Abstract Astrology has analysed human characters based on someone’s birth time specification and planetary positions in the zodiac belt (horoscope).  The scientific basis of this depiction is reanalysed in this paper from ethno-biological point of view. The paper also presents a ready reckoner for human characters based on astrological parameters and can be used as tool for self analysis and comprehends the surrounding human personalities, a practical implementation to study human ecology from socio-biological point of view.
