astrology in ancient Greece

In ancient Greece, astrology was a way to interpret how celestial bodies—planets and stars—might influence human lives and events on Earth. Astrologers observed patterns in the night sky and believed that the positions of planets at the time of a person’s birth could reveal personality traits and future tendencies. They integrated astronomy with philosophical ideas, seeking to understand the cosmos’s harmony and its impact on human fate. While rooted in myth and symbolism, Greek astrology laid foundational concepts that influenced later astronomy and astrology practices across cultures.
