Few People Know the True History of Astrology Horoscopes
The study of personal horoscopes uses a variety of charts and diagrams that represent the sun, moon, and planets, which are interpreted along with sensitive angles based on the times of significant events, such as birthdays. Astrology was further developed by the Greeks, who named celestial objects in honor of their gods.
Many people love to check out the daily horoscope in the morning paper, but few know its history. Your weekly horoscope is the product of the study of astrology, which dates back 3,000 years in Babylonia, which is now present-day Iraq.
The study of astrology was banned in the middle Ages, although it experienced a reawakening in the Renaissance. Presently, two-thirds of the newspapers in the US carry a horoscope section. Astrology horoscopes are subject to the interpretation of the astrologer. Most modern horoscopes today rely only on the astrologer’s interpretation through a system of sun sign astrology.
Although the horoscope is not an exact science, math is still an integral part of reading a horoscope. Contrary to popular opinion, a reading of a romantic horoscope or a birthday horoscope is no piece of cake. The construction of daily or weekly horoscopes require the knowledge of the date of a certain time or event, which is translated into Greenwich Universal time and further into Greenwich sidereal time. A table called the ephimeris is consulted, and further additions and subtractions will then lead to the true local mean time of the place of birth to know the planets visible above the horizon of the place at the time in question.
