. Astronomy began to diverge from astrology after a long period of gradual separation in the 18th century, and has since distinguished itself as the scientific study of astronomical objects and phenomena, placing no significance on these phenomena's supposed astrological correlation.

The fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are linked with the karma of personality development. This shows that these beings did not sufficiently develop their personality in past lives and this is their present challenge. Clearly asserting oneself is a necessary stage both for truly knowing our desires and aspirations as well as manifesting our potential. The way in which the fire signs interact and establish contact will help them to increase self-confidence and develop personality. They are bold explorers but have to learn the meaning of respect for others and the virtues of dialogue.

Esoteric tradition says that, in order to manifest, any thing must have a color and a form.
Each one of us has a favorite color and probably each one of us notices that by wearing clothes in a certain color or by simply admiring a specific color, our psychic state can change.
Cromotherapy, as we can understand from the name itself, is a science based on the study of colors and its aim is to value the therapeutic virtues of some of these colors.

The Earth signs of the zodiac (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are fully enrolled in the earthly (material) drama. These natives totally involve themselves in this experience and act with all the strength with which they are endowed. They have been born in an earth sign because they have neglected the spiritual aspects of their evolution or because they have acted in a superficial way in previous lives.

Ancient astrologers have assigned the four elements of earth, water, fire, and air to better characterise the signs of the zodiac. This is not by chance, as it was typical of their vision of the cosmic world. Each group of three signs reveal a basic feature in human individuality. These zodiac groupings are:
- Earth signs: TAURUS (the Bull), VIRGO (the Virgin), CAPRICORN (the Sea Goat)
- Water signs: CANCER (the Crab), SCORPIO (the Scorpion), PISCES (the Fishes)
- Fire signs: ARIES (the Ram), LEO (the Lion), SAGITTARIUS (the Archer)
- Air signs: GEMINI (the Twins), LIBRA (the Scales), AQUARIUS (the Water Bearer)
