Superb general account.' Times Literary SupplementThe story of the
history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece
in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the
Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The
philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology
respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the
Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of
astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid
down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return
to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift
of ideas during the Renaissance.
