I absolutely do not believe in Astrology and do not that it in any way can play a role in human destiny.
Here is some information on astrology for you to read.
The actual practice of astrology is also generally made to appear very scientific. When creating someone's chart, an astrologer first has to fix the exact time of the person's birth, then translate that time into Greenwich Mean Time, then translate that into sidereal time, then translate that back into local sidereal time. After all of this is finished, the astrologer needs to perform elaborate calculations to determine zodical and planetary positions for this exact time.
The problem is, however, that astrology is not supported by sound and verified scientific research, like statistical studies. Astrology is not based upon collected data and carefully controlled, objective observations. Astrology is not based up falsifiable predictions which are tested and re-tested by independent observers and researchers.
Astrologers will respond to this by arguing that such research is expensive and time-consuming, and they do not have access to either the time or money necessary. They might even argue that they are deliberately excluded from those resources by a disbelieving, not to mention hostile, academic and scientific establishment.
This, however, ignores that fact that quite a few scientific studies have been done on astrology, and in each case the claims and premises of the astrologers have failed. Furthermore, it also ignores the fact that most astrologers simply don't know anything about conducting or evaluating such research - something which underscores the lack of scientific training and knowledge which is characteristic of astrology.
Astrologers may further argue that astrology is too complex for standard scientific protocols to handle. For example, the astrological chart is supposed to have more information than scientists can factor for - a typical chart can include 30 to 40 major factors and another 60 to 70 minor factors, resulting in a bewildering array of permutations, combinations and possible interpretations. This does not, however, explain why astrologers are unable to match charts with people at a rate better than chance. After all, can it be argued that these charts are too complex for astrologers to handle?
It is at this point that astrologers will often start to argue that astrology is not so much a science (like physics) but more of an art, philosophy, or at best a social science.
The identification of astrology as an art is only to be expected, because once the math has been completed and all the charts are drawn up, there is nothing very obvious or necessary about any particular conclusions which an astrologer might infer. There are many possible interpretations which an "expert" might provide to a client and it is here that the "art" of astrology comes out.
Sometimes, the promotion of astrology as an art has to be done in conjunction with the denigration of science as a principle. The argument seems to be that scientists, being too logical, are unable to see astrology for what it really is. For example, J. West and J. Toonder have written in their book "The Case for Astrology":
...an astronomer knows no more about astrology than a radio mechanic knows about music. To ask an astronomer for his "expert" opinion on the subject is useless.
There are no hard and fast rules for interpretation, which means that there is no interpretation which is really "better" or more "objective" than any other. The astrologer improvises and plays things by ear. This is why astrological predictions are generally "better" when they are done with the client right there rather than "blind." This, of course, sounds an awful lot like the methods used for cold readings.
If the astrologer can speak to the client, it is possible to ask probing questions and see immediately any reactions to the developing interpretation. In this fashion, an individual predication can be tailored to the person at hand, taking into account their very real fears, hopes and history. When performing "blind," however, the astrologer has nothing to work on but the data itself and this never seems to provide quite enough for a really accurate or informative series of conclusions.

Astrology is a pseudo science and Horoscope is it's offspring. It is never proved scientifically that position of planets can play a role in human destiny. Yes, the position of planets at the time of birth is used to prepare the horoscope of the person. You must study the Astrology to read a horoscope.

The "ancients" past and present (there are some still existing as seen from your question), no offence meant, believed that the position of stars and planets at the time of an individual's birth affected his destiny shaping the future course of events.
Considering the more rational, scientific and obvious (than mythical) point of view, this idea is purely superstitious.
For heaven's sake, the gravitational force of attraction between a baby who is born and the attending nurse is much more than that between the baby and other astronomical bodies , most of which are parsecs away

Whether to believe or not believe is left to ones own choice, or the 'FAITH' or 'BELIEF'. It is not necessary that every body believes in astrology, it is a science of planetary movement that the astrologer makes or writes the 'table like thing called 'HOROSCOPE", it is prominent specially in India , and the NRIs living overseas. Who knows the truth?
If good happens you believe if not you blame the astrologer.
There is always a never ending, clash or controversy on this issue. For a few the horoscope may favour or not...
ULTIMATELY WHAT COUNTS IS YOU FULL FAITH IN IT.
Coming to the working of it.
ONly the trained, studied scholars(panditis, age-old, professional priests), can do this. it is also a course is there.....It is very difficult for lerning, right from basics....not easy...!!!!
But Now because of computer it is 'MADE VERY EASY',
If you want just fill the form on astrological website, you will get a detailed horoscope of yours, if you know your,
Name, Date if birth, Time of birth(very important for correct )
Place of birth( very important for correct horoscope),
Still another option, 'Asian Sky shop', etc....at a price... will provide you everything .

Well if u belive that ... then just tell me
When Elder Ambani Was born .... or even when the Tom and Jerry Amabanis were born ... at the same time as per the growth rate of India's populations , even in the same locality and if u do some research around the same coodinates ... with same planetary positons there wolud have been at least 10,000 people born in the same time period having almost similar grah dashas ......... so out of that even if 10 % would be as close to Ambani;s Grah dashas ... how many Relaince size companies we have ?????? one !!!!! or others are not listed yet eh ...?????? So my frend hope u get the point ... its only the smart *** who wins the race ...... not the Planets ... they are Trillions of mile away to effect your dumbness and smartnes or quick witted ness in anyway !!!! Get that now get back to work ........................

Astrology is one of the oldest surviving fallacies. The planets and stars (other than the Sun) have no effect whatsoever on human life and fate, it is a load of rubbish and should be consigned to the waste bin without further delay.
