Review history to understand astrology and horoscopes

Mankind has an innate curiosity for the unknown, confusing and different. We also know the future, if only to alleviate our fears of the unknown or to see how influence. From the beginning of time, humans have looked to the stars answers to life, work, love and the future. The first types of astrology came from Ptolemaic Egypt during the Roman era. Alexander the Great occupied Egypt until 332 BC, then Egypt fell under the influence of the Greeks. Ptolemy, who derived the name of Ptolemaic Egypt, lived with Alexander the Great laid the foundations of Western astrological tradition through their work, Tetrabiblos. The time period immediately after the conquest of Alexander is known as the Hellenistic era.

The Hellenistic era, approximately 323 to 330 BC, was a period of awakening to new knowledge and theories where people explored and analyzed the reality instead of idealistic concepts and logical debate. During the Hellenistic era, there was a huge increase in the production of visual and decorative arts, theater, music, architecture, literature, mathematics, sculpture and science. Hellenistic astrology was developed during this time and maintained its original form until the 6th or 7th century AD, when it ended. Today there are 3 branches in astrology: Occidental, India and China (or East-Asian). However, it was in Alexandrian Egypt, the Babylonian astrology and traditional Egyptian astrology dean fused to form horoscopal astrology, which is a precursor Hellenistic astrology.

Astrology, astronomy and horoscopes are closely related. The interpreter of celestial phenomena is an astrologer, while the predictor of celestial phenomena is an astronomer. Astrologers therefore interpret celestial phenomena and how these objects affect human events depending on a table, or a horoscope. A horoscope chart or diagram representing the location and position of the sun, moon, planets and other astrological aspects with reference to sensitive angles in the table created which represent events in time such as the birth of a person. The word horoscope comes from the Greek words for "a look at the hours", or mark the hours, events and locations of celestial phenomena in the life of a person and studying how they affect human life. While astrology, astronomy and horoscopes seem confused in the plan of life, deep knowledge and know where they come from we can provide better insight into these issues as they relate and how they affect us today. The horoscopes are just a way for humans to satisfy their innate curiosity for the unknown, confusing and different, interpreting their future and future events.
