Astrology has its roots in ancient civilizations, with the earliest recorded evidence appearing in Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE. In this era, people relied on observations of celestial objects and their movements to make predictions about earthly events. The belief in the influence of celestial bodies on human affairs laid the foundation for the development of astrology.
The Babylonians played a significant role in advancing astrology and formalizing its practices. They established a system where astrologers interpreted the positions and movements of the planets, sun, and moon to make predictions about events such as natural disasters, political changes, and personal fortunes. Their celestial observations and astrological calculations were recorded on clay tablets known as 'Astrological Diaries' and 'Enuma Anu Enlil,' providing valuable insights into the ancient astrological practices.
During the Hellenistic period, astrology gained popularity in Greece, blending the Babylonian and Egyptian astrological traditions. Greek philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, had an ambivalent stance towards astrology, yet it thrived and became an integral part of Greek society. The prominent astrologer Claudius Ptolemy's work 'Tetrabiblos,' written in the 2nd century CE, provided a comprehensive framework for astrology and greatly influenced its future development.
Astrology ventured into new territories through the translation efforts of Arab scholars. In the 8th century CE, Persian and Arab astrologers translated Greek and Babylonian astrological texts, thus preserving and expanding the knowledge. Arab scholars played a crucial role in transmitting astrological knowledge to Europe during the Middle Ages, where it would later flourish.
Astrology flourished during the Middle Ages, particularly in Islamic and Christian societies. Astrologers were revered as intellectuals and advisers to kings and nobles. The Arab translations, along with the incorporation of Arabic and Persian astrological techniques, contributed to the development of medieval astrology. Astrological texts, such as Almanacs and horoscopes, gained popularity and circulated widely, shaping the lives and beliefs of people across Europe.
In the 17th century, the Age of Enlightenment and the rise of scientific inquiry challenged the validity of astrology. Intellectuals like Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton criticized astrology, considering it a pseudoscience without empirical evidence. Despite the criticism, astrology persisted among individuals seeking personal guidance. Astrologers adapted by creating psychological interpretations to support their practice.
In the 20th century, astrology experienced a revival and gained popular interest. New astrological schools emerged, including psychological astrology and sun sign astrology, which introduced simplified horoscopes based on the twelve zodiac signs. Astrology became more accessible through newspapers, magazines, and later, websites, allowing people to explore their astrological profiles and predictions easily.
