History of astrology

Astrology is based on the idea that the positions of the stars and planets in the sky affect people on Earth. People in ancient times noticed certain patterns in the behavior of their plants, animals, and children when certain stars were in certain positions. They began to believe that these stars helped to influence our lives. People thought that if they could understand these patterns, they could make better decisions about the future. Over time, astrology has evolved into a system of studying the stars and planets in order to make predictions about the future or gain insight into our lives. Astrology has been used to help people make decisions in all aspects of life, from health to love and relationships. Today, millions of people around the world still consult astrologers to help them make decisions and understand their lives.
