Astrology is the study of the influences, positions, and aspects of the stars and planets and is used to chart the past, present, and future of human and earthly events.

HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY:
¥ The bond between man and the heavens throughout history and the world has provided the inspiration in the creation of rich and lasting mythologies.

¥ A tendency to fatalism was characteristic of early astrology. The skies belonged to the gods, the Earth to man. The stars and planets made it possible to foretell and interpret the divine will.

¥ The Chaldeans of Babylonia were the founders of astral divination. From this region also came the Zodiac. It is said they were the first to understand the lunar influences on the tides and observe the passage of Halley's comet. They also recognized the sun as the center of the universe.

¥ The ruins of ancient civilizations are evidence that ancient cultures had a depth of understanding of the course and cycles of the planets. Astrology was synonymous with astronomy. Even today, astronomy, an objective science, has been closely linked to astrology, which seeks the transcendental meaning of existence.

¥ Astrology was very popular during the Middle Ages, and from it came modern astronomy. It was divided into two types:judicial astrology, used to foretell the fate and acts of nations and individuals, and natural astrology, employed to predict events of inanimate nature, such as weather changes.
