Astrology is a science of observation and symbolism. This site has been intuitively designed for easy navigation and to help you understand the logic behind astrology. The meaning behind the symbols and planets can be increasingly profound on ones life. The planets are named after gods and goddesses of ancient Roman and Greek mythologies. These astrological factors are meant to be archetypes of our subconscious and their influence upon us is based on symbolic reality as well as astrophysical force.

 To better comprehend our lives we must first understand who we are at our core. We begin this journey on the day of our birth, which marks a significant event in time.

History of Astrology

Most historians and astrologers agree that the beginnings of astrology can be traced back to Babylonia (present-day Iraq) about 3500 years ago, in the first half of the Hammurabi Dynasty. The Babylonians, noted for their advanced culture, had a well-developed science of observational astronomy. This provided them with a calendar for when to plant, harvest, hold religious festivals and so on through the year.

By about 1000 BC, the Babylonians had developed a sense of planetary omens and put their minds to setting their knowledge down in literature. Each planet was given importance and named in honour of their many gods and goddesses, such as Ishtar, now known as Venus, and Nergal, now known as Mars. Since Nergal was the god of war, when this planet shone brightly the Babylonians took it as a sign that it was a good time to wage war. As Ishtar was the goddess of love, a spring night in which that planet shone high in the west after sunset was considered a good time for romance.

By 600 BC the Babylonians had devised the twelve-sign zodiac. They developed markers in the sky which roughly corresponded to the months of the year. The concept of making predictions based on the signs began to develop. Eventually this process became so complex that the Babylonians were able to make a map of the heavens to use in Divination. The oldest known horoscope dates to 29 April 410 BC.
