A History of Western Astrology

Astrology dates back to roughly 2000 BCE in ancient Babylon. They started developing a complicated system of celestial omens there. The gods' aspirations were expressed through the placements of the planets and stars, according to the priests. They'd keep track of the sky's motions and the earthly activities that followed, compiling a record of good and bad omens. A full moon with a cloudy sky, for example, would be recorded as a positive omen if it was followed by a big triumph over an opponent the next day. This system extended throughout the ancient world throughout time.
With good cause, the Egyptians were obsessed with astronomy. The Sun and Sirius were utilised to forecast what will happen next.dates back to roughly 2000 BCE in ancient Babylon.
