Babylonian astrology

Babylonian astrology is a type of ancient astrology that was developed in the region of Babylon (an ancient city located near modern-day Iraq). It involved using the stars and planets in the night sky to try and tell the future. The people of Babylon believed that the stars and planets had an influence on everyone's lives and they used this knowledge to try and predict things such as the success of a business, when a person will get married, and even when different events may happen. To make their predictions, the people of Babylon would look to the night sky and use the positions of the stars and planets to try and make sense of what might happen in the future.
