Astrology is the first real known science. Long before physics,
chemistry, biology, there was astrology. The first famous
astrologers include the Three Wise Men, Nostradamus
and Isaac Newton. As early as 2900 B.C.E.,
the Sumerians built temples in the form of ziggurats, or terraced
pyramids, to observe the stars and planets. By 2000 B.C.E.,
the magi of Mesopotamia believed that there were no
accidents – that everything was connected in
the Universe. Fate and destiny were recognized and along with
that, studying the stars and the planets and working out how
their vibrations influenced people on Earth became a daily
occurrence.
Astrology began as the study of the wandering stars or planets
as we know them today. It is actually the study of
cycles, indicated by planetary movements and events
occurring at the same time on Earth. Astrologers analyze the
position of the planets at the time and place you were born
to map your strengths and challenges and your soul’s
purpose. That leads us to why it’s so vital that you
know your chart.
