Astrology is the study of the planets and stars and conducting symbolic meaning from their associated meanings and placement in the sky. One thing astrology is not is astronomy.
Astrology can be traced back to the 3rd millennium BC. Its practices show up all around the world, so it’s not just the Greek or Romans who revered this mystical form of art. Some believe the oldest form of astrological texts actually date back to Mesopotamia around 1800 BC. From there, we see the study branch out around the world—Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, Europe, China, and eventually West.
