I Introduction: Astrology
What’s your astrological sign. Everyone knows what his or
her sign is. Even if you’re not a believer that the position
of the planets at the exact time of your birth is an
indicator of your personality and can determine events that
happen to your throughout your lifetime, you’ve certainly
met someone who does believe. At the very least, it’s
harmless club conversation, a way to get to know someone.
But is there something to it. Are horoscopes just hocus
pocus. Or do they truly predict the course of events in your
life.
Astrology is one of the earliest sciences known to human
history. There are astrological records that originated in
Babylon in 1645 BCE. Other cultures, such as Egyptian and
Greek developed timekeeping and calendar methodologies. From
the time man began to observe and track the world around
him, he’s also contemplated his own relationship to the
earth, stars, planets and elements around him. Astrology may
have one way that earliest civilizations helped define their
place in the cosmos. They perceived it as being greater than
themselves; not something to be conquered, but to be
understood.

While in modern times astrology is seen as new age and not
as credible as sciences like astrophysics or chemistry, at
one time it was as credible a science as any other.
Astronomers like Galileo and Copernicus were also practicing
astrologers. With the evolution of more quantitative
sciences, astrology’s influence and position began to
diminish. It enjoyed a resurgence in the 1930’s with the
birth of England’s Princess Margaret. The London
Sunday-Express ran her astrological profile, and that event
was the origin of the modern daily horoscope in the
newspapers.
Everyone who’s read a really good astrological profile of
himself has to admit there are some uncanny coincidences.
Can we really pretend we’re so knowledgeable of the universe
that we can reject the discipline of astrology. Maybe
Shakespeare had something there when he wrote in Hamlet,
*There are more things on heaven and earth Horatio than are
dreamt of in your philosophy.*
We hope you enjoy

we wish you the best!
