☆ Astrology ☆

Most astrological terms derive from Roman and Greek mythology, but these archetypes can be found in mythgologies around the world, and each version of these archetypal characters can add a facet to your understanding.

Roots of astrology go back thousands of years. Archaeologists have found evidence that humans may have tracked lunar cycles from the earliest times, such as, cave paintings marked with lunar cycles. Some evidence dates back to 30,000 BC.

Historians note that the cradle of astrology was in Mesopotamia, started in Babylonia by the Chaldeans, 2,500 years ago. In those days the ancients knew the Moon, the Sun, and only five planets, Mercury through Saturn.

Astrology is based on the premise of celestial movement in the history of time.

Caldendrical systems based on movement of cosmic bodies. Earliest calendars were based on the movement of the sun, the star sirius (Egyptian), or the moon (Greek).
