Astrological systems are based on the premise that there is a
relationship between astronomical phenomena and the human world.
Astrology, different from astronomy, is a natural science which is
the study of celestial objects. The roots of western astrology can
be found in Mesopotamia in the 2nd millennium BCE. Chinese
astrology was commonly practised in the Zhou dynasty (1046-256
BCE). In India complicated astrological systems based on celestial
observations emerged as early as the 1st century BCE. Many ancient
civilisations searched for meaning in the sky. Referencing
astronomical rhythms helped to predict seasonal changes. Lunar
cycles were recorded as early as 25,000 years ago. Constellations
were observed and recorded. Their appearances were referenced to
the seasons and helped to predict annual floods and initiate
seasonal activities such as planting and harvesting. The procession
of cosmic bodies was related to philosophical elements, body
organs, personality types and states of mind. It was believed that
astrology explained everything about a persons fate and destiny. In
modern times astrology is considered a non-science. Scientific
testing of astrology has found little evidence to support the
effects claimed in astrological traditions. However, astrology has
never lost its fascination, and for many people it is a reliable
alternative guide to looking at the world and understanding its
subtleties. This guide provides a practical and useful overview of
the four most prominent astrological systems.
