Though predominantly a Catholic country, the Philippines is open to other forms of beliefs and practices. Some of these are embedded in the Filipino psyche, which sometimes create a new outlook on living our everyday life. Astrology is one of them.
One needs to have an open mind when it comes to these different ways of interpreting events and various phenomenon experienced first-hand by individuals. I, for example, read and dabble on Horoscopes, listen to Feng Sui experts, acknowledge the Reason of Science, attended Christian gatherings, and most recently, went to a book launch of one of the prominent Filipino astrologers in the country, Resti Santiago.

Santiago is also celebrating his 20th year as a professional astrologer. But what is astrology? According to Wikepedia, “Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial objects as a means for divining information about human affairs and terrestrial events.”
Furthermore, followers of astrology dates back to Medieval times, wherein series of events are believed to be the manifestation of celestial cycles. Fast-forward to this day, the practice of astrology is most popularly based on Contemporary Western Astrology, which is often associated with systems of “horoscopes that purport to explain aspects of a person's personality and predict significant events in their lives based on the positions of celestial objects." Many professional astrologers rely on such systems.

To make it easier for the followers of astrology, Santiago has created a calendar based on his years of deep study of the planets, and its celestial interpretations. Santiago, who is known for his daily astrological readings, which appeared in newspapers such as the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Times, and the popular magazine Woman Today, his influence on his readers, who belong to different social classes are loyally following his readings up to this day.
