Astrology

The history of the origin of astrology dates back to the distant past and is associated with the development of the first civilizations in Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, and Ancient Greece.

The birth of astrology is traditionally associated with the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians (4th-3rd millennia BC), who closely observed the night sky and the movement of planets. They noticed certain cycles and coincidences between the positions of celestial bodies and events on Earth, such as river floods, seasons, and important dates. This led to the formation of the first astrological beliefs.

In Ancient Egypt (28th-25th centuries BC), astrology was used by priests to predict the Nile floods, which was vital for agriculture. The Egyptians associated the zodiac constellations with various deities and gave them symbolic meaning.

In Ancient Greece (5th century BC), astrology underwent further development. Prominent philosophers and scholars of the time, such as Pythagoras, Hipparchus, and Ptolemy, created treatises on astrology, introduced the concept of the zodiac, and divided it into signs. The Greeks developed theories about the influence of planets and constellations on human character and destiny.

In ancient Rome, astrology was also widely practiced, especially during the reign of Emperor Tiberius, who was a firm believer in it.

In the Middle Ages, the center of astrology shifted to the Arab Caliphate. Arab scholars translated many ancient Greek astrological treatises into their language and made their own contributions to its development.

Over time, astrology spread throughout the world, acquiring national features and traditions in India, China, and Central America.

Today, astrology is a powerful tool for a comprehensive description of a person, forecasting, and determining karmic tasks.
