2. Astrology is a divination that consists of
interpreting the influence of stars and
planets on earthly affairs and human
destinies.
WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
3. In ancient times it was inseparable from astronomy. It
originated in Mesopotamia (c. 3rd millennium BC) and
spread to India, but it developed its Western form in
Greek civilization during the Hellenistic period. Astrology
entered Islamic culture as part of the Greek tradition and
was returned to European culture through Arabic learning
during the Middle Ages.
HISTORY
4. According to the Greek tradition, the heavens are divided
according to the 12 constellations of the zodiac, and the
bright stars that rise at intervals cast a spiritual influence
over human affairs. Astrology was also important in
ancient China, and in imperial times it became standard
practice to have a horoscope cast for each newborn child
and at all decisive junctures of life.
5. Though the Copernican system shattered the geocentric
worldview that astrology requires, interest in astrology
has continued into modern times and astrological signs
are still widely believed to influence personality.
