What Does the History of Astrology Say about You?

The history of astrology dates back many years and was actually used in ancient science. It is older than both psychology and astronomy.  Astrology has been studied throughout the entire world for thousands of years. The basis for the study includes the interactions amongst the stars as they coincide with the planets based on complex calculated cycles.  

Astrological records have been dated back to 1645 B.C. in Babylon, with the earliest horoscopes dating back to 410 B.C. in several different locations throughout the world including Egypt, which was one of the first sophisticated developments of timekeeping and calendars known to mankind. Other areas of the world where horoscope was commonly used were Rome and Greece where powerful men and women used the information to go about their day to day activities.  

As the world became better educated and more people became literate, more and more astrological almanacs were being printed and used by the public to help predict certain aspects of their life. Notable historians throughout our history have used astrology as a scientific aspect of their life including Galileo and Copernicus who both practiced astrology and believed in it as a science. Over time it began to lose its luster as many of the predictions about certain aspects of their time period failed to happen as they predicted.
