Astronomy and astrology are intertwined; call them the twin sisters acknowledged by our ancient ancestors. Astronomy provides the foundation and structure from which astrology springs. There is a hung jury when we try to define astrology. Many say it is an art of divination. Others insist that it is only pure science.

The scientific portion of astrology comes into play as we work with the astronomical, mathematical, and geometrical methods. Astrology is based on observation and correlation both in a scientific and divinatory manner. The ancients watched the sky, observing the movements of planets and other heavenly objects, recorde...

What are Literary Texts?

Literary texts are those that are part of one of the genres of literature and artistic writing, in which the form given to the message is of vital importance, as well as its content. They are distinguished from other types of texts in this respect by their strictly aesthetic intentions. The creation of literary texts has accompanied man since ancient times, whether as ritual chants, lyrical odes, epic or dramatic narratives and many other forms that, over time, crystallized into a series of genres, called “literary genres”. Just like other forms of art, the great literary texts constitute part of the artistic and historical heritage of the different civilizations, since they are printed not only as a specific reference point (an era, social and political conditions, specific) but also as a particular and individual feeling of the artist, whose subjectivity and sensitivity produce the work of art.

We often use the words author and writer interchangeably. But indeed both these words are quite different. A writer is a person who writes a book, article, or any literary piece, while an author is essentially the person who originates the idea, plot, or content of the work being written. At times, the author and writer can be the same person. In case of an autobiography, a person writes about the own life. So the author is ex pressing his own thoughts and ideas. But in cases like biographies, the writer is not the author. The ideas of thoughts of another are being written. Though the difference may not seem to be much, depending on the situation, the difference can be more. If you are writing a novel or short story based on a plot developed by self, you get to be known as the author of the novel. And if you are penning down someone else’s ideas or stories, you will be known as the writer of the work. Being a writer is at times easier than being an author. The reason being that an...
