Natal astrology
Using the birth chart that requires the location, date, and time of birth, you can find all the answers to one’s ambitions and direction in life. However, this is not it. Natal astrology also provides a more profound explanation of your anxieties and hopes.  

Vedic Astrology
Also known as Hindu astrology, Vedic astrology is a vital aspect of Hindu rituals. From naming the newborn baby to finding an auspicious time to buy a vehicle or marriage, Hindus employ this astrology in their everyday lives. It is also a widely taught discipline. 

Love astrology
Several kinds of charts are employed in relationship astrology. There are composite and synastry charts used for various purposes. Of course, the chart you use will make a difference as these charts are the two methods for providing relationship readings.

Medical astrology
It is the most complex astrology. Anytime someone falls sick, you can still note the date and time for the astrologer to create a chart, determine the prognosis, and specify when and how the patient will get better.  

Horary astrology
Horary refers to “of the hour.” This astrological branch has been around since the 8th century and is called the astrological oracle. It utilizes a Horary chart, prepared for the precise moment when a person asks questions. Herein, the query’s time and location play an important role.

Electional astrology
If you hope to do something exciting with your life (a new job, relationship, or moving to a new house), you should refer to electional astrology. 

Uranian astrology
It employs the midpoints to discover the planetary triggers vital for a person to take action in every aspect of their life.  

Western astrology
Western astrology, also known as sun sign astrology, originates from the book “Tetrabiblos.” It comes from the horoscope chart formed with your birth date.

Tools of Divination
The practice of employing supernatural means to seek future knowledge is known as divination. Different divination tools shed light on the soul intentions, pre-birth plans, and the current energy. Below are some popular divination tools.

Tarot cards

Oracle cards
Similar to the tarot cards, the oracle cards are relatively more flexible, and are one of the newer divination tools. 

Automatic writing

It is one of the oldest forms of divination, wherein the bird’s behavior is interpreted to make predictions. Ornithomancy saw massive popularity in Greek religious life.

Pyro-osteomancy
