An astrological sign plays more importance in your life than you might think. You will also notice that more and more people have begun to realize this. The time, date and place of your birth are what determine your astrological sign in Indian astrology, while the day and month you were born determine your sign in Western astrology. Chinese astrology considers the year of birth.

Vedic or Indian astrology can be quite precise. Your astrology sign and chart can shed light on your past life and who you were and the impact that it is having on your present life. Your astrology sign can also give you a fairly accurate summation of the events that will occur in your present life. Some astrologers will be able to advice you on counter measures for things like major illnesses etc.
