historical astrology

Historical astrology is the practice of interpreting the supposed influence of celestial bodies—like stars and planets—on human affairs and natural phenomena. Originating in ancient civilizations such as Babylon, Egypt, and Greece, it was historically integrated into daily life, medicine, and politics. Astrologers created horoscopes and charts based on planetary positions at specific times, believing these could reveal personality traits or future events. While modern science does not support astrology’s claims, it remains a cultural and historical phenomenon that reflects humanity's long-standing quest to understand ourselves and the universe through celestial symbolism.
