Western Astrology
The origin and meaning of zodiac signs
Astrology through the Ages
 Through their observation of the skies across oceans of time ancient astronomers learned to predict the movement of the stars. Using this knowledge astrologers began to try and forecast earthly events which coincided with these movements.They discovered that the date and time of a persons birth seemed to indicate what type of personality that individual would be and therefore their future. If you could determine astrology personalities then you could predict future events. Thus began the art and history of Western astrology.
Western AstrologyWestern astrology is the system of astrology most popular in Europe and the United States. It is based primarily on the birthday of the predictee and the sun's and planets' positions in the ancient signs of the zodiac located along the ecliptic in equal, 30 degree sections (for a total of twelve signs) beginning at the Vernal Equinox on or around March 21st of each year.Origins of Western AstrologyWestern astrology originated in Mesopotamia during the 2nd millennium BC, from whence it spread to much of the world. Other systems of astrology were developed independently in China, in the Americas and elsewhere.Premodern observers noticed that the annual patterns of the movement of the stars coincided with such events as the advent of springtime, changes in weather and the migration of birds every year.
