Thanks to your birth date, astrologists can give you some incredible insight into the experiences your life will offer you. Horoscopes are a part of astrology and are widely appreciated, so much so that they are often featured in newspapers as well.

Even though astrology might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it sure is a fascinating topic to learn. So, why don’t we look at some interesting facts about astrology today?

1. Hitler’s Future Was Predicted By His Birth Chart

When making a prediction, especially with regards to astrology, astrologers have to take into account various details about the person’s birth such as their date, year, and time of birth. With this information, they create a birth chart which is then used to predict the future. In 1889, an astrologer predicted that Hitler would become powerful while another actually predicted an assassination attempt made against the German Leader.
