Origins of Astrology

Ancient Civilizations and Astrology

From the origins of astrology in many aspects, astronomy was considered to be of the same concentration. Widely attributed to the Ancient Babylonian astrologers and astronomers, beginning from the earliest evidence of their system and its ascension, astrology is accredited. The Babylonians applied astral divination toward further insight concerning terrestrial affairs.

Thereafter, the practice of the Babylonians was embraced and refined by the Egyptians. Mesopotamia, also accretive of astrology, is considered to have originated Western astrology, in which the following, was concerted and strengthened with the classical or traditional astrological doctrine of practitioners from the Mediterranean Basin.

Eventually, astrology was dispersed throughout Rome. The Greeks contributed to the term zodiac among numerous establishments that are implemented by practitioners of astrology today. Natal (Genethliacal) astrology, which is profoundly relative in this age, identifies its earliest origins during the closing of the fifth century BCE constructed in Babylonian text through symbolic-syllabic mode.
